At a time when donors and governments are increasing efforts to mainstream gender in agriculture, it is critical to revisit long-standing wisdom about gender inequalities in agriculture to be able to more efficiently design and evaluate policy interventions. Many stylized facts about women in agriculture have been repeated for decades. Did nothing really change? Is some of this conventional wisdom simply maintained over time, or has it always been inaccurate? An IFPRI discussion paper examines these questions using longitudinal data from Ghana to assess some of the facts and to evaluate whether gender patterns have changed over time. It focuses on five main themes: land, cropping patterns, market participation, agricultural inputs, and employment. In addition, a literature review shows new facts and evidence from more than 20 years. Results are varied and highlight the difficulty of making general statements about gender in agriculture.
