Synopsis (short abstract) The increasing complexity of shocks (global, economic and political crises, calamities and disasters, and threats of climate change among others), and the limited, if not depleting capacities among poor and vulnerable segments of the population to assessment that can be used as basis for better design and implementation of policies and programs to mitigate and cushion the negative impacts of these shocks.

    The Assessments of Climate Change Impacts and Mapping of Vulnerability to Food Insecurity under Climate Change to Strengthen Household Food Security with Livelihoods’ Adaptation Approaches (AMICAF) is a project supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that aims to assist developing countries in climate change assessment and adaptation to improve food security. The AMICAF Project started in October 2011 with a budget of US$ 2.5 million and is implemented in the Philippines and Per u.

    Project
    Strengthening Capacities to Address Climate Change Impacts on Biosecurity and Food Security in Fiji, Samoa and Solomon Islands - TCP/SAP/3704 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The project achieved all expected outcomes to a satisfactory level despite delays caused by COVID-19 restrictions, leading to two no-cost extensions. In all, the project contributed to increased knowledge on addressing climate change and transboundary/invasive species pressures on food security in the Pacific Islands by producing one pre-feasibility study, one concept note and one PowerPoint presentation. The pre-feasibility/technical study report focused on the correlation between climate change, transboundary/invasive species and their impacts on food security in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. The study collected scientific evidence from regional and national organizations and highlighted concrete examples of transboundary movement of pests and diseases and their impacts at the national level. The report also analysed past and current climate-smart agriculture projects and included an environmental and social assessment, but not the economic and financial implications assessment that was originally stipulated. Additionally, this study also connected impacts associated with El Niño to outbreaks of pests and diseases in the Pacific Islands. The original concept note to be presented to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) was revised using information collected from the technical studies and technical inputs from both FAO and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). The SPC, as the Accredited Entity for the (GCF) project, has taken charge of the project and is responsible for submitting the updated concept note to the GCF Secretariat for review. FAO, as the Executing Entity, will continue working with SPC to formally submit the concept note to the GCF, address any comments and jointly develop the full project proposal for the GCF Board.

    Policy brief
    Food security impact of agricultural technology adoption under climate change: Micro‐evidence from Niger
    Economics and Policy Innovations for Climate‐Smart Agriculture. Policy Brief No.1
    2015
    Also available in:

    This brief summarizes the results of a comprehensive national representative plot-level survey with a wealth of socio-economic information merged with geo-referenced climatic information. We assess factors affecting the adoption of agricultural technologies under climate risk and evaluate the impact of adoption on food security in Niger. Specifically, we look at how bio-physical and climatic factors affect a set of agricultural practices known to increase resilience and productivity. We analyse the relationship between type of practice and crop productivity for a range of different farmer types, and under a range of biophysical and climate conditions.
