Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureClimate smart farmer field school catalogue: drip irrigation 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The climate smart farmer field school (FFS) initiative for smallholder farmers in Jordan has been launched under the project Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan Through Improving Water Use Efficiency in the Agriculture Sector (BRCCJ). A suite of climate smart FFS training materials has been developed for different crops, cropping systems, and climate smart agriculture technologies. The curriculum has 6 modules, namely, Module 1 Climate Smart Integrated Homestead Gardening, Module 2 Climate Smart Hydroponic Leafy Vegetable Production, Module 3 Climate Smart Integrated Fruit Orchards, Module 4 Climate Smart High Value Vegetables Agribusiness, Module 5 Climate Smart Rainfed Wheat and Barley, and Module 6 Climate Smart Livestock Fodder Bank. In support of the modules, catalogues for climate smart agriculture technology have been developed to aid facilitators and farmer learning.The publication "Climate-smart farmer field school catalogue: drip irrigation" explores the potential of drip irrigation as a sustainable planting technology to combat climate change and enhance agriculture resilience, particularly in arid and water-scarce regions like Jordan. -

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookDigital excellence in agriculture report
FAO-ITU Regional contest on good practices advancing digital agriculture in Europe and Central Asia
2023This report is the outcome of the Digital Excellence in Agriculture: FAO-ITU regional contest on good practices advancing digital agriculture in Europe and Central Asia, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Office for Europe and Central Asia and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Offices for Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Launched in November 2020, the contest sought to identify, showcase and celebrate good practices and innovative solutions that have proven successful in advancing the digital transformation of agriculture in the regions. With nearly 200 applicants from 36 countries in the regions, the initiative revealed a diverse, dynamic and future-thinking ecosystem of innovators and problem-solvers. This report summarizes the main trends in digital services and products, the most important technologies used, as well as the difficulties and challenges that arise in the development of digital agricultural applications. Presenting the 29 finalists, the report shares the key challenges applicants are addressing, the digital technologies they are using to succeed, their journeys and their plans for the near future based on the information provided. The report also analyses how the technology infrastructure, the regulatory and business environment, the availability of human capital, and the COVID-19 pandemic represented both challenges and opportunities for digital agriculture practitioners. It provides useful information for developers and service providers already active in this field or planning to enter it, as well as guidance for decision-makers on possible points of intervention. -

In support of the modules, catalogues for climate smart agriculture technology have been developed to aid facilitators and farmer learning.In this module, several essential water-smart technologies that are instrumental in establishing and managing successful IHG in the project areas in Jordan have been introduced, including the following technologies: Sub-surface deep root irrigation system, Wicking beds, Cocoons, Plantable gabions, Smart irrigation technology, Treated greywater for fruit trees, Hydroponics for household (HH) level vegetable production, hydroponics for HH level fodder production (Azolla).By promoting sustainable food production and enhancing climate resilience, IHG offers a promising pathway towards adapting to climate change and water scarcity while achieving food security, livelihood improvements, and environmental sustainability in Jordan's agriculture sector.” -
Book (series)Technical studyClimate-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.
