The article explores how different land ownership systems affect women's investment in agroforestry in sub-Saharan Africa. The researchers studied female tea farmers in Malawi and found that women who inherited or bought land were less likely to invest in agroforestry. However, married women who purchased land were more likely to invest in agroforestry to secure their rights. Understanding the relationship between gendered land ownership and agroforestry can help improve land security, conservation efforts, and empower women.
