Abstract

Sustainable carbon farming has become an important tool to fight climate change and improve soil health supporting ecosystem resilience. But there has been little research on the intersection of carbon farming policies and gender equality. The review consolidates interdisciplinary knowledge about the effects of sustainable carbon farming activities with respect to, and as an influence on, gender relations, especially in rural and agrarian communities. Basing on more than twenty academic papers from environmental science, gender studies and agricultural economy, the paper constructs a dual-framework analysis-ecological sustainability and gender inclusion-to examine synergies and tensions within the implementation of gender equitable carbon farming policies. The results indicate a significant deficit in the equity of participation, benefits and roles provided for women, who are nevertheless predominantly involved in managing land. The study ends with policy recommendations for the mainstreaming of gender in carbon farming programs: the importance of participation, capacity development, and just access to climate finance
