Gender dynamics within small-scale farming: narratives of smallholder livestock farmers in five provinces, South Africa

Abstract

This report presents findings based on 18 focus group discussions conducted over a period of 6 weeks in five provinces. It should be read in conjunction with the report on the Knowledge, Attitudes, Perceptions (KAPP) survey. We interviewed small-scale livestock farmers in order to get a grasp of their lived experiences as smallholder farmers and more particularly issues related to gender and farming. Although a vast and rich amount of data was collected, not all this data is presented in this section.
