Water-Land-Food Nexus: Water Governance for Fish Production and Rice Farming

december, 2022
Malaysia

Cambodia has abundant water resources in general, but it has a little water in the dry season. The increased dry season rice farming in many provinces, following the increased rice export policy in Cambodia and the spill-over effects of rice trade in Vietnam has led to high demands for water for dry season rice farming. These have led to water shortage and conflicts over water among farmers in the farming provinces, and between sectors, for instance, fishery and rice farming.

State of Index-Based Crop Insurance Interventions for Smallholder Farmers and Agribusinesses in East Africa

Global

This review of index-based agricultural insurance for the Climate Resilient Agribusiness for
Tomorrow—CRAFT (https://crafteastafrica.org/) project was part of a wider effort to strengthen
understanding in the enabling environment for scaling in CRAFT interventions. The findings can be
used to design an appropriate agricultural insurance intervention in future.
Climate-smart crop insurance is one of the interventions that was proposed in the project.

Assessment of the use, intensity and adoption of Climate Information Services (CIS) and Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies in Ghana.

december, 2022
Ghana

Building on the successes from previous projects such as CCAFS and addressing emerging issues, the World Bank supports the CGIAR to accelerate climate research in Africa. As a mode of implementation, AICCRA deployed several CIS-CSA technologies from an initial 22 prioritized to 5 for each of the 6 value chains in Ghana. Scaling options were through demo sites at both individual farmer and community-level farm accompanied by field days.

Anticipatory action in communities hosting refugees and internally displaced persons: an assessment of current approaches

december, 2022
Global

This paper is a global literature review of anticipatory action approaches in communities hosting forcibly displaced persons. Anticipatory action, or a set of actions taken to prevent or mitigate a potential disaster before acute impacts are felt, is an essential strategy to reduce the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events. However, due to the complexity and diversity of host community environments, it has proven challenging to incorporate this approach into these contexts.

One Health survey on tilapia-dominant farming and antimicrobial usage practices in Bangladesh

december, 2022
Bangladesh

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and farming practices concerning AMU within tilapia-dominant polyculture food production systems in Bangladesh. The rationale behind this investigation is rooted in the belief that comprehending the behavior and practices of fish farmers is crucial for conducting experimental tests on the potential impact of reduced reliance on AMU on the production and profitability of fish farming.

Small-scale farming, gender relations and resource allocation: Barriers to adoption of nature-positive solutions in Western Kenya

december, 2022
Global

The agricultural sector is a key driver of climate change and biodiversity loss and is in urgent
need for transition. NATURE+, a large-scale CGIAR agricultural development initiative, aims
to support small-holder farmers in shifting agrifood systems to more sustainable pathways by
adopting nature-positive solutions. With gender equality at its core, it is crucial to enhance
women’s opportunities and to identify any barriers to the adoption of nature-positive practices.

Community voices on climate, peace and security: Kenya

Kenya

This study conducted a participatory appraisal of climate vulnerabilities and conflict risks three communities across Kenya: 1) members of the Yiaku Indigenous Peoples in the Mukogodo Forest region, located in Laikipia County; 2) members of the Endorois Indigenous Peoples in the Lake Bogoria Game Reserve region, located in Baringo County; and 3) members of the Banyala Indigenous Peoples at the shores of Lake Victoria, in Busia County. The effects of climate variability across Kenya are contributing to depleting the natural resource base on which many livelihoods rely.

Women’s Empowerment in Agrifood Governance (WEAGov) assessment framework: A pilot study in Nigeria

december, 2022
Nigeria

Women’s equal participation and leadership in political and public life can boost a country’s long-run economic growth, foster social inclusion, and help countries reach the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Beyond these important outcomes, women’s inclusion in public life is a basic human right: women deserve a role in making decisions, controlling resources, and shaping policies. Despite the importance of women’s voices and their empowerment in policy and decision-making processes, it is far easier to lament their absence than to define and measure them.
