Synopsis (short abstract) The booklet presents a methodology developed by the activities of the projects “Strengthening Agro-climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in Lao People's Democratic Republic” and “Sustainable Productivity in agriculture in the context of Climate Smart Agriculture and Agro-ecology”. This handbook aims at providing guidance and resource to implement foresight planning at the village level by presenting a full exercise to be conducted at the field level. The exercise is divided in five steps and should allow to visualise possible futures in 2030. The exercise is designed as an added section to the Participatory Forest and Agricultural Land Use Planning, Allocation and Management (pFALUPAM) manual. This document provides the supplementary materials such as tables, figures, and the pFALUPAM village plan and land use maps for Keosaenkham village that are to be used as example in the real case pFALUPAM exercises.

Foresight is the ability to predict or the action of predicting what will happen or be needed in the future. The method Participatory Forest and Agriculture Land Use Planning, Allocation and Management (pFALUPAM) is used in Lao People’s Democratic Republic since 2012 for village level agricultural planning. The leaflet describes the insertion of foresight planning into the pFALUPAM method. The aim of this addition is to test the robustness of the village plan and to improve or provide more detail to build resilient and sustainable action plan based on agro-ecological zoning maps and locally adapted contextual scenarios.

Agricultural production in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has been unable to meet the demandfor food since the 1990s as a result of recurrent naturaldisasters such as floods and droughts. The prevalenceof food inadequacy remains at 57 percent and the depthof the food deficit is estimated to be from 341 to344 kcal/capita/day. Attempts to increase foodproduction have led to the large-scale deforestation ofhill slopes and their conversion into agricultural land withno control of crop choices, cultivation methods or slopegradients. The accelerated degradation of forestlandscapes has caused damage to soil fertility and cropproduction in fertile valleys and the gradual loss ofproductive lowlands.The project aimed to restore degraded forestland andimprove land management by providing amultidisciplinary approach to the developed integration ofagriculture and forestry in food production and bymitigating the impact of climate change impacts throughthe introduction of conservation and climate-adaptiveagriculture on mountain slopes and valleys. The projectalso provided farming inputs, such as greenhouses,tractors, seeds, seedlings and other planting materialsfor the establishment of agroforestry and the expansionof intercropping and conservation agriculture.
