    Poor women in developing countries rely on land as source of livelihood. Increasing pressure on land — brought on by globalisation pressures, increased population and privatisation — undermines women’s land tenure security. The comparison of women’s land access is predominantly measured against that of men, and this has been the basis for formulating policy aimed at increasing women’s land tenure security. However, this dichotomy reduces women to a homogenous group which experiences tenure security in an identical manner, so the dichotomy masks several differences which exist among women.

    We preliminarily find that providing sustainable land management (SLM) training to standard contact farmers and having them maintain demonstration plots within the community on a whole had low impact on the knowledge and adoption of SLM practices. However, the aspect of our intervention that targeted a traditionally disadvantaged group as far as their access to extension services, women, was somewhat successful in terms of improving their SLM knowledge and adoption rates. Having a female contact farmer increased the number of SLM techniques adopted by women by 10 percent.

    Concluímos preliminarmente que oferecer treino em gestão sustentável das terras (GST) aos agricultores de contacto típi-cos e fazer com que mantenham lotes de demonstração na comunidade tinha, no geral, um impacto reduzido na aprendiza-gem e na adoção de práticas de GST. No entanto, a vertente da nossa intervenção que tinha como alvo as mulheres, um grupo tradicionalmente desfavorecido no que se refere ao acesso aos serviços de extensão, foi relativamente bem-sucedida em termos de melhoria dos seus conhecimentos, bem como da adoção de práticas de GST.
