Este documento, sintetiza los resultados de diversos procesos de intercambio y análisis y pretende informar los futuros procesos de desarrollo institucional en el tema. Los resultados en el documento han sido estructurados en cinco secciones principales: a. Marco conceptual que sintetiza los elementos que diferencia la planificación para la adaptación en la agricultura de otros procesos de planificación; b. Mapeo de la institucionalidad actual que soporta las acciones en cambio climático y agricultura en cada país; c.
Este documento identifica los instrumentos económicos, financieros y fiscales con los que cuenta el gobierno de Perú para incorporar un enfoque de adaptación al cambio climático o que podrían ser utilizados para promover la implementación de iniciativas que contribuyan a la adaptación del cambio climático en el país. Sin embargo, se limita a tres sectores relevantes: gestión del recurso hídrico, agricultura y gestión del riesgo por desastres.
The objective of this study was to analyse the economic and environmental impacts of the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies on farm management in Benin. The data were collected from 371 producers. Descriptive statistics, pie charts and histograms were used to represent and characterise the different adaptation strategies depending on the climatic risks experienced on the farms surveyed. The flora analysis tool EX-ACT developed by FAO allowed to evaluate greenhouse gas at farm level depending on the adaptation strategies used.
El objetivo de este trabajo es la recuperación y el registro de los saberes de una comunidad que se asocian al bosque nativo, mediante técnicas vinculadas a la etnobotánica, convirtiéndose de esta forma en una herramienta para el extensionista forestal que busca promocionar la revalorización de los saberes ancestrales de la comunidad Qom respecto a los usos y aplicaciones de las especies.
Este trabajo de investigación busca entender cuáles son los factores institucionales y políticos que pueden impulsar o desincentivar la adopción de prácticas de adopción de prácticas agrícolas sostenibles adaptadas al clima (ASAC) por parte de los pequeños productores, en el caso de un país, Honduras, con una mirada tanto a nivel nacional como a nivel local.
The farming systems followed by farmers in Asia, Africa and Latin America have the potential to deal with the problems thrown up by climate change. This article examines the changing drought ecosystems of poor farmers and also points out that the present paradigm of agricultural development and what it means for small farmers needs to be critically evaluated. Droughts in 2016 affected a quarter of the Indian population (2,55,923 villages in 254 districts in 10 states). Debates over drought preparedness and development priorities have been widespread.
This paper describes the strategic approaches to the development of a climate-smart village (CSV) model in the groundnut basin of Senegal. A CSV model is a participatory integrated approach using climate information, improved context-based technologies/practices aiming at reaching improved productivity (food and nutrition security), climate resilient people and ecosystem and climate mitigation.
Participation is usually regarded as a good practice in environmental policymaking, but its effects on policy strategies are unclear. Based on literature research, surveys, and interviews with participants, the present paper assesses whether decisional participation in formulating Austria’s National Adaptation Strategy (NAS) was worth the effort. Assessed against the goals of the participation process, the authors found that it raised awareness for adaptation and facilitated an exchange among the participants and that it improved the content of the NAS.
The objective of this paper is to review both supply- and demand-side measures for climate-smart agriculture and discuss their interlinkages, trade-offs, and context- and site-specific validity. The literature reviewed focuses on studies during the last decade (2008–2017) addressing food- and feed-related measures. Based on the literature review, potentials for different measures are identified and mapped across the globe using representative datasets.
The efforts to adapt to climate change in developing countries are in their infancy, and hopefully CSA will be a major contributor to these efforts. But CSA itself is evolving, and there is a growing need to refine and adapt it to the changing realities. This section of the book focus on the implications of the empirical findings for devising effective strategies and policies to support resilience and the implications for agriculture and climate change policy at national, regional and international levels.
