This book offers a wide, in-depth study of the gender-climate
change-agriculture nexus. The crux of understanding these
connections comprises gender equality and tools to measure gender
discrimination, the evolution of the concept of gender
inclusiveness and its concerns; and the need to address the same by
formulating gender-inclusive policymaking. Despite the fact that
more than 50 years have elapsed since gender concerns were included
in explorations of this nexus, there is still ambiguity around the
foundations, connections, and approaches for planning
gender-inclusive climate policies. This book aims to clear that
ambiguity by: * Being the first to explore exclusively this issue
in detail. * Revealing how and why consideration of gender is so
important for understanding how climate change impacts rural
communities and agricultural systems globally. * Exploring every
dimension of climate change (including belief systems and
perceptions, knowledge, experience, coping strategies, adaptation,
and mitigation strategies) and linking 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. It 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.
