Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetConservation agriculture for climate change adaptation in Zambia: A cost-benefit analysis
Integrating agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Programme (NAP- Ag). Safeguarding livelihoods and promoting resilience through National Adaptation Plans
2020Also available in:
No results found.This case study reports the results of a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) applied to the Conservation Agriculture Scaling-up Project (CASU) which promoted conservation agriculture for climate change adaptation in Zambia. The study also reports an econometric analysis conducted to determine the barriers to adoption of the promoted sustainable farm management practices and to estimate the impact of factors which may facilitate adoption. This study was carried out under the Integrating Agricultural Sectors into National Adaptation Plans programme (NAP-Ag) with the aim of generating empirical evidence about adaptation options in agriculture and to inform adaptation policy dialogues in Zambia. These findings can inform policy makers and development practitioners working to promote conseravtion agriculture measures for climate change adaptation in the context of national adaptation planning processes. -
Book (stand-alone)Planning, implementing and evaluating Climate-Smart Agriculture in Smallholder Farming Systems 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The pilot projects of the Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programme of FAO in Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania have integrated climate-smart agriculture (CSA) into development programmes. The objective of the pilot projects was to show that smallholder farmers can improve their livelihoods and increase their productivity and contribute to climate change mitigation at the same time. The approach was to develop portfolios of climate-smart agricultural practices based o n participatory consultations and expert assessments, implement the selected practices using a variety of extension methods and evaluate their effects on yield, food security and their potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on farms and throughout the landscape. Farmers who participated in the MICCA pilot projects reported that the main benefits of CSA were higher yields, greater farm income and increased food availability. This is an indication that smallholder farmers can be an eff ective part of the response to climate change and make a meaningful contribution to reducing GHG emissions. Bringing sound, up-to-date evidence into decision-making processes can help shape policies, plans and programmes that support CSA. -
