Cross-country analysis reveals mixed impacts of women's farm decision-making on climate-smart agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the role of local social contexts.

Key Points

Women's farm decision-making significantly increases climate-smart agriculture adoption in Malawi, but female involvement yields marginal or negative impacts in other nations.
An endogenous-switching poisson regression model across 4 countries reveals that intra-household gender dynamics directly shape the adaptive capacities of smallholder farmers.
Context-specific policies prioritizing rural women and youth can accelerate climate-smart agriculture adoption while supporting broader sustainable development goals.
