Product type Document

Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) This practice was tested in the project “Enhanced Climate Change Adaptation Capacity of Communities in Contiguous Fragile Ecosystems in the Cordilleras” (2009 – 2011) between august 2010 and december 2011. Through the active participation and involvement of local stakeholders and end-users in both training and field demonstration activities, the project identified forest enrichment as a location-specific and appropriate option for climate change adaptation. The GPO was tested in the municipalities of Kiangan and Banaue located in the Province of Ifugao, Philippines during the wet / dry seasons of 2010 and 2011.

    Value Chain Analyses for Shan Tea and Arabica Coffee under Climate Change in the Northern Mountainous Region of Viet Nam 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This brief summarizes the results of analyses of Shan tea and Arabica coffee value chains in the Northern Mountainous Region of Viet Nam in order to better understand how they are affected by climate change and their potential to be climate smart. It provides highlights from the larger studies that can help shape sectoral development plans within a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) framework to sustainably improve the food security and resilience of the population dependent on these sectors, while capturing any potential mitigation co-benefits. The evidence base will also contribute to the formulation of sub-national and national CSA frameworks and financing mechanisms for agricultural development in Viet Nam.
