“…In a recent study conducted by Agúndez and colleagues (Agúndez et al 2022) in Niger, the findings showed that women, mainly those who were heads of household, were more willing to adopt climate change adaptation programmes or agroforestry systems than men were. In Uganda, Bourne et al (2015) found that, in male-headed households, both men and women expressed similar preferences for new land uses, whereas female-headed households preferred agroforestry.…”

“…Second, as a consequence of resource degradation, men often opt for seasonal migration as a means to diversify their labour activity, a phenomenon that occurs in countries of the Sahel (Agúndez et al 2022), and is also prevalent across the globe (Kelly 2009;Kiptot and Franzel 2011;Paudel et al 2022). Consequently, this migration A female farmer in Campaka village harvesting coffee.…”

Around the world, the agricultural sector relies heavily on women, especially in developing countries, but women’s restricted access to essential resources, hinders their agricultural productivity, resulting in increased poverty. A promising solution to this is agroforestry, a climate-smart agricultural practice which increases land productivity, providing socioeconomic and ecological benefits. Women’s access to agroforestry, however, is constrained by gender disparities which favour men in terms of access to land, education, extension services, decision-making power, labour and financial resources. It is crucial that these obstacles be dismantled to enable women to participate fully in agroforestry, because they possess valuable knowledge and are often more willing than men to adopt climate change adaptation programmes. Recommendations for mainstreaming gender in agroforestry include collecting gender-disaggregated data, ensuring equal access to resources, promoting gender-inclusive training and education, implementing gender-responsive policies, fostering women's leadership and participation, raising awareness and challenging social norms. Put to action, these recommendations will challenge traditional gender roles and empower women as agents of change, creating an inclusive environment for sustainable agricultural development.

“…Each choice alternative consisted of five attributes: coverage, production requirements, deductible, government copayment option, and insurance premium. The attributes and their levels are partially based on Heikkilä et al (2016), Liesivaara and Myyrä (2014), Civic Consulting (2006), and Asseldonk et al (2006. The levels of the attributes and the attribute combinations (and therefore the products offered) are hypothetical; however, they were all set at realistic ranges, based on the literature of European insurance schemes cited in Sect.…”

“…Increasing the coverage raises the premiums, but it also means a better safety net for farmers. Previous studies concluded that farmers are often not willing to purchase insurance that covers extensive losses (Asseldonk et al 2006). In order to explore preferences for comprehensive insurance, in particular that which also offers coverage against potential catastrophic emerging plant pests and diseases, we identified three incremental levels of coverage (Table 1).…”

Plant pest and disease outbreaks, which occur with increasing frequency and intensity, cause catastrophic losses and threaten food security in many areas around the world. These impacts are expected to be exacerbated by climate change. Tackling this challenge requires mechanisms that ensure the financial security of farmers while incentivizing private biosecurity efforts to prevent future outbreaks. This study explored crop producers’ preferences for a subsidized insurance scheme as an instrument to manage novel biotic risks. Specifically, we developed a choice experiment to evaluate Spanish growers’ willingness to pay for a crop insurance product that promotes compliance with best biosecurity management practices. Our results show that while growers are willing to pay more for high coverage products that increase the resilience of crops to potential catastrophic outbreaks, there is neither a strong demand nor widespread availability of such tools. Farmers required reductions in premiums before undertaking risk prevention measures; they are more willing to pay for schemes that link their eligibility to access to ad hoc funds in the eventuality of a catastrophic outbreak than they are to purchase insurance. Our findings also suggest that Spanish growers prefer expanding the eligible risks covered by insurance and envisage a role for insurance in offering biosecurity protection.
