Overview

Analysis reveals gender gap in risk preferences among farmers, indicating education access can enhance equitable adoption of climate-smart practices.

Key Points

  • Significant gender differences affect the adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies, impacting climate change resilience.
  • Analysis of longitudinal survey data shows that female farmers are generally more risk-averse than male farmers in rural areas.
  • Interactive fixed effect model and quantile regressions reveal key drivers contributing to the gender gap in risk-taking behaviors.
  • Improving access to education is crucial for reducing gender disparities and promoting widespread adoption of climate-smart practices.
