As temperatures rise, extreme weather events become more frequent, and traditional farming practices are disrupted, women are disproportionately affected. They often bear the brunt of climate-induced challenges, from water scarcity to shifting crop patterns. However, women are also powerful agents of change and resilience in the face of these challenges. When given access to resources, education, and decision-making power, they can contribute significantly to sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture. Recognizing the pivotal role of women in agriculture and empowering them through inclusive policies and programs is essential to mitigating the impacts of climate change and fostering a more equitable and sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Tag<\/strong>: GS Paper-2: Issues related to women;
