Key findings
- Peak-season time diaries show childcare overlaps with fertilizer top-dressing windows, depressing timely adoption of recommended packages.
- Light mechanization trials free hours that reallocates to livestock care rather than leisure — implications for how WTP is measured.
Gendered agronomy
Extension calendars designed for male plot managers mis-time recommendations for households where women execute key tasks under competing care burdens.
Joint modeling
We estimate simultaneous equations for time poverty indices and technology stacks, using rainfall timing as an instrument for labor peaks.
