    Visit the ITPGRFA internet site . Improving food security and the livelihoods of the Zambezi-Gwembe valley resource-poor farmers and farming communities is the objective of this BSF project. This ultimate objective is being accomplished through the sustainable management and conservation of sorghum, pearl millet, cowpea, beans, sweet potato and cassava, which are crucial for the dietary needs and livelihoods of local communities and the devel opment of new improved and locally adapted crop varieties.

    Southern Africa is one of the regions highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Mozambique is one of the least developing countries in the region experiencing this devastating effect on the agricultural livelihood of its rural population. Climate change will have a significant impact on the Limpopo River Basin and its tributaries which flow across the vast areas of the semi-arid plateau of the southern provinces of Mozambique where the United Nations Joint Programme (UNJP) on Environme ntal Mainstreaming and Adaptation to Climate Change is operating. This publication documents the experiences, successes and challenges being faced in implementing the adaptation interventions in one of the remote districts where very few development agencies are operating. It identifies, at farm and community level, adaptive interventions that have been tested and applied and which have shown positive impact on productivity, broadened livelihoods basis, and improved resilience to climate change in the face of current and future climate-related stresses.

    Remotely sensed information for crop monitoring and food security – Techniques and methods for arid and semi-arid areas
    E-learning fact sheet
    2020
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This fact sheet describes the course that describes how the information derived from remote sensing is obtained and best used for crop monitoring in a food security context. It outlines what the exact meanings of the products are and shows how their early warning and food availability information contents can be combined efficiently with other sources (e.g. households surveys, market analyses, nutritional surveys, etc.).
