Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetAssessing agroforestry practices and soil and water conservation for climate change adaptation in Kenya: A cost-benefit analysis
Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through National Adaptation Plans
2020Also available in:
No results found.This case study analyses the economic worthiness of adaptation measures currently being practiced by some farmers on their land in Kenya. It uses cost-benefit analysis (CBA), which is recommended by the Least Developed Countries Expert Group as one of the methodologies to be used in the preparatory stages of the NAPs to rank and prioritize adaptation options according to their costs and benefits to society. The study’s findings can inform policy makers and development practitioners involved in formulating and implementing the NAP process. The study was carried out under the Integrating Agricultural Sectors into National Adaptation Plans programme (NAP-Ag), co-led by UNDP and FAO, with the aim of capacity building, generating evidence-based results for selecting adaptation options, and informing adaptation policy dialogues on adaptation in agriculture. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetConservation agriculture for climate change adaptation in Zambia: A cost-benefit analysis
Integrating agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Programme (NAP- Ag). Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through National Adaptation Plans
2020Also available in:
No results found.This case study reports the results of a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) applied to the Conservation Agriculture Scaling-up Project (CASU) which promoted conservation agriculture for climate change adaptation in Zambia. The study also reports an econometric analysis conducted to determine the barriers to adoption of the promoted sustainable farm management practices and to estimate the impact of factors which may facilitate adoption. This study was carried out under the Integrating Agricultural Sectors into National Adaptation Plans programme (NAP-Ag) with the aim of generating empirical evidence about adaptation options in agriculture and to inform adaptation policy dialogues in Zambia. These findings can inform policy makers and development practitioners working to promote conseravtion agriculture measures for climate change adaptation in the context of national adaptation planning processes. -
Book (stand-alone)Adaptation to Climate Change in Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries: Perspective, Framework and Priorities 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change adaptation requires the use of good agricultural, forestry and fisheries practices to meet changing and more difficult environmental conditions. To make sure appropriate information is shared and put into practice, FAO works to build capacities at the national, local and community levels to raise awareness and prepare for climate change impacts. At the government level, the goal is to mainstream climate change strategies and actions in agricultural policies and programmes to reduc e vulnerability and provide local communities with site-specific solutions. FAO'S INTERDEPARTMENTAL WORKING GROUP ON CLIMATE CHANGE sets the context for interdisciplinary technical and policy expertise. Ongoing activities with rural communities and research institutions provides practical information to countries through: global data sets and assessing scientific evidence; analytical tools and models; crop forecasting and impact monitoring; information dissemination on climate change-related ris ks; providing a neutral forum for best practices, negotiations and technical discussions.
