The MOAF through the GOJ-Adaptation Fund Programme is enhancing climate resilience in agriculture by improving water and land management in communities. It is partnering to build capacity in best practices like rainwater harvesting, gravity-fed drip irrigation, and water management strategies. Over 200 small drip irrigation systems have been provided to farmers, who were also given starter packs to boost crop production. Over 1,900 farmers were trained in climate-smart agriculture. Infrastructure like rainwater harvesting systems, ponds, and reservoirs were established or rehabilitated. Partnerships have positively impacted over 2,000 farmers and established 800 hectares of crops. Schools and 15 water-user groups were engaged to build sustainability.

CLIMATE RESILIENT SMART AGRICULTURE THROUGH ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION.pptxSGowriShankar5
Climate Resilient Smart Agriculture (CSRA) is an approach that includes sustainably using existing natural resources through the crop and livestock production system methods to achieve long-term higher productivity and farm incomes under climate variabilities. Some of the crucial methods to address the climate change and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are adaptation of mitigation technologies such as the cultivation of tolerant varieties to overcome the climate induced stress, water and nutrient management for efficient crop productivity and for resource utilization in a judicious manner, agro-advisories for timely crop monitoring, conservation agricultural practices to maintain and increase the soil organic carbon and build congenial environment for plant growth, manure management. Climate Resilient Smart Agriculture (CSRA) is helpful in reducing hunger and poverty in the face of climate change for our future generations. It can alter the current situation and it enhances the sustainable agricultural production from the local to global level, especially in a sustainably judicious manner. Improved access and utilization of technology for reduction of greenhouses from all the agriculture and the non-agricultural activities has to be prioritized. Structured training is very essential for the building confidence among the stakeholders and making them to realize the climate change effects and the events taking place because of the climate change. By arranging the Flagship farmers-oriented Programmes by the Government to improve the skills of the farming community to in the agricultural and allied sectors. Collaboration between the farmers, research institutions, funding agencies, government, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) and private sectors to combine and contribute their support for strengthening the Climate Resilient Smart Agriculture (CSRA).

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
