Where women in agri-food systems are at highest climate risk: A methodology for mapping climate-agriculture-gender inequality hotspots
Climate change poses a greater threat for more exposed and vulnerable countries, communities and social groups.
Mali is home to 22 million people, 12 million of whom live in rural areas and work mostly in agriculture.
The evidence on the potential for agricultural interventions to contribute to improved nutrition has grown considerably over the past decade.
Individual farmer investments have the potential to fill the gap in public investments and be more cost-effective than large-scale irrigation. However, this development primarily occurs outside of formal systems.
Farmers, entrepreneurs, and businesses are already leading the way by expanding irrigation in response to climate variability and the growing demand for vegetables and fruit through supplemental and dry-season irrigated production.
Agricultural development projects increasingly aim to improve health and nutrition outcomes, often by engaging women.
