A policy group says Africa's climate goals could be lost if women in farming are not supported. NexGen Deutsche-Afrik released a report on the issue.
The report, titled The Gender Lens in Climate-Resilient Agriculture, highlights systemic problems. These problems stop women from fully participating in agriculture.
These barriers include lack of access to land, money, and training. Women often do not get the same resources as men in farming.
This affects how well farms can handle changes caused by climate, like floods and droughts.
The organization argues that including women more in agribusiness is key. This will help build stronger, more adaptable farming systems across Africa.
The policy brief provides evidence and recommendations. It urges governments and organizations to create fairer policies.
This approach is needed to ensure food security and economic growth in the face of a changing climate.
