Abstract: This paper explores gender perspectives in the dissemination of improved mung bean cultivation methods, addressing how gender dynamics affect the adoption of agricultural innovations. Women in rural areas, particularly in Asian countries where mung bean is a staple crop, face unique barriers to accessing agricultural knowledge, which impacts their ability to implement improved farming practices. Gender inequalities in resource access, training, and decision-making power often lead to disparities in the adoption of agricultural innovations. This review synthesizes studies on gendered agricultural practices, focusing on mung bean farming, and evaluates strategies for enhancing gender-sensitive agricultural extension. We highlight the importance of involving both men and women in agricultural development programs and the benefits of gender-inclusive extension services. This paper also identifies gaps in the literature, proposing areas for further research to strengthen gender-responsive agricultural interventions.
