    This practice was tested in the project “Enhanced Climate Change Adaptation Capacity of Communities in Contiguous Fragile Ecosystems in the Cordilleras” (2009 – 2011) between august 2010 and december 2011. Through the active participation and involvement of local stakeholders and end-users in both training and field demonstration activities, the project identified forest enrichment as a location-specific and appropriate option for climate change adaptation. The GPO was tested in the municipalities of Kiangan and Banaue located in the Province of Ifugao, Philippines during the wet / dry seasons of 2010 and 2011.

    Pro-Resilient Fiji – Strengthening climate resilience of communities for food and nutrition security 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Fiji experiences prolonged dry spells quite often, usually for three to four months duration, when the north-western parts of the main islands receive little or no rain which adversely impact agriculture. The overall objective of the FAO Pro-Resilient Fiji project is to structurally and sustainably reduce food insecurity and nutrition deterioration from climate change-induced disasters by tackling the root and underlying causes of vulnerability. The project foresees to improve climate risk identification, disaster management capacities and ensure the adoption of climate-smart and nutritionsensitive agricultural techniques. CSA is defined by FAO as agriculture that sustainably increases productivity, enhances resilience through adaptation; reduces GHGs through mitigation where possible, and enhances achievement of national food security and development goals.
