Abstract
The paper at hand deals with a discourse on what constitutes sustainable agricultural development.1 It documents how the majority of rural women are heavily involved in small-scale, subsistence, rain-fed and risk-prone agriculture, while at the same time their rights to resources and common properties have become more limited. In the quest for sustainable agricultural development, approaches in research and extension which aim at combating gender-based differences in such agricultural production need to be evolved. This requires a rationality for change which acknowledges differences in the ways men and women use and appropriate resources, perceive and conceptualise resources, while at the same time recognises differences of need among the two genders.
