Synopsis

This book offers a wide, in-depth study of the gender-climate change-agriculture nexus. Despite more than 40 years of research exploring this nexus, there is still ambiguity around the foundations, connections, and approaches for planning gender-inclusive climate policies. This volume clears that ambiguity. This is the first book to explore exclusively this issue in this detail. The book reveals how and why consideration of gender is so important for understanding how climate change impacts on rural communities and agricultural systems globally. The book explores every dimension of climate change (including belief systems and perceptions, knowledge, experience, coping strategies, adaptation and mitigation strategies) and links it to gender. It includes new theoretical and methodological approaches that go far beyond the household as the unit of analysis (using various approaches, including intersectional analysis). The book not only throws light on major themes of research, but also covers different methodologies ranging from review methods to mathematical models, conceptual frameworks and empirical analysis. This book will be of wide interest to students, scholars, and researchers, in gender studies, agriculture, climate change and rural development research, and also to practitioners, extension workers, and planners designing new climate-resilient practices.
