摘要

现代农业技术可以在促进发展中国家的增长和发展方面发挥关键作用。在发展中国家,小农长期面临贫困,而女性农民往往处于不利的社会地位,获得这种技术的机会有限。本研究探讨了现代农业技术——特别是bauu - str干燥机——对农场绩效、妇女赋权和减贫的影响。采用结构方程模型(SEM),通过基于结构化访谈时间表的面对面访谈收集了176名孟加拉国小农女性农民的数据,对研究模型进行了验证。SEM分析的实证结果显示:(i)现代农业技术的使用,特别是bauu - str干燥机,显著和积极影响农场绩效,但它与妇女赋权和减贫没有统计上的直接关系;㈡农场业绩对增强妇女权能和减少贫穷都有显著的积极影响;赋予妇女权力对减贫具有直接和积极的影响;农场绩效调节现代农业技术对赋予妇女权力和减少贫穷的影响。政策应侧重于鼓励和使女性农民能够获得现代农业技术,如bauu - str干燥机。本研究通过强调现代农业技术的重要性及其对发展中国家农业绩效、妇女赋权和减贫的相互影响,为文献做出了贡献。

Modern agrotechnology, women’s empowerment and poverty reduction nexus: Mediation of farm performance; empirical evidence on BAU-STR dryer
Modern agrotechnology can play a crucial role in fostering growth and development in developing countries, where smallholder farmers face persistent poverty, and female farmers often occupy a disadvantaged societal position with limited access to such technology. This study explores the impacts of modern agrotechnology—particularly the BAU-STR dryer—on farm performance, women’s empowerment and poverty reduction. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to validate the research model, using data collected from 176 Bangladeshi smallholder female farmers through face-to-face interviews based on a structured interview schedule. The empirical results from the SEM analysis reveal that (i) modern agrotechnology’s use, specifically the BAU-STR dryer, significantly and positively impacts farm performance, but it is not statistically directly related to women’s empowerment and poverty reduction; (ii) farm performance significantly positively influences both women’s empowerment and poverty reduction; (iii) women’s empowerment has a direct and positive effect on poverty reduction; (iv) farm performance mediates the impact of modern agrotechnology on women’s empowerment and poverty reduction. Policies should focus on encouraging and enabling female farmers to access modern agrotechnology, such as BAU-STR dryers. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of modern agrotechnology and its interconnected impacts on farm performance, women’s empowerment and poverty reduction in developing countries.

期刊介绍: World Development Perspectives is a multi-disciplinary journal of international development. It seeks to explore ways of improving human well-being by examining the performance and impact of interventions designed to address issues related to: poverty alleviation, public health and malnutrition, agricultural production, natural resource governance, globalization and transnational processes, technological progress, gender and social discrimination, and participation in economic and political life. Above all, we are particularly interested in the role of historical, legal, social, economic, political, biophysical, and/or ecological contexts in shaping development processes and outcomes.
