ProjectHelping Farmers and Vulnerable Communities to Adapt to Climate Change and Strengthen their Food Security - GCP/GLO/407/EC 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Crop genetic resources contain the essential building blocks that are critical to food security. Their availability is a fundamental requirement for achieving further productivity increases and higher nutritional values through plant breeding. The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) is a global agreement in which 148 Member nations and the European Union advance the multilateral agenda for addressing the interlinked challenges of crop diversity preservation, global food security and climate change adaptation. The present project, signed with the European Union, centred on support for the third funding cycle of the Benefit sharing Fund (BSF 3), whose portfolio consisted of 22 approved projects targeting 45 developing countries. The BSF 3 projects focus on helping local communities to adapt to climate change and contribute to food security. BSF 3 featured two thematic Windows: Window 2 projects supported activities ensuring that local crop varieties of importance for food security are preserved, reintroduced, developed and maintained in farmers’ fields through on farm conservation, while Window 3 projects focused on the development and exchange of value added information on plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) through scientific research and studies. -

Policy recommendations for addressing climate change and food security vulnerability
2020Also available in:
No results found.This document summarizes the main achievements of the project AMICAF-Paraguay, relevant for policymakers, and formulates specific policy recommendations in the main fields covered by the project: adaptation to climate change in agriculture, water resources and economy, as well as data collection, national programs and research. Main recommendations are the following: - Dedicate necessary resources among the different ministries/institutions to update the basic data collection in the field and collect new data. - Build capacity and ensure the resources to strengthen the institutional and technical competences for water management. - Strengthen the national programs and plans such as National Plan for the Disaster Risk Management and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Agricultural Sector of Paraguay to support small-scale family agriculture and rural extension offices. - Reinforce and build synergies among Universities, research centers and government organizations in order to implement lines of research that could include all dimensions of food security and promote adaptation to local conditions and climate change. In addition to the results of the analysis and assessment, a main achievement of the project was the enhanced capacity of public institutions to analyze and address climate change impacts. Those institutions include the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Meteorological and Hydrological Division, the Environmental Secretariat, the Secretariat of Technical Planning, the Paraguayan Institute of Agrarian Technology, the National Forest Institute, the Faculty of Agrarian Science of the Asuncion National University, and the Faculty of Agrarian Science of the Catholic University. -
