Context
Climate change poses a challenge to agriculture globally, underscoring the need for inclusive adaptation frameworks that enhance the resilience of vulnerable groups, particularly females. Objective This study aims to identify the types of adaptation options discussed in the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) literature globally, with a focus on their gender relevance. We also examine key gendered preferences in adaptation options, explore the nature of the gender gap in actual adoption, and highlight enablers and barriers to overall technology uptake, with a special emphasis on females. Method A systematic global review comprising 321 evidence-based studies was conducted in the current study. Results and conclusion Findings reveal that male farmers generally adopt a broader range of CSA adaptation strategies. Males tend to prioritise planting techniques such as improved crop varieties, while females more often adopt systems approaches. Wealth status, limited access to credit, and extension consistently emerge as key barriers for overall technology adoption, while effective extension and social networks serve as major enablers for female technology adoption. We propose targeted policy recommendations centred around institutional support, extension, community networks, and adequate finance to support gender-responsive adaptation frameworks. Significance With its global scope and gender-sensitive lens, this review makes a timely and essential contribution to the literature, addressing the need for transformative and inclusive climate action in the agricultural sector. Proposed recommendations may be tailored to regional socioeconomic contexts, thereby advancing inclusive and effective agricultural resilience to climate change. |
