Abstract

Ravula Padmaja and Ma Cynthia Serquina Bantilan draw lessons from gender-based social analysis at International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics with a particular focus on agriculture. They look at agricultural technology development through a social lens, reflecting on the growing need for a holistic, impact-oriented approach to integrated aquaculture and agricultural research for development based on innovation and cooperation.
