NEEDS AND DETERMINANTS OF ACCESS TO CLIMATE INFORMATION SERVICES BY WOMEN PRODUCERS IN SENEGAL
(Poster, 2018-03-20) Diouf Seynabou; Ouédraogo, Issa; Zougmoré, Robert B.; Ouédraogo, Mathieu
Climate change affects differently men and women around the world. Due to women’s limited access to, and control over key assets, information and inputs for instance, they tend to be disadvantaged in terms of ability, flexibility and means to change their agricultural practices to adapt to a changing climate (Bryan et al. 2012). In sub-Saharan Africa in particular, where women are mostly engaged in rain-fed agriculture under precarious conditions, the effects of land degradation linked to climate change are increasingly affecting their production system. This is why the gender roles in climate-related practices and policies is more and more desired. In order to improve farmers’ capacity to cope with recurrent climate variability through the use of climate information, a study was conducted in 10 Regions of Senegal. The specific objectives were to: i) understand and identify farming adaptation practices used by men and women, ii) determine the climate information needs from women, and iii) identify the factors that can influence women's access to climate information.

VHR imagery to quantify crop response to fertilizer and develop business services for smallholders

Food needs arising from the demographic explosion of sub-Saharan Africa can only be met through agricultural intensification. Smallholder systems feature enormous yield gaps, which may be reduced through ISFM and other sustainable intensification practices. However, today’s huge variability in farming practices and returns on investments is likely to exacerbate in the future. Monitoring changes in productivity across scales is a significant challenge in heterogeneous systems, where overall low SOM and nutrient deficiencies prevail. Fortunately, remote sensing can help monitor crop performance at levels of granularity increasingly compatible with smallholder farming. This opens support applications for precision agriculture, allowing the exploitation – rather than the mitigation – of spatial heterogeneity, and the demonstration that enhanced productivity and livelihoods are possible in complex cropping systems.

Improved livestock management in Lower Nyando, Kenya
(Image, 2013-01-22) CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) East Africa regional program has selected six sites to test interventions that address risks related to climate change and variability. The aim is to help farmers adapt to climate change, while reducing agriculture related emissions and improve livelihoods through climate smart agriculture interventions. In this case, farmers have acquired improved livestock breeds such as gala goats and doper sheep that are early maturing, easy to manage with high milk productivity thereby increasing their resilience to climate change. Featured here is the Lower Nyando site, in Kenya. Photo: K. Trautmann. Please credit accordingly.

Images from the inauguration of the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security (CCAFS) Southeast Asia regional office in Vietnam. This included visits to national organisations currently undertaking innovative research, and farmers who are leading the way in efficient and productive farm management. The office will support the work of many contributing international and regional research and development partners as they work toward providing solutions to ensure climate-smart agriculture in the region. The program office is based at the <a href="http://www.irri.orgInternational Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) East African regional program has selected six sites to test interventions that address risks related to climate change and variability. The ambition is to help farmers find new and improved farming techniques and agricultural knowledge that will help them adapt to climate change while reducing related emissions, and strengthen their livelihoods at the same time. In these photos, from Lower Nyando Kenya, farmers (who are members of a youth group) tend to tomatoes and other vegetables in their farm. Photos: K. Trautmann. Please credit accordingly.

The Eastern African Farmer Innovation Fair was held on 28th and 29th May 2013 and showcased innovations by smallholder farmers – women and men – giving them public recognition. The event highlighted the importance of farmer innovation in agricultural development, brought policymakers and the general public in Kenya in contact with farmer innovators, and provided an opportunity for the international participants in the Agricultural Innovation Systems (AISA) workshop to meet and engage with the innovators. The fair was hosted by Prolinnova–Kenya and co-organised with the Netherlands-supported AgriProFocus (APF) network, CCAFS and other organizations concerned with smallholder agricultural development. It involved farmer innovators from Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Photos: S. Makau (CCAFS)
