Women in agriculture: Adapt to or challenge the masculine management culture? – Kvinner i landbruket. Tilpasning til eller utfordring av en etablert mannlig driftskultur?

It is often claimed that due to different value orientations, men and women practice agriculture in different ways. In particular, the idea that women practice a more environmentally friendly or ecological style of management is a key assumption of this difference. This project explores whether female farmers in Norway represent different management values and attitudes to male farmers and what consequences this might have for succession of farms and recruitment to farming in Norway.
