10 farmers’ organizations and public institutions in LAM empowered with tools to identify CSA options in line with seasonal forecasts

CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security. 2017. 10 farmers’ organizations and public institutions in LAM empowered with tools to identify CSA options in line with seasonal forecasts. Reported in Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security Annual Report 2017. Outcome Impact Case Report.

10 farmer organizations in 6 counties in LAM now have fully dedicated agro-climatic prediction and climate-site-specific agronomy analysis teams, sustainably producing climate-site-specific agronomic recommendations and seasonal agro-climatic forecasts in connection with national meteorological services. Two farmer organizations in Colombia adopted novel agro-climatic prediction practices; two national meteorological services strengthen their seasonal prediction capacity by automating the Climate Predictability Tool (CPT); 6 organizations use climate-site-specific agronomy to identify best CSA options.
