In an increasingly interconnected world, understanding and addressing gender sensitivity in our work is not just a trend—it’s a necessity. In the workshop on how to integrate gender sensitivity in agricultural research and projects, PhD researchers Lilian Beck from the University Hohenheim and Subash Surendran Padmaja from the University of Bonn discuss gendered power dynamics that extend far beyond simple patriarchal frameworks.
The final day of Tropentag 2024 started with a workshop on the topic of “Upscaling Agroforestry in the Tropics” led by Lilian Beck, a PhD researcher from the University of Hohenheim, alongside representatives from the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF). The workshop featured interactive reflections on agroforestry practices, case studies and recommendations to advance these practices.
