Description

"In agriculture, a gendered division of labor is also important: men fell the large trees, women slash the underbrush; men fire the swidden; men use dibble sticks to punch holes in the soil for the rice and legume seeds while women follow with a small seed basket attached to a string around their waists and drop a few grains into each hole. Both sexes plant cuttings from vegetatively propagated plants, such as cassava, banana, and tuba (Derris spp.). Both weed-to the extent that weeding is done."
