Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideModule 3: Climate-smart integrated fruit orchard
Climate smart Farmer Field School curriculum
2024Also available in:
No results found.The climate- smart 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.In this module, several essential water-smart technologies that are instrumental in establishing and managing successful climate-smart integrated fruit orchard in the project areas in Jordan have been introduced, including the following technologies: subsurface deep root irrigation system, cocoons and smart irrigation technology.By promoting sustainable food production and enhancing climate resilience, this module 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.
