On the Way of Resilience With the Baobabs / Sur Le Chemin de la Résilience Avec Les Baobabs
The story’s setting is a village in the Menabe region of central-western Madagascar. Affectionately called “the Land of Baobabs”, it is also unfortunately the land of slash-and-burn agriculture. Tahina, an agronomist and forester, believes firmly that soil is the core ingredient of a resilient and sustainable relationship between the local communities and their landscape. He journeys to meet his friend Bendray, a farmer-ranger and together they launch an initiative called “Taniala Regenerative Camp”. This initiative contributes to the regeneration of soils and ecosystems through permaculture design, agroecology, agroforestry and ecological restoration.

Impact of Climate Change in Agriculture
Climate Change is a global issue today. Among different sectors being affected by climate change, Agriculture is the prominent field affected by a change in climate in Nepal. Furthermore, Nepal is one of the fourth most vulnerable countries hit by climate change. In such a scenario, it is obvious that climate change has adversely affected Agriculture Sector. So for this, a developing country like Nepal need to adapt Conservation Agriculture Practices over the traditional method of farming that can cope with change in climate by taking the perspective of women towards Agriculture. Why women?? It's because more than 50% of farmers are female, they are the backbone of development of Agriculture Sector. So, it's high time we need to raise the voice of women towards nature by involving them in Conservation Agriculture Practices. There is no Climate Justice until and unless there is no Gender Justice.

Caste and Climate Change
Caste-based discrimination affects more than 260 million Dalits worldwide who suffer from the hidden apartheid of segregation, exclusion and discrimination. Dalit women and girls are the most discriminated, systematically excluded and historically oppressed group in the sub-continent. Dalit women lag behind in most of the areas of human development indicators. Unequal access to resources and opportunities makes Dalit Women more socially vulnerable and frequently exposes them to the chance of being a victim to caste, class and gender-based violence. A woman’s caste in South Asia can increase her exposure to mortality as a result of factors such as poor sanitation and inadequate water supply and health care, says a report by the UN Women. It states that the average age of death for Dalit women is 14.6 years younger than for higher caste women. This story depicts how the historic, institutionalized and systemic oppression of Dalit women from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal will make them one of the most vulnerable, susceptible and high-risk targets in the changing climate.
