Abstract

Tensue Gebre-Medhin is a 30-year-old woman who farms at an altitude of some 1500 m in Central Tigray, Ethiopia. Annual rainfall is about 650 mm and falls mainly between May and August. She has 5 dependants and about 1 ha of land on which she grows sorghum, teff, maize and barley. Ploughing with two oxen is a centuries-old tradition in Ethiopia, but has always been the domain of men. In 1981 the agricultural section of the TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) trained Tensue in oxen ploughing.
