Women's Self-help Groups, Decision-making, and Improved Agricultural Practices in India: From Extension to Practice
Publisher: IFPRI
This research was undertaken as part of the Women Improving Nutrition through Group-based Strategies
(WINGS) study, and was aimed at understanding ways to improve agricultural practices among women
farmers in India. Effective agricultural extension is key to improving productivity, increasing farmers’
access to information, and promoting more diverse sets of crops and improved methods of cultivation. In
India, however, the coverage of agricultural extension workers and the relevance of extension advice is
poor. [IFPRI Discussion Paper 01735]
