Abstract

Women empowerment in agricultural endeavors is deemed to be a powerful solution for improving global sustenance. Thus, this survey seeks to analyze the impact that women’s participation in agriculture has on the food security of 336 households from Anna Sorraa District, Guji zone of Oromia Region, Ethiopia. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using household surveys, focus group discussions, and data collection methods using key informant interviews. Statistical measures such as the Women Empowerment in Agriculture Index and household calorie availability were used for descriptive analysis, while binary logistic regression and Propensity Scores Matching provided insights through econometric modeling. Results indicated that 58.6% of women’s were disempowered. Household calorie intake statistics revealed that 53.9% of those surveyed had food insecure households, while 46.1% had food intake available to them. A regression analysis found most factors, including age, female head of household, female education level, Husband’s education and annual household income positively impacted women empowerments—with one exception being whether subject lived near a market or not. Propensity Scores Matching further demonstrated that households with empowered women consumed 560.89 kcal/AE/day compared to those without such an asset. Research concluded that women’s involvement in agricultural activities is a crucial factor to improve food security in this area. Consequently, it was strongly recommended that government and other stakeholders focus their attention on empowering women. Additionally, further research should be conducted to gain an even more comprehensive understanding of how important female empowerment really is.
妇女在农业活动中的赋权及其对农户粮食安全的影响:以埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚州古吉区安娜·索拉县为例
妇女在农业活动中的赋权被认为是改善全球生计的有力解决方案。因此,本调查旨在分析妇女参与农业对埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚州古吉地区安娜索拉县336户家庭粮食安全的影响。定量和定性数据的收集采用入户调查,焦点小组讨论和数据收集方法使用关键的线人访谈。统计方法如农业妇女赋权指数和家庭卡路里可用性用于描述性分析,而二元逻辑回归和倾向得分匹配通过计量经济模型提供了见解。结果表明,58.6%的妇女被剥夺了权利。家庭热量摄入统计数据显示,53.9%的受访者家庭粮食不安全,46.1%的人有食物摄入。回归分析发现,大多数因素,包括年龄、女性户主、女性受教育程度、丈夫受教育程度和家庭年收入,都对女性赋权有积极影响,只有一个例外,即受试者是否住在市场附近。倾向得分匹配进一步表明,与没有这种资产的家庭相比,拥有赋权妇女的家庭每天消耗560.89千卡/卡路里。研究得出的结论是,妇女参与农业活动是改善这一领域粮食安全的一个关键因素。因此,强烈建议政府和其他利益攸关方将注意力集中在赋予妇女权力上。此外,应该进行进一步的研究,以更全面地了解女性赋权的重要性。
