1. What tools and policies are required to
bring food security, adaptation and
mitigation together?
Nadine Azzu

2. Evidence of impact
1. Drought-resistant varieties using local biodiversity,
leading to increased productivity and reduced risk
(Mali)
2. Community seed enterprises developed, leading to
availability of suitable seeds for local farming
communities (Cameroun)
3. Urea deep placement: improved fertilizer
management, so less waste of resources (25%
decrease in urea use). Showed a 25% increased crop
yield; and increased opportunities for income: 2,500
enterprises for making urea pellets created, mainly
run by women (Bangladesh)

3. Going to scale
1. Increase south-south cooperation (e.g. in
transfer of technology)
2. Have proven economic performance/impact
3. Ensure solid scientific basis (strongly
considering local knowledge)
4. Integrate climate concerns into national
agricultural policies, extension messages and
education systems
