Agriculture in developing countries must undergo a significant transformation in order to meet the related challenges of achieving food security and responding to climate change. Projections based on population growth and food consumption patterns indicate that agricultural production will need to increase by at least 70 percent to meet demands by 2050. Most estimates also indicate that climate change is likely to reduce agricultural productivity, production stability and incomes in some areas that already have high levels of food insecurity. Developing climate-smart agriculture is thus crucial to achieving future food security and climate change goals. This seminar describe an approach to deal with the above issue viz. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and also examines some of the key technical, institutional, policy and financial responses required to achieve this transformation. Building on cases from the field, the seminar try to outlines a range of practices, approaches and tools aimed at increase the resilience and productivity of agricultural product systems, while also reducing and removing emissions. A part of the seminar elaborates institutional and policy options available to promote the transition to climate-smart agriculture at the smallholder level. Finally, the paper considers current gaps and makes innovative suggestion regarding the combined use of different sources, financing mechanism and delivery systems.

DRM Webinar III: Benefits of farm-level disaster risk reduction practices in ...FAO
Over the past decade, economic damages resulting from natural hazards have amounted to USD 1.5 trillion caused by geophysical hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides, as well as hydro-meteorological hazards, including storms, floods, droughts and wild fires. Climate-related disasters, in particular, are increasing worldwide and expected to intensify with climate change. They disproportionately affect food insecure, poor people – over 75 percent of whom derive their livelihoods from agriculture. Agricultural livelihoods can only be protected from multiple hazards if adequate disaster risk reduction and management efforts are strengthened within and across sectors, anchored in the context-specific needs of local livelihoods systems.
This series of three webinars on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRR/M) in agriculture is organized to:
1. Discuss the new opportunities and pressing challenges in reducing and managing disaster risk in agriculture;
2. Learn and share experiences about disaster risk reduction and management good practices based on concrete examples from the field; discuss how to create evidence and conditions for upscaling of good practices; and
3. Exchange experiences and knowledge with partners around resilience to natural hazards and climate-related disasters.
This webinar covered:
• measuring the benefits of farm-level disaster risk reduction practices in agriculture – approaches, methods and findings from FAO’s preliminary study;
• a case study from Uganda on how the agricultural practices for disaster risk reduction were implemented and monitored at farm level; and
• perspective from the Philippines on the challenges and opportunities to upscale the agriculture good practices for disaster risk reduction at national level.
Climate change and water security concern in agricultureAnoop Shrestha
Climate change poses major challenges for agriculture by threatening food production systems and water security worldwide. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events will reduce agricultural productivity and irrigation water availability. Both adaptation and mitigation measures are needed to increase the resilience of agriculture. Adaptation options include developing hardier crop varieties and more efficient irrigation techniques, while mitigation involves practices like minimum tillage and use of renewable energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Innovation in agriculture, including new technologies and management practices, will be crucial to address the impacts of climate change on food security.

Brief On Sustainable Agriculture Precious FinalDavidAndersson
Sustainable agriculture aims to address issues with conventional agriculture like persistent poverty, hunger, and environmental damage. It involves practices that integrate soil, crop, and livestock production while reducing external inputs and emphasizing techniques adapted to local conditions. Studies show organic and sustainable systems in developing countries can produce higher yields than conventional farms and meet global food demand. However, adoption of sustainable practices remains low due to constraints like lack of information, biomass availability, and unsupportive policies. Recommendations include tailored approaches, market support, institutional strengthening, and research to further understanding and address myths about sustainable agriculture.
The document discusses the challenges of climate change for agriculture and food security. As the concentration of greenhouse gases rises, crop suitability and yields are already changing, threatening food security. To meet growing demands, food production will need to increase by 60-70% by 2050. Left unchecked, climate change could result in 20% more malnourished children by 2050. The document outlines the research objectives and activities of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) to help adapt agriculture to climate change and reduce poverty through low-carbon pathways.
The document discusses climate smart agriculture as an approach to sustainable development. It describes how climate smart agriculture seeks to preserve natural resources, transition agricultural production systems, enhance food security, mitigate climate change, increase productivity, use inputs efficiently, and increase resilience. It provides examples of climate smart agriculture practices and technologies adopted, as well as challenges and recommendations for the future approach.

This document summarizes a case study assessing the socio-economic benefits of user-tailored early warning systems for coffee and maize farmers in Cusco, Peru. It finds that the socio-economic benefits of enhanced climate services for the two crops over 10 years would be approximately $10 million for the Cusco region and over $100 million for Peru. The study uses a stated preference methodology involving surveys of over 60 smallholder farmers to estimate their willingness to pay for hypothetical early warning systems. The systems would provide alerts for coffee rust outbreaks and frost/heat waves to help farmers implement preventative measures and reduce crop losses from climate impacts. The results indicate climate services could significantly increase resilience and benefits for farmers, but awareness
The document discusses the challenges of climate change for agriculture and food security. It argues that resources and research need to focus on helping poor rural communities adapt. International climate agreements could impact food security depending on how agriculture is treated and funds are allocated. The document proposes specific policy actions and Copenhagen agreement language around incentivizing agricultural mitigation, increasing adaptation investment, and establishing a public technology network focused on climate-smart agriculture.

Agriculture has been and continues to be the most important sector in Indian economy. Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues facing the world today. The impact of climate change is a reality and it cuts across all climates sensitive sectors including the Agriculture sector. In this situation this seminar focuses on the climate smart agriculture. CSA brings together practices, policies and institutions that are not necessarily new but are used in the context of climatic changes which is prime requirement in arena of climate change. Farmers possessed low level of knowledge regarding climate change, and they adopted traditional methods to mitigate the impact of climate change. Small land holdings, poor extension services and non availability of stress tolerant verities were the major problems faced by the farmers in adoption to climate change. Extension functionaries were having medium level awareness about impact of climate change on agriculture. They used electronic media, training and conferences and seminars as major sources of information for climate change. They need training on climate smart agriculture aspects. Based on the above facts this presentation focuses on analyzing the opportunities and challenges of climate smart agriculture.
This document discusses climate-smart agriculture and pest management. It defines climate-smart pest management as an approach that aims to reduce crop losses from pests, enhance ecosystem services, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and strengthen agricultural resilience to climate change. Key components of climate-smart pest management include early warning systems, using resilient crop varieties, conservation biological control, and precision farming technologies. The document also discusses implementing climate-smart agriculture specifically in lowland areas, outlining goals and practices such as agroforestry, growing climate-resilient rice varieties, and incorporating modern technologies and climate data.
Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) aims to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes, build resilience to climate change, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Recent UNFCCC negotiations have highlighted CSA. Key actions to implement CSA include expanding the evidence base on impacts and options, supporting enabling policies, strengthening institutions, enhancing financing, and implementing practices locally. FAO promotes CSA through projects, the Global Alliance, and practices like crop diversification, alternate wetting and drying of rice, and early warning systems.

implementation of a
Climate Smart Agriculture
(CSA) System in Trinidad
and Tobago
2. IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY GLOBALLY
Crop production is vulnerable to climate variability,
and climate change associated with increases in
temperature, increases in CO2, and changing
patterns of rainfall may lead to a considerable
decline in crop production. Also, extreme weather
events such as droughts, extreme heat waves, and
heavy rainfall leading to floods have increased in
past decades. Enhancing crop production to meet
rising demands owing to the increasing population,
against the background of the threats of climate
change, is a challenging task.
ADAPTION MECHANISMS TO PROTECT AGAINST
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate-ready crops or thermal stress-tolerant
varieties, adjusting planting dates, improving water
conservation and management practices,
Using efficient irrigation and fertilizer management,
diversifying crops, and improving pest management
could help reduce the impacts of climate change.
Reliable local weather information and early
warning systems for farmers will be useful in
minimizing risks of climatic threats.

5. CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURE (CSA)
As a result of Climate change, new and innovative techniques have
been introduced in the farming communities in several countries
globally.
The CSA method of farming will provide farmers and stakeholders
with the requisite technical knowledge and training that would result
in sustain food security.
It ensures economic viability for all stakeholders.
6. KEY FACTS ABOUT A CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURE (CSA) SYSTEM
Climate-smart agriculture is not a new agricultural system, It is an innovative approach for charting development
pathways that can make the agriculture sectors more productive and sustainable and better able to contribute to
climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Agricultural production systems and food systems must undergo significant transformations to meet the interlinked
challenges of achieving sustainability, increasing food security and responding to climate change.
Increasing efficiency in the use of natural resources and other agricultural inputs is a central element for making
agriculture climate-smart.
Building resilience to the risks associated with climate change is essential for preparing agricultural communities to
cope with the uncertainty created by changing climatic conditions.
Climate-smart agriculture contributes to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and follows the principles of sustainable food and agriculture.

7. THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE ON THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY IN TRINIDAD AND
TOBAGO
Trinidad and Tobago, as with most countries
globally is not insulated from the abnormal weather
patterns associated with climate change and this
has adversely affected the local farming
community. As a result farmers continue to suffer
immense losses to their crop production.
At present most farmers continue to institute
traditional methods for farming, so with the
proposed system of ‘Climate Smart Agriculture’
technique ,it would to some degree alleviate the
heavy losses incurred from the bad weather and in
the main adopt new trends to ensure sustainability
of long term food security for the country.
THE INTRODUCTION OF A CLIMATE SMART SYSTEM IN
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO WILL ACHIEVE THE
FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES:
sustainably increasing agricultural productivity
and incomes;
adapting and building resilience to climate
change;
reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas
emissions, where possible.
8. WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR A SMART
AGRICULTURE SYSTEM IN TRINIDAD AND
TOBAGO…
Improvements in the physical infrastructure
(e.g. roads, irrigation schemes, facilities for bulking,
processing and storage, and information and
communication systems) needed to facilitate access to
markets, and investments in rural areas.
Seed laws, policies and registration processes
related to the release, multiplication, distribution, quality
control and sale of seeds are important for climate-smart
crop production.
These policies and regulations which govern locally
are vitally important so as to encourage an enabling
environment so as to ensure that farmers have
timely access to reasonably priced quality seeds
and planting materials of the most suitable crop
varieties.
9. WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR A SMART
AGRICULTURE SYSTEM (CSA) SYSTEM IN
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO…
Financial incentives to enhance farmers'
capacities or increase their access to soft loans to
support initial investments in sustainable practices and
technologies. To be effective, tenure rights to land need
to recognized and granted legitimacy.
Financial strategies can enable farmers especially
smallholders with limited purchasing power, and
streamline them into existing institutions.
CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
For farmers in particular, gaining and sharing
knowledge about changing climatic conditions and the
sustained viability of adapted crop production practices
are important when formulating strategies to cope with
the limiting factors affecting their crop system.
To Understand the allocation of the resources that
they have at their disposal and those they can
mobilize. This will assist them in making informed
investments in climate change adaptation and/or
mitigation.
Understanding the processes when making
decisions about adopting new practices and
technologies.

CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT
The development of capacities of the private
sector in manufacturing, providing services and the
marketing of agricultural machinery can also support
the adoption of climate-smart crop production
practices.
The lack of availability of locally manufactured
agricultural machinery and spare parts, and the
absence of local repair and maintenance
services are important obstacles to sustainable
mechanization and contribute to inefficiencies in
crop production.
TECHNOLOGIES FOR DECISION MAKING
Develop simple robust scientific tools that can guide
the decision-making of farmers on a seasonal and
long-term basis is essential for planning strategies to
address climate change.
Risk management- the technologies relate to
weather forecasting and early detection systems.
The improved timing and reliability of seasonal
forecasts and hydrological monitoring enables
farmers to make better use of climate information,
take pre-emptive actions and minimize the impact of
extreme events.

11. BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM A CSA SYSTEM IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
Greater access to technological innovations and a sound understanding of agricultural
ecosystems will allow farmers to work 'smarter not harder' and work in tandem with
biogeochemical processes inherent in diverse and complex ecosystems.
Various options available for farmers depending on their needs
The solutions identified will always be cost-effective and profitable for farmers and responsive to markets.
Farmers would now be able to manage foreseen business risks of changing their production practices
(e.g. costs, investments and future value of the investments); consider the financial returns related to
adapting to changes in local climate; evaluate the implications of local climate on local prices and
markets; and anticipate the consequences climate change may have on crop prices in international
markets.

14. CONCLUSIONS
Climate-smart crop production and food systems can only be successful if they increase
the synergies and reduce trade-offs among the different stakeholders and their different
objectives regarding sustainable food production, ecosystem conservation and livelihoods.
This type of crop production requires that all stakeholders, including farmers, development
cooperation professionals and policy makers, strengthen their ability to make decisions on
matters that have typically been outside their area of expertise.
A system-wide capacity development approach is recommended for bringing about a
gradual transition towards climate-smart crop production.
