ProjectSupporting the Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture through Social Protection and Agricultural Interventions - GCP/GLO/480/IRE 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Adopting climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices is a crucial measure that farmers can take to protect their livelihoods and production systems from the harmful effects of climate change; however, financial constraints often limit their ability to adopt these practices. Under a pilot project (FMM/GLO/148/MUL), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) implemented an approach that connected social protection measures with Farmer Field Schools (FFS) in the Mwanza and Neno districts of Malawi. The pilot approach divided FFS participants into three groups: one that received FFS training and a cash transfer, one that received FFS training and agricultural inputs, and one that only benefited from the FFS training. This project was subsequently formulated to measure the impact of these interventions on the adoption of CSA practices among the three groups through an Impact Evaluation (IE). -
ProjectSupport for Development of Sustainable Value Chains for Climate-Smart Agriculture - TCP/KYR/3804 2024

No results found.The fragmented nature of agricultural value chains (VCs) in Kyrgyzstan prevents most producers from increasing farm-level productivity and expanding export potential. Other important factors behind the vulnerability of the agricultural sector are the country`s exposure to climate change, a lack of water resources and an inadequate use of the water resources that exist. These challenges are exacerbated by poor agricultural practices, with their potential to aggravate food insecurity by further decreasing overall agricultural productivity. This is especially felt by low-income smallholder families in rural communities, who depend on agricultural resources to sustain their livelihoods and whose resilience to climate change is low. Overall, underdeveloped agricultural VCs impede industrial growth and limit export potential. -
