  9. Capacitating Farmers and Fishers to manage climate risks in South Asia (CaFFSA) ICRISAT AM Whitbread, KPC Rao, S.Kumar, World Fish M. Phillips, M. Dickson CIMMYT C. Montes, T. Krupnik NARES Partners ANGRAU/OUAT/IITM/IRI Columbia &ACToday Private sector: MICROSOFT India &/or startups W1/2 funding CCAFS Bilateral funding IFAD/SDC/State Govt. Nov 21, 2018
  10. CAFFSA - summary Aim: to bring innovation in delivery of climate services to 330,000 farm households in 2 states in India (Andhra Pradesh and Odisha) and 300,000 fishing and fish farming households in Odisha and Bangladesh (Barisal, Sylhet and Khulna Districts). Gaps in the delivery and impact of Climate Information Services (CIS): • Reliability • Uncertainty • Scaling and delivery
  11. CAFFSA - deliverables • An operationalized ICT based delivery systems for communicating site specific climate information that is scalable + evaluation. • A methodological framework to identify time, accuracy and scale of climate-sensitive decisions of actors along fish value chains and relate them to practical cycles of fisher-farmer management decisions. • Training modules, outreach programs to enhance the capacity of farmers and their support agents in application of CIS. • High impact and published science.
  12. Intelligent Agricultural Systems Advisory Tool (iSAT) • Started as a ‘sowing app’ in 2016 – 30% in yields of users (n=300) • Developed a pre-season decision tree to inform crop planning • Developed a weekly decision tree integrating forecasts, crop and soil scenarios and systems information – messages sent via SMS • Piloted with 700 farmers in Anantapur in 2017&18 (Social media +40k) Weather advisories via SMS are nothing new but ‘integration’ to deliver real time, context specific advice are.
  13. Limitations to using climate Information to manage drought • Challenge of scaling – requirement for context specific information • Availability of high resolution met and soils data, forecasts • Analytics of historical weather information and knowledge of the farming system. • Probabilistic nature of forecasts a challenge to communicate • For seasonal forecasts, skill is often low at the times when decisions must be made. ‘Providing the required information and empowering the farmers to make their own decisions is more appropriate than prescriptive extension’
  14. CCAFS Core Projects Samuel Partey (CCAFS WCA) • FP1. Enabling institutions and policies for sustainable climate change Governance in agriculture (PN1590) – WCA Sibiry Traore (WCA) • FP4. Capacitating African Stakeholders with Climate Advisories and Insurance Development (CASCAID-II)

André F. van Rooyen, Martin Moyo, Jamie Pittock, Thabani Dube, Mthulisi Maya, Hennning Bjorlund “The goal is to start a conversation around water use and irrigation, making people think about how much to irrigate, how to save water and how to save nutrients from leaching through the root zone”

Editor's Notes

  1. This is NOT the right slide – but now we need to revise this one to who it is we work with / who are our partners And include on this slide one which includes our core partners – and including any key Dutch partners highlighted – i.e. RUAF – IHE as a separate subset – we need to check out with Rolf extent of whether WLE is part of CIAT’s Mirjam Pulleman’s involvement in Wageningen – we will also need to ask Julie
  2. We know what to do, where and how but we have not worked out the incentives (e.g. for youth), the finance and the institutions to make this happen. Working on business models e.g. PES – Nairobi Water Fund and business cases for impact investors for landscapes coupled with farm level soil carbon….. Ethiopia climate smart multifunctional landscapes – now key adviser to range of regional government offices/programs – Amhara.. Links to FTA and PIM – bringing three CRPs together to identify complementarities and pool collective knowledge – trees and soils re restoration with issues around rights/tenure/institutions – feeding key policy/investment AFR1000 Links to some of the AFS CRPs – MAIZE and RTB soil fertility management – more efficient fertilizer applications.. Another example on establishing and implementing incentives is on exclosures in Ethiopia – WLE produced a catalogue of management options with implicit incentives, e.g., bee keeping or fodder production for livestock fattening – land and benefits also distributed to landless youth and other vulnerable groups. Business model for exclosures is being developed.
  3. In collaboration with CCAFS experimenting with solar pumps technologies – with WLE ensuring expansion is safe and sustainable (in use of groundwater – getting incentives right through collective buy back arrangements for excess energy to avoid overpumping (sunshine as a cash crop). Also expanding into developing solar suitability maps – esp in Africa where there is huge potential for expansion of solar irrigation … US$7B to install grid-connected solar pumps with surplus power buy-back arrangements (building on the Dhundi Solar Project model, see ITP Research Highlight #10); and US$400M for groundwater irrigation in irrigation-deprived districts (building on ITP’s review and recommendations for the Prime Minister’s Krishi Sinchai Yojana (see ITP Research Highlight #1). A  new publication provides an account of the Indian solar irrigation discourse and the possibilities of future developments bringing new sustainable agricultural intensification opportunities e.g. horticulture and veg production – and for women and youth Our solutions: Affordability and availability: Business models Cost sharing, low interest loans, pooled collateral, joint ownership, leasing…  value chain integration (~Dutch link?) Location: Solar suitability maps Smart maps = smart investments Protect water resources, ease conflicts ( Dutch link) Over-pumping: Sunshine as a cash crop (buy-back schemes) Additional income Ease over-exploitation
  4. Work on safe recovery and reuse of septage (waste from septic tanks) and other organic waste from urban areas – an expanding problem as many households in LIC/MICs still operate on basis of septic tanks. A growing environmental and human health hazard. RRR (resource reuse and recovery) involves recycling of this waste into safe organic fertilizer and fuel briquettes and reuse of water for agricultural use. Initial science conducted in Ghana - now further roll out – a fertilizer plant in Ghana and municipalities in India and incorporated into Sanitation Policy Sri Lanka. Recent expansion also in MENA, and looking to take these technologies into refugee camps and small islands states (where waste particularly acute) – double benefits of cost recovery in sanitation chain but also new business opportunities, particularly suited small/medium sized cities and especially for youth. Exploring with FISH – the potential for wastewater reuse in aquaculture – given scarcity of water in many acquaculture regions.
