WOMEN
ON THE FRONTLINE OF CLIMATE CHANGE Women in rural Africa are on the frontline of the fight to combat changing climate. As the producers of much of the food grown on small farms, Africa’s women farmers are locked in a struggle to provide for their families in the face of drier, hotter and more unpredictable weather conditions.
But Africa’s women are resourceful, and are employing methods that allow them to mitigate the effects of global heating.
Although they are the people being hit hardest – despite being least responsible for this crisis – women farmers are evolving, adapting and changing the way that they farm – and ensuring that there is a future for food production in Africa.
