There are numerous studies on the interlinkage between gender and agricultural productivity and gender and agricultural technology adoption. However, most of these studies use the sex of the household head as a gender indicator, which ends up dismissing the contributions of males in female-headed households and females in male-headed households. This chapter provides a detailed overview of these studies, focussing on the factors that influence the adoption of agricultural technology by women smallholder farmers, as well as how differences in agricultural productivity between male and female farm households can be measured.
