Linking small-scale fisheries co-management to U.N. Sustainable Development Goals
Small-scale fisheries account for 90% of global fishers and 40% of the global catch. Effectively managing small-scale fisheries is, therefore, crucial to progressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Co-management and community-based fisheries management are widely considered the most appropriate forms of governance for many small-scale fisheries. We outlined relationships between small-scale fisheries co-management and attainment of the SDGs, including evidence for impacts and gaps in dominant logic.
Climate change, transformative adaptation options, multiscale polycentric governance, and social welfare Towards an empirical evaluation in the context of Oum Er Rbia Basin, Morocco
The overall objective of the proposed research is to develop an empirically applicable methodology for capturing and evaluating the critical linkages between the relative success of transformative adaptation options and their relative effectiveness as determined by the underlying institutions and infrastructures at various scales and contexts.
Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for Pilot of Climate Smart Agricultural Innovations and Climate Information Service Technologies in Kenya
Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) is a project being implemented in Africa to help deliver a climate-smart African future, driven by science and innovation in agriculture. It is led by the Alliance of Bioversity and Centre for International Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and supported by a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank.
What forage tree-shrub species are recommended in alley cropping systems under west Asia conditions?
Presentation about the using suitability index based on growth characteristics to evaluate the performance of various shrubs as potential hedgerow species for alley cropping systems under west Asia conditions. Seven shrubs' species were evaluated in this study including three leguminous forage species (Medicago arborea, Colutea istria and Coronilla glauca), three Atriplex species (A. canescens, A. nummularia, A. undulata) and spineless cactus pear (Opuntia ficusindica) intercropped between annual crops of wheat, vetch and barley at the Mushaqqar Research Station in Jordan.
Climate Smart Agriculture in Uganda
Population growth, rapid urbanization, and dietary changes are placing tremendous pressure on food systems, particularly in developing countries. Based on current income, population and consumption trends, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that, by 2050, some 50 percent more food will be needed to satisfy the extra demand compared to 2013 (Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2012). The challenges posed by rapid growth in food demand are intensified by the effects of climate change on agricultural systems, including crops, livestock, forestry and fisheries.
Strengthening multi-stakeholders innovations platforms in Mali
Most of the smallholder farmers in Mali are confronted with multifaceted challenges, which include low productivity, post-harvest crop losses, underdeveloped markets, vulnerability to climate change, and gender inequality affecting the distribution of resources. These problems require interventions such as institutional reforms that facilitate efficient rural service delivery, development of markets, creation of physical infrastructure, and supportive government policies while ensuring a stable and conducive political environment.
Vision Pastoralist for Youth 2026 - Future of pastoralism in the face of climate change: Consultation outcome document, Kenya, 27-29 September 2022
Traditional pastoralism is a unique and resilient system for ensuring adaptation to climate change. This adaptation is particularly important to deal with a dynamic process of unpredictable climate variability and permanent human interactions in dryland ecosystems in Africa. It is considered of fundamental importance to ensure the application of innovative techniques and mechanisms to deal with these changes, and that these technologies are strategically integrated into community social structures and resource management value systems.
