| dc.description.abstract | Women in refugee camps face many challenges. They have limited access to quality education, healthcare, economic opportunities, and decision-making powers in their households. Scarce resources and food insecurity are intricately linked with the conventional responsibilities of the women. Empowering women in refugee camps to participate in sustainable agricultural production contributes to food security and place of the woman in the society.
This study explores food security and sustainable agricultural practices at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. The research explores the challenges faced by refugee women in securing food resources and highlights the transformative potential of sustainable agriculture in enhancing food security and empowering the women. The key findings highlight the critical role of sustainable agricultural initiatives, such as climate-smart farming methods and integrated farming systems, in improving the availability, accessibility, and utilization of food.
The study reveals the importance of community-driven strategies and gender-transformative approaches in promoting inclusive and resilient food systems. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the intersection between gender, agency, and sustainable agriculture in refugee camp, offering insights that may inform the policymaking and programmatic efforts of humanitarian organizations and local communities to address the challenges of food insecurity. | |
