dc.description.abstractWomen make up more than 40% of the agricultural workforce and are often open to adopting new ideas. A project in the villages of Campierganj (Uttar Pradesh in northern India), has demonstrated how training women in climate-smart agriculture can develop women farmers’ skills effectively; make the agriculture sector more climate-resilient, with more reliable yields; improve income for women; develop women’s personal confidence, and improve women’s standing in the community. This region has among the highest child marriage rates and the lowest participation of women in the workforce in the country. The project was carried out by the Gorakhpur Environmental Action Group (GEAG).en
