What dimensions of women's empowerment in agriculture matter for nutrition in Ghana?

If Women Hold Up Half the Sky, How Much of the World’s Food Do They Produce? (2014, background): “10 Yet, a careful analysis of agriculture in Ghana finds while there are gendered patterns of cropping, the distinctions between men’s and women’s crops do not hold up well enough to use them to make inferences about men’s and women’s incomes (Doss 2002).”
Descent Rules and Strategic Transfers. Evidence from Matrilineal Groups in Ghana (2007, unknown): “7Note also that, in addition to the separation of the property, it is customary in Ghana to observe a division of the type of crops cultivated by men and women, and of the income generated by different sources, as documented by Lastarria-Cornhiel (1997) and by Doss (2001).”
