Abstract: | Attention to differences within communities is important in working toward sustainability of an agro-ecosystem. In the Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Collaborative Research Support Program, gender made a difference in terms of access and control over key resources – financial, human, natural, and social capital – critical for project success. Efforts to build social capital among women proved critical in developing both collective and households strategies for sustainability. The sites differed greatly in both landscape and lifescape. Women's position within each landscape provided an important perspective with which to assess and act toward achieving ecosystem, economic, and social sustainability. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
