Book (series)Climate-smart policies to enhance Egypt's agrifood system performance and sustainability 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, heat waves in Egypt are increasingly severe and frequent, raising the already high evaporation rate, accelerating crop transpiration, increasing soil aridity and elevating water requirements for both human and agricultural consumption in a country where water is imported. The forecasted spike in rainfall variability will affect flow of the Nile River, increasing both drought and high-flow years. While Egypt must produce more food for its rapidly growing population and confront high levels of child malnutrition, agricultural performance is slowing due to inefficient use of land, labour, water and energy along with environmental degradation and limited access to new technology, all of which favour increased incidence of pests and disease. Having tested climate smart agriculture (CSA) in four of Egypt’s most significant value chains – dairy, dates, maize and wheat – the authors demonstrate that CSA practices, technologies and policies will increase agricultural productivity and incomes, strengthen resilience to climate change and improve mitigation of its effects. These important, evidence-based findings have bearing well beyond Egypt’s borders. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme. -
Book (stand-alone)Climate-smart agriculture case studies 2021
Projects from around the world
2021Also available in:
No results found.This publication describes climate-smart agriculture (CSA) case studies from around the world, showing how the approach is implemented to address challenges related to climate change and agriculture. The case studies operationalize the five action points for CSA implementation: expanding the evidence base for CSA, supporting enabling policy frameworks, strengthening national and local institutions, enhancing funding and financing options, and implementing CSA practices at field level. The publication provides examples of the innovative roles that farmers, researchers, government officials, private sector agents and civil society actors can play to transform food systems and help meet the Sustainable Development Goals; it also demonstrates how these actors can collaborate. The case studies discuss context-specific activities that sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes, adapt and build resilience of people and food systems to climate change, and reduce and/or remove greenhouse gas emissions where possible. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPromoting climate-smart agriculture and agricultural biodiversity for enhancing the adaptive capacity of vulnerable rural communities in Upper and Lower Egypt 2025
Also available in:
No results found."Promoting climate smart agriculture and agricultural biodiversity for enhancing the adaptive capacity of vulnerable rural communities in Upper and Lower Egypt" is a project that aims at helping the poor and vulnerable rural populations in Egypt’s Old and New Lands adapt to climate change by implementing nature-based and climate-resilient techniques. It ensures that no one dependent on agriculture for their livelihood is left behind, including landless, unemployed, underemployed, or seasonal rural women and youth. The project will reduce climate-induced food insecurity and improve livelihoods through community-based approaches, enhancing biodiversity and aligning with the principles of the water-energy-food nexus.
