This study estimates crop productivity and incomes from crop production for women farmers undertaking collective farming with the Kudumbashree organisation. The method used to collect data on farm incomes broadly follows the CACP (Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices) methodology for calculating costs. The unit of our study will be the Joint Liability Group (JLG). The study aims to delineate the reasons for differential performances amongst the groups and to see whether these groups are successful as a viable alternative to individual farming and whether they can realise the theoretical advantages of group cultivation.

RÉSUMÉ Cette recherche propose une réflexion sur l’accès inégal des femmes à la terre au Fuuta dans une perspective d’analyse féministe intersectionnelle et néoinstitutionnelle. L’objectif est d’explorer les raisons qui expliquent pourquoi, malgré l’existence d’un cadre formel garantissant l’accès équitable à la terre, plusieurs femmes du Fuuta (Sénégal) demeurent désavantagées par rapport aux hommes. L’analyse porte principalement sur les relations de pouvoir dans la communauté et les rôles que peuvent jouer les institutions genrées, aussi bien formelles qu’informelles, dans le maintien des pratiques discriminatoires qui limitent l’accès des femmes aux terres agricoles dans cette région.

This article develops the concept indigenous human security to highlight consequential contestation over the meaning and deployment of the concept of human security towards indigenous populations. Using the case illustrations of Peru and Chile, we show how state policies may at times work in congruence with the human security of the general population, but create distinct and often overlooked insecurities for indigenous populations. We find states selectively implement human security to preserve existing governance and development patterns by utilising laws, policies, and state institutions that were not completely dismantled as part of the country’s democratisation efforts.

International experiential learning (IEL) benefits from recognising the needs and experiences of Southern hosts. Working with host families and in-country partners, our study finds that contrary to the broader critiques of the colonial character of such North–South relationships, community members shared largely positive assessments and experiences with the IEL program. While recognising the larger structural tensions in North–South engagement, we witnessed agency in the voices shared, that country and partnership context balances broader critiques, and that there is room for more effective inclusion of host community voices in our IEL programming to address North–South power differentials and promote deeper cultural exchange.
