    JEFF: As Kenya looks inward in its pursuit of self-reliance, a growing chorus of stakeholders is championing climate-smart agriculture as a shield against intensifying climate shocks. Yet, even as this transition gathers pace, a stark inequality persists, with women, who form the backbone of small-scale farming, remaining largely sidelined. OLIVE: The latest economic survey reveals that just 12 percent of women own land in Kenya, underscoring a deep-rooted imbalance in access and control of resources. But across the country, a quiet revolution is taking root. From parched fields to thriving green patches, women are defying the odds, reclaiming space, nurturing innovation, and cultivating resilience.
