La reforma agraria chilena, un proyecto de modernización y transformación social radical, incluía tanto las mujeres como a hombres campesinos a través de un modelo de "familia moderna" en el cual el hombre se transformaría en buen proveedor para la familia y productor para la nación, mientras la mujer se transformaría en una dueña de casa moderna. Este proyecto beneficiaba a las mujeres casadas pero las hizo económicamente más dependientes de los hombres, lo que generó agudos conflictos conyugales.

This study looks at wood curio carving in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Africa. Although the local people, Ndebele and Shona, have always carved, they now face a weakened economy, due in large part to land reforms in 2000. Thus, more people sculpt wood as a form of livelihood. As one man said “Starvation taught me art”. As a result, gender roles are shifting as men and women begin to enter realms previously reserved for the other. Environmentally, carvers poaching trees deforests the woodlands. As more individuals turn to making crafts sustainability deteriorates.
Hanfets is a popular mixture of wheat and barley grown in the highlands of Eritrea and Tigray (Northern Ethiopia). In this study, we tested 16 experimental hanfets constituting all possible combinations of four barley landraces and four wheat (two landraces and two varieties) at three locations in Eritrea for 3 years during which farmers (both men and women) made selections of suitable hanfets. Across locations and years, the grain yield of hanfets on average was similar to that of the pure barley but significantly higher than that of wheat.
