As a result, they tend to be conservative in their farming decisions, eschewing productive ventures that might raise the expected value of their income, but also raise its variance.
And plant breeders tend to raise cereals which maximise calories, not nutrients.Policymakers can also try to increase women's control over farming decisions (in some countries, only men may own land or get agricultural credit, for instance).
Although complex on the behavioral side, such representations are usually simplistic with respect to the available choice options in farmer decision making and practical constraints related to farming decisions.
Farmers' risk preferences play an important role in their farming decisions.
Farm typology study recognizes that farmers are not a monolithic group and face differential constraints in their farming decisions depending on the resources available to them and their lifestyle (Soule [2001]).
Environmental conditions, variability in soil, input levels, combinations and commodity prices have made it all the more relevant for farmers to use information and get help to make critical farming decisions.
On the contrary, female respondents were either sharing responsibilities with their male counterparts, as married couples (69.8%), or entirely being responsible for all household farming decisions as single mothers (30.2%).
This would cover much of everyday food consumption (e.g., eat this piece of cake now vs. postpone eating it), to agricultural farming decisions (e.g., how much of the underground water reserves to use today) as well as health-related decision making (e.g., smoking decisions).
Consider "precision agriculture" by using smarter analysis of big data to make more precise and predictive farming decisions.
