🌾 On the #InternationalDayofRuralWomen, how can we expand women farmers’ access to finance and strengthen climate resilience? In India, women make up about a third of the agricultural labor force but own only 11% of farmland and receive just 5% of agricultural credit. With support from @climatefinlab and @climatepolicy, an IFPRI and Dvara E-Registry collaboration is developing SCALE, an approach combining credit, insurance, advisory services, and incentives for climate-smart farming: on.cgiar.org/4zzYHw2 @dvaraholdings @CGIAR @IFPRISAO #YearoftheWomanFarmer

We are excited to start the incubation process with the Lab and collaborate with partners across the climate finance ecosystem. Read more here: on.cgiar.org/4rsQKnH @CGIAR @BerberKramer @ruthvargashill @dvaraeregistry @climatefinlab #ClimateFinance #Lab2026

🌾 🌏 In the paddy fields of Odisha, India, many farmers cultivate land they do not own—and without land titles, they cannot use their fields as collateral for formal credit. 🛰️ Against this backdrop, the idea that the collateral requirements could be bypassed using satellite images—allowing financial institutions to assess creditworthiness by verifying what farmers grow instead of what they own—offered a potentially transformative solution. 🔗 Learn more in this recent blog by @BerberKramer and Shalini Roy: on.cgiar.org/3YaboNu @CGIAR @CGIARScaling

How do men and women cope with weather-related agricultural production risk? Studies show that the consequences of risk are often not distributed equitably within a household, with women disproportionately bearing the negative impacts of weather-related shocks: on.cgiar.org/3B6UW8u @CGIAR @shamyuktha @BerberKramer

Climate change is increasing the frequency of adverse weather events and reducing agricultural productivity, particularly in warmer regions of the world. Gender plays a role in how farmers are exposed to and manage weather risks. 🆕 blog by Samyuktha Kannan and @BerberKramer: on.cgiar.org/3B6UW8u @CGIAR
