The analysis considers gender differences in knowledge, sources of information and intra-household dynamics related to adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) and other adaptive practices. This paper presents results from a baseline survey of intra-household aspects of farming households conducted in Tuma La Dalia during September and October 2015 and from CSA monitoring survey conducted in the same site during 2018.
The results of this paper analyze the socio-economic factors motivating and constraining adoption of practices.
