Book (stand-alone)An Assessment of the Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture and Food Security in the Pacific - A Case Study in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
MIssion report
2008Also available in:
No results found.The development of subsistence agriculture is a key strategy for supporting the growing population of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. However, this approach is likely to be affected by climate change. Other factors, such as urbanization and a shift away from traditional food to imported items, are also having an impact. The atoll geography of RMI and narrow resource base further limits the options available. Population growth is reducing the land available for agriculture and other human a ctivities are affecting the coastal and marine environments. Early action is needed to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change. This will be a long-term effort by RMI and its partners at the community, regional and international level. -

DocumentDeveloping capacities on climate change impact assessment in agriculture in a perspective of decision-making support at national level: case study 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The national production of essential crops such as cereals is highly exposed to climatic risks since they are mainly produced in arid and semi-arid lands, characterized by limited soil and water resources to satisfy crop growth requirements. Given the high economic weight of agriculture on the Moroccan economy (15 to 20% of NGP and 40% employment), any eventual temporal or seasonal variation of the climate will immediately effect national economy and food security. Quantitative analyses are key to understand the processes at stake and formulate adapted measures.
