ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an ecofeminist argument for implementation of the United Nations climate adaptation funds to support the needs of women subsistence farmers in the Global South. It begins with neo-Marxist arguments that most pressing in feminism are the needs of women in the Global South. The chapter explains climate change (CC) and assesses its impacts using the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on CC. It outlines growing crises in agriculture and food security in Africa, followed by a case study presenting the research on women's farming in Ghana to address women's needs. The chapter suggests that United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) implementation of Adaptation Funds has the potential to realign global economics from capital to care by internalizing the difference between cash cropping and subsistence farming. Finally, it concludes that women subsistence agriculturalists practice logics of care irreducible to the logic of domination of global capital.
