CGIAR Launches Projects on Women and Low-Emissions Agriculture in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Honduras - Climate Change Policy & Practice

The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research's (CGIAR) Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) has initiated three action research projects in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Honduras as part of its gender strategy, which seeks to advance climate mitigation efforts that benefit both men and women farmers. These projects aim to understand the complex and surprising impacts agricultural practices and climate policies can have on women and local livelihoods.

CGIAR Climate's insight:
The three projects, led by Prolinnova, an international network hosted by CCAFS and the ETC Foundation, will focus on how women farmers impact, and are impacted by, local innovations, technologies and agricultural policies across different cultures, contexts and scales.
