This document discusses gender dimensions in agrobiodiversity management. It defines gender as a social construct distinct from biological sex. Gender equality is recognized as a fundamental human right and means to achieve sustainable development goals. A gender lens is important in agrobiodiversity because access to, knowledge of, and roles with biodiversity often differ between women and men. Gender norms influence rights to resources, participation in decision-making, and how costs and benefits are distributed. Understanding these gender dimensions is key to ensuring equal outcomes from agrobiodiversity programs and policies.Gender transformative rights-based approaches for sustainable landscapes (glf...
This document discusses rights-based approaches and the need to move beyond gender-blind and safeguards approaches to a more gender-transformative approach. It notes that while some progress has been made in recognizing rights and gender equality, an access gap remains where not all people are able to benefit from guaranteed rights. A gender-transformative approach would put gender equity at the core, work to close access gaps for both men and women, and engage with indigenous communities as rights-holders with equal voice and influence over outcomes. Challenges to this approach include issues of political will, the time needed to understand local gender dynamics and change status quos, and determining whose rights and responsibilities should be recognized.

The document discusses the links between gender, food security, forests, and climate change. It notes that women play multiple roles as farmers, foresters, livestock managers, and more. Their livelihood strategies involve various integrated activities. Women's education and status are correlated with better child nutrition outcomes. The document outlines how climate change will impact men and women differently due to varying roles, resources, knowledge, and vulnerabilities. It calls for empowering women in climate-related decision making, projects, and information to enhance resilience and food security.FoodNetPaper

Emerging Pollutants governance 2013
- Universities and research institutions in developed countries play a leading role in providing data and analysis to inform policy on pollutants in irrigation water. They work closely with the private and public sectors.
- In contrast, universities and research institutions in developing countries have little contribution to policy evaluation and improvement. They operate in isolation without support.
- To improve governance of pollutants, countries need to understand current national models and learn from challenges. They must also develop plans to actively engage universities and research in monitoring, analyzing data, and advising upgraded policies.
emerging pollutants governance 2013 haddad presentation
This document discusses the role of universities and research institutions in controlling and managing pollutants in irrigation water through good governance. It states that while universities in developed countries play a leading role by providing data, analysis, and policy input, universities in developing countries often have little contribution and unclear roles. The document calls for (1) understanding current national governance practices, (2) learning from challenges, and (3) implementing a dynamic plan to engage universities in the sector. Good governance requires exploring innovative ideas, analyzing data, converging findings, and continuously improving policies. Priorities should include control measures, funding support, and integrating stakeholders like governments, farmers, and the private sector.

Gender implications of climate change and ecosystem degradation
Rural women in the global South are closely connected to ecosystem services due to their roles in household food provisioning and social reproduction. They play a stronger role than men in managing ecosystem services and have specialized knowledge of biological resources. However, rural women are also the most vulnerable to the negative impacts of ecosystem degradation and climate change, and are often excluded from decisions regarding resource exploitation and management due to inequitable social norms. The document calls for women's voices, knowledge, and challenges to be central to climate adaptation efforts, and for investing in women's resilience to catalyze ecosystem conservation and sustainable management. It suggests empowering women to directly influence policy could make them strategic partners in environmental negotiations.
Ica 2017 arctic nrm
Presented at the International Communication Association 2017 annual conference, at San Diego, CA, May 28
In the U.S., where policy action on climate change and natural resource management (NRM) is piecemeal at best, the fragile Arctic has predictably been hampered by political wrangling and corporate lobbying. This paper examines the obstacles encountered by organizations pursuing NRM in the U.S. Arctic, and how they are able to nonetheless enact effective NRM. I adopt a stakeholder perspective, drawing from communication research on sustainable organizing to trace ongoing tensions of local/global, science/community, and social/environmental in the Arctic. The qualitative study is based on interviews with 28 actors, fieldwork in five different sites, and analysis of key texts. Findings revealed a number of structural and communicative challenges to NRM, hinging on discursive closure. However, participants identified three overarching themes of effective NRM that were being accomplished—related to decision-making, everyday communicative work, and risk management for both institutional and environmental uncertainties. Both theoretical and practical implications are considered.

The document discusses environmental justice and inclusivity. It defines environmental justice as existing when environmental risks, hazards, investments and benefits are equally distributed without discrimination at all levels of government. It also discusses how poverty, racism, sexism and the exclusion of children can lead to unequal access to clean water, greater environmental risks and lack of participation in decision making around environmental issues. As a case study, it examines waste management challenges and environmental injustice faced by the Roma community in Sofia, Bulgaria. It argues that improving choices and inclusivity for all improves life outcomes and benefits society overall.

This document summarizes the current literature on gender and natural resource management approaches, and discusses the history of land reform and status of women's land rights in rural China. It reviews two main strands of gender and environment theory, as well as three approaches adopted by developers - WED, WID, and GED. The GED approach that emphasizes dynamic social relations is adopted for analyzing rural women's land rights and feminization of agriculture in China. It then discusses China's land reform history from 1949 to 1978. Despite some gains, women's land rights are still limited in reality, and they can lose land due to marriage, divorce or widowhood. Data shows difficulties for newly married, divorced and widowed women to retain or obtain land
Sustainability of natural resource management
This document summarizes research on natural resource management strategies in northern Ghana. It finds that both informal, traditional strategies and formal strategies are important for sustainability. Traditional strategies emphasized respect for nature and prohibiting overexploitation through spiritual beliefs and rules passed down over generations. However, population growth is depleting resources. The research concludes that local and formal/modern knowledge systems must collaborate continuously to address resource depletion through mutually reinforcing laws and management practices. A combination of ethnographic research methods and surveys were used to understand perspectives of local experts and community members.

Gender, Agriculture, and the Environment: From “Zombie Facts” to EvidenceInternational Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
Women face significant challenges in accessing productive resources like land and capital. While commonly cited statistics about women's contributions to agriculture and poverty rates are often unsupported, there are real gender inequalities. Better data and nuanced analysis are needed to understand intrahousehold dynamics and women's roles in food production and environmental stewardship. Recognizing women's agency and constraints in different contexts can improve policies and interventions.“The Customer is the Forest”: Nonhuman Nature in Food, Energy, and Water Rese...
This document summarizes focus group interviews conducted with three groups - a resource manager advisory group, faculty studying the food-energy-water nexus, and graduate students/staff also studying the nexus. The interviews aimed to understand how these groups consider nonhuman nature (plants, animals, ecosystems) as stakeholders. The advisory group frequently mentioned fish and the environment as important stakeholders. However, students and faculty focused more on human groups like government agencies and did not mention nonhuman nature as stakeholders. Future research should explore how nonhuman nature is considered in other regions and how research can better incorporate it.
Gender and Climate Change: Does It Matter?
This document summarizes research from projects studying the links between gender, climate change, and agriculture in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Kenya, and Mali. Some key findings:
1) Women have less access to climate information, technologies, and assets compared to men, putting them at greater risk from climate impacts.
2) Group-based approaches and access to resources can help boost women's resilience, but women face barriers to participation.
3) Studies found gender gaps in awareness, knowledge, and roles regarding adaptation strategies. While policies aim to be gender-sensitive, implementation challenges remain.

This document discusses lessons that can be learned from women's indigenous knowledge practices regarding adaptation to climate change in developing countries. It outlines various adaptation strategies used by women, such as altering planting dates, crop diversification, and mixed farming. It also identifies constraints, such as limited access to resources and lack of decision-making power. Key lessons include women's extensive community knowledge, social networking abilities, food storage and caring practices. The conclusion states that supporting women and involving them in designing adaptation strategies could help address climate change impacts in developing areas.

Towards more resilient farming communities in lesotho
Supported by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) I conducted interviews with communities involved in FAO's Conservation Agriculture project http://www.lesothocsa.com/ to assess their resilience to extreme drought conditions. The interviews took place during January 2016 during an exceptionally dry summer, after most planted crops have failed. Farming communities in Lesotho are not very resilient to extreme droughts. But those that are resilient:
Work together
Are well-connected – share knowledge, learn
Have good leadership
Have rules, and a constitution
Plan ahead
Have many different livelihood strategies
Are patient
Are prepared to try new things – they help themselves.

This document summarizes a case study on the role of trees and community forestry in recovery and resilience in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. It presents hypotheses that trees shaped resilience before and after the disaster, and that citizen engagement with trees played a crucial role in recovery across multiple scales. It then provides perspectives from a community partner on recovery progress, the progress of their tree planting project, contributions from research, and benefits/challenges of the research partnership. Finally, it presents preliminary results suggesting natural capital and restoration are underappreciated but important for post-disaster recovery and resilience.
Achieving Gender Justice in Indonesia's Forest and Land Governance Sector
This document discusses gender issues related to land and forest governance in Indonesia. It notes that land-based industries like palm oil plantations and mining are expanding rapidly and causing high rates of deforestation. This expansion often has disproportionate negative impacts on women, such as loss of land and livelihoods, environmental damage, and increased work burdens. It recommends that civil society organizations address these gendered impacts and promote women's participation in decision making to achieve more sustainable and equitable forest governance. Specifically, it suggests CSOs use gender analysis tools to understand industry impacts on men and women, and support grassroots communities affected by these changes. This will help ensure the most vulnerable groups are supported and their needs considered in governance processes.
A feminist studies approach to eco-food relations
This document summarizes and discusses a paper on taking a feminist studies approach to examining eco-food relations. It is divided into three parts. Part A addresses how environmental constraints will further disadvantage women in the food system and impact health and well-being. Part B describes a gender-based livelihood and nutrition intervention in Bangladesh to address constraints facing women farmers. Part C discusses advancing approaches to food justice based on critical nutrition studies and feminist perspectives.

1. The document summarizes a study on understanding the gendered dimensions of access to water among small-scale horticultural farmers in Domboshava, Zimbabwe.
2. It found that while women are traditionally recognized as the main users of water, gender relations often limit their access, control, and use of water for irrigation.
3. The study used ethnographic methods like interviews and observations to examine how gender dynamics surrounding access to water have changed since Zimbabwe's land reform, finding variations in access between different socioeconomic classes of women farmers.

This document provides an overview of the relationship between environmental degradation and social integration. It discusses how social factors can influence the environment through changes in population, markets, land tenure systems, and social inequities. Environmental degradation then impacts societies through effects on health, livelihoods, and resources people depend on. Individual and collective responses to environmental changes can transform social structures over time. The document reviews policy approaches to addressing degradation and argues for holistic strategies that consider social and environmental dynamics in specific contexts.
Resilience and adaptive capacity in social-ecological systems: the good, the ...
Social-ecological systems in emerging democracies are often in an untenable state. Under such conditions, building resilience is not appropriate and transformation is the way forward. In this presentation I briefly explain the theoretical underpinnings of resilience and transformation and provide examples of transformative strategies from communal areas in South Africa and Tajikistan to explain.
Reading 1-Sustainability in Theory and Practice
This document discusses sustainability in theory and practice. It begins with definitions of key concepts like globalization and sustainable conservation. Globalization is defined as the extension and intensification of social relations across world space, both ecologically, economically, politically and culturally. Examples of globalization are then given in the ecological, economic, political and cultural spheres. The document poses questions about how to integrate practices across cultures and whether globalization enhances sustainable development or impacts it. It questions if globalization requires greater focus on universal design strategies and if there should be more focus on macro-level over micro-level design.
The 5 themes of geography
The 5 Themes of Geography are location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions. Location refers to absolute and relative positions on Earth. Place examines the physical and human characteristics that make one location different from another, such as climate, landscape, and culture. Human-environment interaction considers how humans adapt to and modify their surroundings through activities like building and pollution. Movement analyzes the patterns of people, products, and information across different transportation networks. Regions looks at how the Earth can be divided into areas with similar political, physical, cultural, or directional characteristics.

Immigrant students with limited formal schooling have assumptions and experiences that are very different from those of their teachers. Our instructional model, the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP) addresses the issues these students encounter by reducing cultural dissonance and transitioning them to formal schooling. We describe the implementation of MALP in community-based adult language and literacy programs and examine how this culturally responsive model encouraged participation, developed a sense of community, and reduced cultural dissonance.
Apps Preso
This document discusses the importance of application connectors in eDiscovery. It notes that electronic documents and data can come from many different sources and applications, but application connectors allow eDiscovery software to connect to and collect data from these various sources. Specifically, it highlights how email, email archives, collaborative tools, laptops/desktops, and file shares are common sources of electronic documents and data, but can be challenging to search without the proper connectors. The document encourages expanding the number of applications and repositories that eDiscovery software can connect to in order to increase sales opportunities.

We describe the implementation of MALP in community-based adult language and literacy programs and examine how this culturally responsive model encouraged participation, developed a sense of community, and reduced cultural dissonance.

This document discusses the importance of application connectors in eDiscovery. It notes that electronic documents and data can come from many different sources and applications, but application connectors allow eDiscovery software to connect to and collect data from these various sources. Specifically, it highlights how email, email archives, collaborative tools, laptops/desktops, and file shares are common sources of electronic documents and data, but can be challenging to search without the proper connectors. The document encourages expanding the number of applications and repositories that eDiscovery software can connect to in order to increase sales opportunities.

IQPC NY Financial Conference on eDiscovery: Legal Speaks Greek and IT Speaks ...
The document discusses challenges with effective e-discovery interactions between legal and IT teams. It notes that legal teams often use too much legal jargon while IT teams use too much technical language, creating communication barriers. IT environments are also very complex with multiple systems, technologies and policies that legal teams may not understand. This can lead to inefficient access to electronically stored information and increased e-discovery costs. The document provides tips for improving interactions, such as developing common vocabularies, bridging knowledge gaps between teams, and quantifying legal risks to collaborate on appropriate solutions.

Lecture: Gender, Agriculture and Climate Change, Jennifer Twyman, CIAT
1. The document discusses how gender affects vulnerability to climate change through differences in roles, resources, and decision-making power between men and women. It provides examples of how climate change impacts women more due to gendered divisions of labor and lack of access to assets.
2. CCAFS aims to empower women and achieve more equitable gender outcomes through gender-specific research and integrating gender in projects. It asks key research questions about how climate change differently impacts men and women and how to design interventions to benefit women.
3. Women's empowerment is defined and operationalized through increased access to and control over resources as well as participation in household and community decision-making. Practical and strategic gender needs are distinguished,
People and forests trajectory
Presentation from IUFRO World congress 2014: People and forests trajectory.
Forestry researchers are taking serious notice of the impacts of forests on people, and people on forests. Encouraging examples include attention to human well-being, attempts to work collaboratively with communities and their subgroups, a focus on power relations (devolution, ethnic and gender studies), and attention to people’s knowledge about forests. More controversial topics like swidden agriculture, human health, nutrition, human rights and population have also been addressed. But much remains to be done.

The document discusses how climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction efforts must incorporate a gender perspective to be effective. It notes that roles and vulnerabilities related to climate change differ between women and men due to socially constructed gender differences. The presentation covers how gender affects climate change impacts, energy use, development, and disasters. It emphasizes that policies and programs and need to recognize women's knowledge and capacities, while also addressing their specific vulnerabilities and priorities. Gender mainstreaming strategies that involve both women and men are key to ensuring equality and effectiveness in climate adaptation and risk reduction.Gender Equality and Social Inclusion In Agroecology

Session 6.1 are women victims, agents, perpetrators of climate change
This document summarizes a presentation on gender and climate change discourses in policy and research. It notes that while gender is gaining attention in climate change policies due to adaptation and vulnerability, the premises for integrating gender are based on weak evidence. It also critiques recent research on gender and agroforestry that tabulates gender-disaggregated data but lacks careful gender analysis. The presentation proposes using feminist political ecology as a conceptual framework and discourse analysis to better understand power relationships around environmental narratives and their social impacts. It highlights issues with simplistic gender stereotypes and instrumental uses of gender in policy that may weaken credibility and reproduce inequalities.

Securing tenure rights among the rural women: priorities for action and research
This document discusses priorities for securing rural women's land tenure rights through action and research. It notes that women's human rights are often violated and their key role in food security and natural resource management is unrecognized. Priorities for advancing women's land rights include understanding rights through information, claiming rights via monitoring and mobilization, and guaranteeing rights with supportive policies and implementation. Challenges include social and cultural norms that discriminate against women and threats to land security that disproportionately affect women. The document outlines recommendations for building capacity, conducting advocacy research, promoting mutual learning between partners, and supporting innovative action plans to further research and action on women's land rights.
Gender in NATURE+
This document discusses focusing on gender in nature-positive agriculture. It notes that climate change and natural resource degradation impact women in particular ways, as women are more vulnerable and may have less access to inputs and services with agricultural intensification. Each work package of the nature-positive framework will address key research questions related to gender to maximize opportunities and minimize negative outcomes for women from new solutions. The approach involves collecting sex-disaggregated data and ensuring women's inclusion in stakeholder engagement, community action planning, and capacity building.

Women paying the health cost of the climate crisis
The impacts of climate change result in both economic and non-economic losses and damages. While economic impacts often receive attention through policy and programming, the non-economic losses remain largely invisible and unaddressed, particularly in climate finance.
The presentation by IIED principal researcher Ritu Bharadwaj, from an online event in March 2024, focuses on the loss and damage faced by women battling drought, debt bondage and migration in Beed, India.
The presentation examines how women are disproportionately affected by climate change, looking at the connections between climate-induced droughts and debt bondage, and significant impacts on women's physical and mental health – leading to drastic health decisions.
It introduces the innovative C-CIQ methodology, which is a comprehensive approach allowing for in-depth assessment of climate change impacts, encompassing not only physical and economic aspects but also the social, cultural and psychological wellbeing of individuals and communities.
The C-CIQ methodology, with its emphasis on simplicity, replicability and clarity, aims to provide a framework for quantifying non-economic loss and damage through composite indices, making it a valuable tool for practitioners and policymakers in diverse contexts.

Adaptability of peri-urban agricultural workers towards resilience
This case study highlights the way that women working in peri-urban agriculture in India have to adapt to changing circumstances in order to sustain themselves and their families.
It was produced by Siddharth Agarwal, Kanupriya Kothiwal, Shabnam Verma and Sampurna Kundu of the Urban Health Resource Centre, India.
Conclusions include agricultural work being one of the major forms of livelihood for peri-urban workers. Many peri-urban workers chose this form of work because they already had the skills from their native rural farms.
Women find agricultural work convenient because of its self-paced nature and because farms are mostly close to where they live. Food security is another benefit, as many women are able to procure vegetables and food grains from their farming work.
Peri-urban women workers are resilient, adapting to an ever-changing peri-urban ecosystem and often pursuing an additional livelihood in seasons when agricultural work is not available. Their strategy of forming links with more than one employer offering different forms of work is key to this resilience.
They are also preparing themselves for a future when farms will be sold to developers and builders, and express anxiety about the uncertainty of sustaining agriculture work in the future.
The adaptability and resilience shown by the workers can be tailored to other situations and promoted among vulnerable urban women workers.

Stitching their trajectories with determination: stories from Indore, India
Many women in Indore work as informal home-based garment workers. This case study demonstrates their commitment to investing in equipment and learning new skills in order to contribute to the family income.
Behind closed doors lies a vast segment of largely invisible women and girls working in India’s flourishing garment industry.
Women working from home account for about 14% of urban employment in India. In low- and middle-income countries, outsourced garment production thrives on account of cheap labour to keep the levels of production high and costs low.
Through pursuing sewing, women can overcome the limitations of little or no education or formal training. Most women stitchers enhance their skills through experience. This helps them get regular and progressively higher paying piece-rate work.

The document summarizes a study on the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on wild meat use and perceptions in communities near the Dja Faunal Reserve in Cameroon. The study found that the pandemic increased difficulties in accessing schools, income, travel, customers, work and food for many communities. It also found that wild meat consumption remained important despite Covid-19 risks. Most respondents disagreed with proposals to close wild meat markets due to livelihood dependencies and a lack of alternatives. The conclusion was that pandemic impacts on livelihoods seemed more concerning than health risks from wild meat, and findings could help policymaking support communities.
Drivers of wild meat consumption steph brittain
Dr. Stephanie Brittain conducted research on the drivers of wild meat consumption in Cameroon through a literature review and fieldwork interviewing 542 people in four villages. Key findings included: 1) availability and affordability are primary drivers of wild meat consumption, while health benefits and culture are secondary; 2) consumption rates varied between villages and demographics; and 3) preferences for wild meat centered on taste and ease of access, while avoidance was due to taste, health, and tradition. The research provided insights into designing alternative food projects that consider local tastes, traditions, and access to markets and resources.

Gender, land and resource rights - Houria Djoudi (CIFOR)
- 1. Workshop on Gender and environmental change IIED 17-18 March 2014 Session 3. Land and resource rights: the forgotten issue in environmental change debates?
- 2. some key messages from CIFOR research 1. We need to unpack environmental and climate change in terms differentiated impacts on institutions and institutional arangement • Example: Climate change induced men migration which result in a significant shifts in institutions and social relations, right and access new challenges and opportunities for the most vulnerable/women: Iklan and Illelan women in northern Mali
- 3. THINKING beyond the canopy History of intervention and policy: Sedentarisation which ignored existing adapted systems based on mobility, flexibility and institutional reciprocity in access and right Drying out of the Lake Faguibine (90ies) Differentiated women’s adaptive capacities Source: Nasa
- 4. 2. History of intervention and policy which ignored existing adapted systems based on mobility, flexibility and institutional reciprocity in access and right and more autonomy for women Adaptation not only to environmental changes but also to negative impacts of past interventions and policies
- 5. 3. We need to document, protect and reinforce the already existing institutional tenure arrangements which advantage equitable gender relations Examle: tree tenure versus land tenure in the Sahel
- 6. Fruits sur l’arbre Fruits récoltés L’espace d’implantation du néré Aînée G. des Epouses Chacune des épouses lignage Chef du lignage ou du ménage PARTIES DU NERE RESPONSABLE DECISIONS MODE GESTION Collectif/Epouses du lignage Individuel/Epouse du ménage Collégial ou non/Chef lignage ou ménage Trees in landscapes (agroforestry parklands) allow equitable gender outcomes, compared to cash crops. Global market (Shea butter) and agriculture policies (cash crops ) are shifting access right
- 7. 4. Women are not passive victims of inequitable land tenure they create social space for negotiation. Women develop their own strategies and mechanism to overcome barriers and limits. We need to understand and reinforce those strategies Examples: – Shift in livestock as an asset to over come access barriers for women – Reciprocity in exchanging assets (human assets to social asset Assets
- 8. 5. Dichotomies in concept and approaches (men/women, state/ communities. Example: Intra community inequities in term of access are crucial too (local authorities, gender, migrants..etc). In terms of access and right addressing contextual local power relations and trajectories of changes (processes) is crucial.
