MICCA Pilot Projects: Identifying
climate-smart agriculture practices with
smallholder farmers in East Africa
By Janie Rioux
Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN
7th October 2015
Content
• Background and objectives of the MICCA pilot
projects
• Approach
– Identifying the sets of climate-smart agriculture
(CSA) practices
– Implementing and promoting adoption of CSA
• Lessons learned
MICCA Pilot Projects
The MICCA pilot projects aimed to:
• Integrate CSA practices into on-
going development activities to test
and demonstrate the synergies and
trade offs between food
productivity, resilience and GHG
emissions reduction
• Provide quantifiable evidence on
CSA to farmers, national and local
decision makers and international
organizations and donors
MICCA Pilot Projects
Putting climate-smart agriculture into practice
Programme: FAO MICCA Programme
Partners: ICRAF, EADD, and CARE
Timeframe: Jan 2011 to Dec 2014
Donor: The Government of Finland
Locations:
• Kaptumo, Western Kenya, Kenya
• Uluguru Mountains, Morogoro
district, Tanzania
4
Source: Rioux et al., FAO, 2015 (in prep.)
Approach
Situation Analysis
• Socio-economic baseline:
– Representative households survey
– To identify farming practices, climate risks, socio-economic conditions
(inc. gender role, availability of and access to labour and land)
• Capacity needs assessment:
– Multi-levels capacity assessments at national, district and project
– To identify farmer needs and policy and institutional environment
• Carbon-balance analysis:
– To identify the mitigation potential of current and future farming
scenarios
• Consultations with farmers:
– To discuss on different suitable practices and gather their perceptions
and preferences
MICCA Pilot Project in Kenya

dairy production system
Kenya: Baseline Results
• Evolving Livestock feeding practices:
– natural pasture all year, only grazing 34%
– mainly grazing with some stall feeding (9 months pasture)
50%
– mainly stall feeding and some grazing 15%
– zero grazing (stall feeding only) < 1%
• Women are involved in 50% of decisions on agricultural
practices and management, but less in regard to livestock.
• Farmer interests in participating in the project was to gain
access to loans 37% and improve income 24% (only 4% to gain
knowledge).

Kenya: Implementation Strategy
• Through East Africa Dairy Development Project (EADD) and district extension services in 6
locations of Kaptumo division (27 000 people, 9000 ha)
• As part of the Kaptumo Dairy Farmer Business Association (3 450 members)
• Project extension officers 5 5 Community Extension Service Providers
– 22 farmer trainers 31 farmer groups
– 36 demo plots, 2 biogas digesters, 68 tree nurseries with > 300 0000 seedlings
 Total 4700 farmers trained (35% women)
Farmer-to-farmer training

agroforestry, improved
cook-stoves, and soil and
water conservation to
improve yield and
livelihoods and reduce
burning, erosion and
deforestation.
Tanzania: Baseline Results
• Small land size: median is 2 acres per farmer, but it ranges from 0.25 to 10
acres
• Insecure Land Tenure: 50% of farmers are renting lands (33% with or 17%
without fees as many lands are clan-owned)
• 90% of farmers practice slash and burn agriculture
• Climate change impacts perceived by 74% of households, e.g. prolonged
dry season, crop failure -> resulting in food shortage

MICCA Pilot Projects- Lessons Learned
• Important to target and tailor CSA to site-specific farming system, socio-
economic conditions and farmers needs.
• Farmers need to be engaged in the participatory planning of climate-smart
agriculture and work jointly with technical specialists and extensionists to
develop the set of locally-relevant CSA practices.
• Sustainable extension approaches are key, as adoption of CSA practices is
highly influenced by trainings and farmer-to-farmer learning.
Smallholder farmers can be part of the solution to climate change,
and increase food production and resilience while mitigating
greenhouse gas emissions.

MICCA Pilot Projects: Identifying climate-smart agriculture practices with smallholder farmers in East Africa

  • 1. MICCA Pilot Projects: Identifying climate-smart agriculture practices with smallholder farmers in East Africa By Janie Rioux Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN 7th October 2015
  • 2. Content • Background and objectives of the MICCA pilot projects • Approach – Identifying the sets of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices – Implementing and promoting adoption of CSA • Lessons learned
  • 3. MICCA Pilot Projects The MICCA pilot projects aimed to: • Integrate CSA practices into on- going development activities to test and demonstrate the synergies and trade offs between food productivity, resilience and GHG emissions reduction • Provide quantifiable evidence on CSA to farmers, national and local decision makers and international organizations and donors
  • 4. MICCA Pilot Projects Putting climate-smart agriculture into practice Programme: FAO MICCA Programme Partners: ICRAF, EADD, and CARE Timeframe: Jan 2011 to Dec 2014 Donor: The Government of Finland Locations: • Kaptumo, Western Kenya, Kenya • Uluguru Mountains, Morogoro district, Tanzania 4
  • 5. Source: Rioux et al., FAO, 2015 (in prep.) Approach
  • 6. Situation Analysis • Socio-economic baseline: – Representative households survey – To identify farming practices, climate risks, socio-economic conditions (inc. gender role, availability of and access to labour and land) • Capacity needs assessment: – Multi-levels capacity assessments at national, district and project – To identify farmer needs and policy and institutional environment • Carbon-balance analysis: – To identify the mitigation potential of current and future farming scenarios • Consultations with farmers: – To discuss on different suitable practices and gather their perceptions and preferences
  • 7. MICCA Pilot Project in Kenya Integrated crop-livestock system of Western Kenya Improving milk yield and income of dairy producers while reducing the climate change “footprint” of dairy production system
  • 8. Kenya: Baseline Results • Evolving Livestock feeding practices: – natural pasture all year, only grazing 34% – mainly grazing with some stall feeding (9 months pasture) 50% – mainly stall feeding and some grazing 15% – zero grazing (stall feeding only) < 1% • Women are involved in 50% of decisions on agricultural practices and management, but less in regard to livestock. • Farmer interests in participating in the project was to gain access to loans 37% and improve income 24% (only 4% to gain knowledge).
  • 9. Kenya: Baseline Results 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 reduced production and yield death of livestock decreases of milk production destruction of crops erosion Impacts of climate change Main changes in climate: - more erratic rainfalls - a longer dry season - rivers drying up - problems with watering cattle - decreases in soil fertility Only 11% indicated no change Coping Strategies % Building terraces to avoid erosion 10 Reducing herd numbers and improving milk production of smaller herds 10 Changing the type of crops cultivated 8 Changing planting practices 7 Building protective sheds for livestock 7 Growing feed 5
  • 10. Kenya: Set of CSA practices Practices Sub practices or species Improved fodder production and feed conservation Napier grass Rhodes grass Fodder sorghum Lucerne (Alfalfa) Cow kandy Columbus grass Dolichos lab lab Hay and sillage making Agroforestry/ tree planting/ tree nurseries Calliandra calothyrsus (fodder) Leucaena trichandra (fodder) Tree Lucerne Grevillea robusta Croton spp. Sesbania sesban Eucalyptus spp. Improved pasture and cattle management Paddocking Bush clearing Sowing with legumes Breeding Manure management Manure collection Compost Biogas digesters
  • 11. Kenya: Implementation Strategy • Through East Africa Dairy Development Project (EADD) and district extension services in 6 locations of Kaptumo division (27 000 people, 9000 ha) • As part of the Kaptumo Dairy Farmer Business Association (3 450 members) • Project extension officers 5 5 Community Extension Service Providers – 22 farmer trainers 31 farmer groups – 36 demo plots, 2 biogas digesters, 68 tree nurseries with > 300 0000 seedlings  Total 4700 farmers trained (35% women) Farmer-to-farmer training approach: Research showed that farmer trainers in the area can disseminate their knowledge up to 20 new farmers each month trained trained trained
  • 12. EADD-MICCA project Support Trainings on CSA practices 5 Community Extension service providers and 22 Farmer trainers 31 Farmer groups 36 Demo Plots 2 biogas digesters 4 700 farmers trained exchange visits Individual and group tree nurseries 68 tree nurseries > 300 000 seedlings Kenya: Implementation Strategy Workshops with EADD Kapcheno dairy, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Ministry of Environment, and LVBMP
  • 13. MICCA Pilot Project in Tanzania Cereal-based family farming in the highlands Combining conservation agriculture practices with agroforestry, improved cook-stoves, and soil and water conservation to improve yield and livelihoods and reduce burning, erosion and deforestation.
  • 14. Tanzania: Baseline Results • Small land size: median is 2 acres per farmer, but it ranges from 0.25 to 10 acres • Insecure Land Tenure: 50% of farmers are renting lands (33% with or 17% without fees as many lands are clan-owned) • 90% of farmers practice slash and burn agriculture • Climate change impacts perceived by 74% of households, e.g. prolonged dry season, crop failure -> resulting in food shortage 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 diseases low yields low rainfall prolonged dry season lack of equipment Main agricultural-related problems To cope with climate change, 57% of farmers didn’t know what to do, 16% planted cassava, and 6% practiced crop rotation.
  • 15. Tanzania: Set of CSA practices Practices Sub-practices Conservation agriculture Minimum Tillage (after double digging) Mulching Crop Cover Crop Rotation Agroforestry/ tree Planting/ tree nurseries Multi-purpose trees: spice, fruit, woodfuel, fodder trees. E.g. cardamon, pepper, mango Soil and Water Conservation and high value crops Bench terraces (on 35 to 50% slope) Fanya Juu/ Chini (on 12-35% slope) Vegetative strips (on < 5% slope) Improved Cooking Stoves Household cooking stove Brew making stove
  • 16. Tanzania: Implementation Strategy • Through CARE and district extension service in 3 wards and 15 villages (18 400 people, 16 800 ha) and jointly with the CARE HICAP project (Hillside Conservation Agriculture for Improved Livelihoods in the South Ulugurus) • Training of trainers and farmer-led extension approaches • 22 Farmer Field Schools were trained • Demonstration plots at Kolero Community Center and in farmer trainers’ fields • 736 improved cooking stoves built, inc. 50 for brew making • A central and 11 satellite tree nurseries (group and institutional) with > 100 000 seedlings • Exchange visits and agricultural exhibitions Total 4 000 farmers trained on CSA 45% women Brew making improved cook stove
  • 17. CARE and MICCA staff (based in Morogoro) & 2 field extension agents (in Kolero village) & ICRAF-Tanzania staff 22 Farmer trainers District and ward officials were trained on CSA during workshops 22 Farmers field schools and Farmer groups trained on conservation agriculture, soil and water conservation, improved cooking stoves and agroforestry 1 central tree nursery 11 Group and institutional tree nurseries trained on tree nursery establishment and maintenance trainedtrained Tanzania: Implementation Strategy
  • 18. MICCA Pilot Projects- Lessons Learned • Important to target and tailor CSA to site-specific farming system, socio- economic conditions and farmers needs. • Farmers need to be engaged in the participatory planning of climate-smart agriculture and work jointly with technical specialists and extensionists to develop the set of locally-relevant CSA practices. • Sustainable extension approaches are key, as adoption of CSA practices is highly influenced by trainings and farmer-to-farmer learning. Smallholder farmers can be part of the solution to climate change, and increase food production and resilience while mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
