Climate Change, Gender Bias and Women's Farming

Climate Change, Gender Bias and Women's Farming is a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationship between environmental challenges, systemic inequalities, and the critical role of women in agriculture. The book explores how climate change disproportionately impacts women farmers, particularly in developing regions where agriculture is not just a livelihood but a cornerstone of food security and economic stability. It highlights the dual burden faced by women-navigating the tangible effects of climate change while contending with deeply rooted gender biases that limit their access to resources, technology, and decision-making power.This book is divided into thematic sections that cover the historical context of women's roles in agriculture, the gendered impacts of climate change, and the barriers women face in adopting climate-resilient farming practices. It also examines policy frameworks, case studies, and community-driven initiatives that have successfully addressed these challenges. The text underscores the importance of gender-sensitive climate policies and the empowerment of women farmers as pivotal strategies for fostering sustainable and inclusive agricultural systems.
