Sustainable rice farming and its impact on rural women in Myanmar
2021
Connor, Melanie | San, Su Su
This article reports on a study that investigated the adoption of sustainable rice farming practices and its social and cultural impact on rural women in Myanmar through the use of semi-structured interviews. The findings show that adoption resulted in a great variety of changes, which have impacted on both a personal level and at a community level. Families use extra income to invest in farming, nutrition and in their children by enabling them to acquire formal education rather than assisting with farm work. Much time and finances are also spent on community activities, which appear to strengthen community bonds and contribute to improved infrastructure, such as roads.
