Description	The study aimed to understand the gender differences in access to and use of climate-smart adaptation practices among bean-producing farmers in the Dedza District, Malawi. The scope of the study covered 246 households across 14 villages, focusing on how men, women, and youth adopt climate-smart agricultural (CSA) technologies. It addressed the challenges farmers face, the CSA interventions implemented, and how these practices are linked to food and income security. Principal Investigators aimed to answer questions about the influence of socio-demographic, farm-level, and institutional factors on CSA adoption Methodology: The study utilized a quantitative approach with data collected through structured questionnaires administered to 246 randomly sampled households across 14 villages in Dedza District, Malawi. The survey covered socio-demographic characteristics, land access, bean production practices, and constraints, as well as access to information and markets. Data were analyzed using the multivariate probit model, which examined the influence of various factors on simultaneous adoption of CSA practices. (2024-10)

Unit of Analysis	Individual
Universe	The study population comprised smallholder bean farmers in the Linthipe Extension Planning Area of Dedza District, Malawi. It included both male and female farmers, along with youth, and focused on analyzing their socio-demographic characteristics, land access, and adoption of CSA technologies within the context of climate adaptation and food security
Type of Research Instrument	The study used a semi-structured questionnaire, asking the same set of questions to all respondents. The data collected included quantitative information on socio-demographic characteristics, CSA practices, land access, production challenges, and access to information and markets. It also incorporated open-ended questions to gather insights into gender-specific barriers to CSA adoption and joint decision-making in householdsThe study used a semi-structured questionnaire, asking the same set of questions to all respondents.
