Synopsis (short abstract) This policy brief illustrates the key conditions that need to be in place for women’s adoption of labour-saving technologies and practices. It relies on FAO’s experience and is targeted at policy makers and service providers who support a wide range of production systems (from subsistence to market- oriented). The brief illustrates that a set of integrated strategies and actions need to be developed and implemented to reach communities and support women’s social and economic empowerment for technology adoption. This means targeting both men and women, at household level and within the context of local institutions, and addressing a set of inter-related cultural, economic and environmental constraints.

Gender sensitive labour saving technology
Drum seeder: saving time, effort and money
2018

Also available in:

Asian agriculture is rapidly changing, with a shift from traditional labour intensive operations to labour saving technologies and mechanization at farm level and for post-harvest and processing operations. These changes are underpinned by a number of factors, including rising labour scarcity in rural communities in the region, increasing labour costs, the increasing feminization of agriculture and the development of modern agri-food chains in response to market demands (FAO, 2014). In Sayabouly province in Lao PDR, a labour saving technology called drum seeder has been field tested in support of the Sustainable Intensification of Rice Production (SIRP) by the Laotian Government, smallholder farmers and supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). A drum seeder is a manual technology used for drum seeding pre-germinated rice seeds, it is suited to both men and women farmers. This study compares the three planting methods (i.e. drum seeding, manual translating and broadcasting) using data from an initiative in Lao PDR. The results show that drum seeding in the rice production systems appears to be an attractive option compared to the traditional planting methods, namely manual transplanting and broadcasting. Its use saves time and money (labour and seed), reduces workload and drudgery and increases the labour productivity. The use of a drum seeder also contributes towards building resilience against climate change by smallholder farmers as they can cope better with erratic weather, and re-plant their field faster in case of losing their rice crops due to natural disaster. The inclusion of more women in the field demonstrations and training on the use of drum seeder (and other labour saving technology) will help to increase its adoption in rural communities and close the gender gap.

Ten years of FAO experience on ending child labour in agriculture in Africa
A compendium of practices from Malawi, Mali, the Niger, the United Republic of Tanzania and Uganda
2022

Also available in:

No results found.

This compendium is the result of a first-of-its-kind stocktaking exercise looking at FAO activities to address child labour in agriculture in Malawi, Mali, Uganda, the Niger and the United Republic of Tanzania over a decade (2010–2020). It is intended to make a practical contribution to the field of child labour elimination in agriculture, by shedding a light on some of the FAO-supported activities, country processes and practices as well as achievements, and lessons learned. As such, it highlights the general main lessons learned and key messages, outlines and provide details on country processes and related outcomes and achievements on knowledge generation, capacity development, awareness raising, policy advice and promotion of advocacy and partnerships. The contents on these FAO strategies for the elimination of child labour in agriculture are complemented by examples of areas of work such as promoting safe practices and labour-saving technologies and empowering and building the skills of youth aged 15–17 by facilitating school-to-work transition in agriculture.
