s:948:"TI Understanding landscape restoration options in Kenya: Risks and opportunities for advancing gender equality AU Paez Valencia, A.M. AU Crossland, M. AB Key messagesAgricultural technologies for land restoration present both opportunities and risks for women’s empowerment.Activities such as digging planting basins can increase women’s autonomy to carry out farming activities that usually require male assistance, however they take additional time and labor.Planting fruit trees brings benefits for both men and women farmers, without significant issues relating to labor or timing, however water availability is a constraining factor.To ensure restoration efforts advance gender equality rather than perpetuate existing inequalities, projects need to assess these potential synergies and trade-offs, involving both men and women in the design of project activities so as to meet their needs and ensure that benefits outweigh costs.
