ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the relation between gender norms and the adoption of one particular agricultural innovation for each of the two sites in Uganda. Those sites are Kisweeka parish, Kiboga district, and Kabaare parish, Isingiro district. Each agricultural innovation is placed in a social context to provide insight into some of the consequences of the innovation's adoption. The chapter assesses which innovations came up or were introduced in selected communities in Uganda over the past decade and were reported as most important by men and women. It discusses one innovation per site to go in-depth as to how, why and for whom these innovations made the most impact and what these impacts were. The chapter also looks at the social groups for which the specific innovations were not accessible or interesting and why. It discusses to what extent men's and women's abilities to adopt and benefit from this innovation were shaped by gender norms.
