Social inclusion in CSA practices

In the implementing of CSA, it is important to understand the needs, priorities and challenges of
different stakeholders. Gender relations, opportunities, socio-cultural norms, access to resources and power dynamics across social lines may lead women and men to have different knowledge, skills and perspectives. They may also have different opportunities and constraints that may help or hinder the implementation and adoption of CSA. In fact, if implemented without consideration of gender and social inequalities, CSA practices will fail to take advantage of opportunities to improve life’s and may instead increase these inequalities. Generally, without considering social inclusion activities like incorporation of gender, socio-economic status, ethnicity, disability, age, dynamics around perspectives, needs and access to resources in climate-smart agriculture practices designations and applications, the implementation of CSA practices and sustainable agricultural development is unthinkable. So, to save our agriculture by applying the climate-smart agriculture paradigm, we should consider social inclusion in each and every activities of CSA practices. Like, in planning, implementing, monitoring, evaluating and other activities.
