This deliverable serves as an essential component in our exploration of women-led innovations within the agricultural and rural domains. Its main goal is to identify and define important sub-themes that are essential for choosing the FLIARA project partner case studies. The deliverable serves as a fundamental continuation of the knowledge gained from Work Package 1 (WP1) and Work Package 2 (WP2) and is a vital component of the overall research framework, seamlessly feeding into Deliverable 3.1: Research Guidelines and Thematic Selection.

The deliverable takes a multifaceted approach, combining an exploration of the work carried out in WP1 and WP2 alongside a review of relevant literature, thorough collection of women-led innovations from partner countries, and a desktop analysis that focuses on the unique dynamics of our project partners' countries. When taken as a whole, these elements offer a strong basis upon which to build in the later stages of our investigation, allowing for well-informed choices and the deliberate selection of case studies that will enlighten and enhance the conversation on women's contributions to agricultural and rural innovation.
