The project is about developing a gender-responsive knowledge transfer pathway (KTP) for the adoption of
best practices in vegetable production in the Philippines. The main goal is to address the gender-based constraints
in technology transfer to increase the adoption of innovative practices and improve the livelihoods of women
farmers. The project focused on understanding gender roles and constraints in three project sites—Atok, Benguet in Luzon; Ormoc City, Leyte in the Visayas, and Claveria, Misamis Oriental in Mindanao—and designing a
mechanism to enhance technology adoption. Through the mixed methods approach, the project aimed to develop
policy recommendations for effective knowledge transfer pathways that will benefit women farmers and ensure
equity in resource allocation. The KTP Project was initially intended to work synchronously with the ACIAR and
DOST-PCAARRD-funded soil and land management (SLAM) research on heavy metals and soil contaminants
which aims to enhance soil quality and pathogen management. However, the KTP Project was implemented one
year ahead of the SLAM Project. Thus, the recommendations of the KTP Project on knowledge transfer pathways
shall be adopted when the SLAM Project shall have generated technologies for dissemination to farmers.
