This paper addresses women's empowerment in agriculture, innovations in its measurement, and emerging evidence. We discuss the evolution of the conceptualization and measurement of women's empowerment and gender equality since 2010. Using a gender and food systems framework and a standardized measure of women's empowerment, the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), we review the evidence on "what works" to empower women based on impact evaluations of a portfolio of 11 agricultural development projects with empowerment objectives and a scoping review of livestock interventions. We then review the evidence on associations between empowering women and societal benefits--agricultural productivity, incomes, and food security and nutrition. We conclude with recommendations for measurement and policy.
本文探讨了农业领域的妇女赋权、其衡量方法的创新以及新出现的证据。我们讨论了自2010年以来妇女赋权和性别平等概念化及衡量方法的演变。利用性别与粮食系统框架以及衡量妇女赋权的标准化指标——农业领域妇女赋权指数（WEAI），我们基于对11个具有赋权目标的农业发展项目组合的影响评估以及对畜牧干预措施的范围界定审查，回顾了关于“哪些措施有效”以增强妇女权能的证据。然后，我们回顾了关于妇女赋权与社会福利（农业生产力、收入以及粮食安全和营养）之间关联的证据。最后，我们给出了关于衡量方法和政策的建议。
