Gender dynamics and remittances in the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices in Nepal.

ABSTRACT: Agricultural systems in rural Nepal face significant transformation due to climate change and shifting household labour dynamics. Male out-migration, a key but underexplored driver of this change, disrupts traditional gendered labor divisions and reshapes agricultural decision-making. In smallholder farms, traditionally, men are more responsible for tasks like ploughing and harvesting, whereas women take on planting, weeding, and winnowing roles. In the context of male out-migration, women must take primary responsibility for managing farms and households. However, persistent social and structural inequalities continue to constrain their decision-making authority. The feminisation of agriculture has important implications for adopting sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs). Using survey
