Overview"This case study focuses on smallholder farms in Soc Trang, southern Viet Nam. Its purpose is to illustrate and compare women and men's contributions to two integrated, rice-based farming systems: the first and more traditional one is centered on double rice cropping, while the second adopted an innovative practice which integrates rice and aquaculture (shrimp farming). The study explores how gender norms affect the division of labour and farmer's access to and decision-making about productive inputs, technologies and services. The conclusion introduces a set of key findings from a social and economic perspective, acknowledging the importance of recognizing ""invisible family labour"" when pursuing agricultural productivity goals and pointing to the benefits of integrated agriculture/aquaculture/livestock systems. It is followed by recommendations, aimed at policy makers, researchers and development partners" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Food and Agriculture Organization , World Health OrganizationPublisher: Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Imprint: Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) ISBN: 9789251097601ISBN 10: 9251097607 Pages: 59 Publication Date: 30 September 2017 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Tertiary & Higher Education , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable  The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
