As men’s and women’s levels of responsibility and decision making over natural resources vary from sedentary agriculture, pastoralist, and shifting cultivation cultures, overlooking gender differences can result in incorrect assessments of the trade-offs and effects of policies on communities.

What do you think: How significant are gender differences in land use activities and management? What special support do women and men require and are landscapes approaches offering this potential?
