Looking beyond the farm for gender issues in FSRE.

The history from 1969-89 of a maize project, which involved 10 Yoruba villages near Ile-Ife in western Nigeria, is examined in order to highlight gender issues in the maize system. The villages involved in the University of Ife's Rural Development Programme, were primarily cocoa growing villages. Findings from several studies conducted during the agricultural development process are combined to demonstrate the following points: (1) programme interventions at any point in a food production system may influence all other points; (2) programme interventions can raise gender issues; (3) gender issues affecting postharvest processes can influence farm production; and (4) an ecosystems approach involving client participation in research and extension can help to predict and accommodate gender issues.
