Recognizing the vital role of digital support in modern agriculture, particularly in the face of climate change, this module equips both facilitators and farmers with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilize these technologies. Participants will explore a range of digital tools, from sensors and precision agriculture technologies to mobile applications and online platforms, understanding their potential to enhance CS-FFS activities and promote climate-smart agriculture in Jordan. The module emphasizes the practical application of these tools for tasks like problem diagnosis, information access, communication, and monitoring, while also addressing potential challenges and barriers to adoption. By fostering digital literacy and encouraging the use of technology, this module empowers farmers to make informed decisions, improve their farming practices, and build resilience in a changing climate. Ultimately, it contributes to the overarching goal of the curriculum: to promote sustainable agriculture and enhance food security in Jordan. -

No results found.In recent years, Eswatini has suffered from El Niño, adevastating AIDS pandemic, economic slowdown and soaring prices of food and agricultural inputs. Despitebeing ranked as a lower middle-income country, it has experienced a stalling of economic growth, leading togreater food insecurity and poverty. Women and youth sare generally the most vulnerable population group, and there are a growing number of households headed solely by women and children, with more men seeking employment away from home and as a direct result of HIV/AIDS. The agricultural sector has been affected by erratic rainfall and climate change. Changes in weatherpatterns have had an adverse effect on food production, resulting in insufficient production for domestic consumption. Additionally, reduced access to food markets and a lack of value addition to agricultural processes has compounded concerns relating to food and income security. -
Book (stand-alone)Evaluating the impacts of promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in Malawi
Baseline analysis and programmatic implications of a Farmer Field School approach
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project “Promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in sub-Saharan Africa (Malawi)” aims to support poor and vulnerable households to strengthen their resilience to climate change and climate variability through social protection (SP) and the adoption of proven climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices blended with disaster risk reduction (DRR). FAO Malawi leads the implementation of the project in two targeted districts of Mwanza and Neno, targeting 2 400 farmers, some of them being beneficiaries of existing SP programmes. At community level, the project is implemented through the farmer field school (FFS) approach and delivered through 80 FFS groups located in 74 villages.To evaluate impacts of the project, we use a crossover design to compare the relative merits of its different components and combine various evaluation methods. This is a baseline report on the “Promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in sub-Saharan Africa (Malawi)” project.
