註釋Practical, problem-solving analysis of gender and other socioeconomic variables for use in Ag & NRM (agriculture and natural resource management) development has been hobbled by biological and sociological reductionisms and by analytic disjunctions between human and biophysical ecologies. As an alternative, this article introduces a framework for the problem-centered analysis of biosocially defined groups and their roles in Ag & NRM within producer communities or socionatural regions. The framework goes beyond simple gendered divisions of labor to also examine intra-household, household, and inter- and supra-household groups and their access to the natural resources upon which cropping and stockraising depend; control of the necessary techno-ecological knowledge in the five major domains of Ag & NRM activity (resource management, production/extraction, transformation, distribution, and consumption/nutrition); responsibilities for supervising or administering Ag & NRM tasks in these domains; and decision-making power in all these realms. Examples from Africa and an extended case from stockraising in the Andes illustrate the utility of such a framework for the successful design, implementation, and evaluation of equitable and environmentally sound and sustainable Ag & NRM development initiatives. The framework's utility for training in gender analysis is also noted.
