Agricultural Economics, 2025, vol. 56, issue 3, 446-456

Abstract: This study introduces a new concept and framework called Climate Resilient Development for Agriculture (CRDA) to serve as a roadmap for agricultural transformation in the face of climate change. It also explores how to address gender inequity in agriculture during this transformation process. Unlike Climate Resilient Agriculture (CRA), which focuses solely on adjusting farming practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and maintain agricultural production in the face of climate change, CRDA takes a more comprehensive approach by integrating a development perspective. Its goal is to leverage synergies among actions, programs, and policies to achieve climate change mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable development goals while also addressing climate change induced loss and damage in the agriculture sector. The CRDA framework outlines potential pathways leading to either high or low CRDA futures and emphasizes the importance of gender equity in its structure. Additionally, the study highlights the potential for actions under the CRDA framework to either exacerbate or mitigate gender disparities and proposes five key actions that can contribute to a gender‐inclusive and climate‐resilient future for the agriculture sector.
