Analytical Tools To Assist Climate-Smart Agriculture Policy MakingCGIAR
Presented by Mark W. Rosegrant at GFIA 2015, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Environment and Production Technology Division, IFPRI
Mark highlighted that CSA forces us to shifts the emphasis from policies that aim at a single targets to policies that have multiple objectives. He went on to underline that CSA changes the planning time horizon - policies and analyses necessarily span long time periods of 20-30 years. And that therefore CSA requires the use of integrated modeling frameworks that work at multiple geographical scales. And that given its complexity, importantly, CSA requires an even closer collaboration between policy makers and research community.
University of Aberdeen and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) have been collaborating to use the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) Mitigation Options Tool (CCAFS-MOT) to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from Indian farming and identifies cost-effective mitigation options. Sylvia Vetter has presented a poster with preliminary results of this project at EGU – European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna in April 2016.

The adaptation and adoption of conservation agriculture (CA)-based crop management through innovative techniques like reduced soil movement, adequate surface retention of crop residues and economically viable and diversified crop rotations are the way forward to address the emerging challenges mentioned above. This could help in ensuring sustainable food security and offer several environmental benefits in sustainable way. This is relatively a new strategy to deal with food security and environmental degradation in unfavourable agriculture system.

The Accelerating Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project works to deliver a climate-smart African future driven by science and innovation in agriculture.
AICCRA does this by enhancing access to climate information services and climate-smart agricultural technology to millions of smallholder farmers in Africa.
With better access to climate technology and advisory services—linked to information about effective response measures—farmers can better anticipate climate-related events and take preventative action that help communities better safeguard their livelihoods and the environment.
AICCRA is supported by a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, which is used to enhance research and capacity-building activities by the CGIAR centers and initiatives as well as their partners in Africa.
About IDA: IDA helps the world’s poorest countries by providing grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects and programmes that boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve poor people’s lives.
IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world’s 76 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa.
Annual IDA commitments have averaged about $21 billion over circa 2017-2020, with approximately 61 percent going to Africa.

Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
An introduction to CCAFS resources and tools for the private sector

2. The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) is a limited liability membership organisation registered in 2003 as the apex body of private sector in Kenya. Mandate of KEPSA is the development through advocacy, projects and partnerships both local and international. KEPSA works around to influence public policy through policy formulation and implementation. KEPSA represents over 100,000 direct and indirect members through BMOs in the private sector.
3. Private sector in Kenya recently is quite active in the issues pertaining to climate change impacts and management. Participated in the debate for new sets of processes for development of national climate change policy and legislation - which will be soon approved by the parliament of Kenya. This engagement gave private sector significant insight about the impact and seriousness of onset of climate change. CCAFS came in close contact with private sector.
4. Climate Change – Private sector
Noticeable understanding that private sector will need to look into its future resilience to the impacts of climate change with respect to its performance, in addition to work on to reduce GHG foot prints.
Crucial role to play in climate-smart agriculture to ensure food security while engaging in food production, processing and marketing embracing green economy.
Compelled to look into the development and application of new process technologies, including eco-efficient product development and climate responsible investments.
The private sector has to make right decisions on the sustainability.
5. Climate Change – Private sector
In all practicality, private sector operates on evidence based decision making. This ability is based on information, knowledge and experience.
For managing the climate change, private sector will look to science based tools to make appropriate decisions – science that is focused on evidence and reliability.
In agriculture, these decisions will be geared towards all three emphases of Climate Smart Agriculture – resilience, mitigation of GHG and food security with improved productivity.
6. Climate Change – Private sector
In essence, private sector will need well developed science based knowledge which may offer practical tools to work on previously mentioned three emphases.
It is important to note that agriculture supplies numerous raw materials to industries. It is also market for inputs and services offered by private sector – in all sectors of agriculture of food, feed and fibre.
Hence any failure of the agriculture sector has direct impact on private sector’s growth.
This dictates the need for tools to ensure sustained growth in agriculture business.
7. Opportunities to use tools in Kenya
Remote sensing-based agriculture tools for Agricultural crops
Such tool would aim to evaluate high resolution satellite imagery as a way for identifying time based crop variability. This will help make decision on targeted soil sampling, targeted agronomy among other variables which may finally help reduce the crop loss.
Pasture Biomass Sensors
Active plant biomass sensors are useful in determining the green fraction of pastures. These plants sensors can be used to map pasture production across field to enable quantification allowing better management decisions. With modification, this tool can be effectively used in tea plantation to determine crop area for harvesting by estimating growth of fresh shoots.
8. Opportunities to use tools in Kenya
Soil Carbon Inventories tool
This can provide a map of an inventory of above and below-ground carbon stocks.
A useful management and decision making tool for consider carbon emissions and sinks. Soil carbon- in terms of soil health and production benefits- is widely recognised in agricultural systems.
Some of the Flower farms in Kenya are using sensor to control micro-climate in greenhouses to promote the growth of roses with most optimised use of water.
A vegetable and fruits processing company that cans the white beans has developed drought tolerant variety seeds of white beans and is giving to farmers. This was developed in partnership with research institution in Kenya through biotechnology modelling. The company is also developing drought tolerant tomato variety.
9. Opportunities to use tools in Kenya
Although there are some biomass gasification plants in Kenya in industrial sector, such technologies can be replicated for agriculture sector to provide heat and power. Science based tools can predict the availability and quantum of biomass as fuel for such plants.
Wastewater recycling for coffee processing plant has significant opportunity to reuse the treated water both for processes and irrigation for same farms. Appropriate tools can manage the plant remotely to predict the quality of treated water for reuse.
10. Opportunities to use tools in Kenya
Privates sector is keen to obtain tools and technologies for following areas of the agriculture and for the value addition for the agriculture produce.
• Sustainable Agriculture
• Water conservation and harvesting
• Agroforestry
• Climate compliant New crops
• Soil and nutrient management
• Pest and disease control.
11. Opportunities to use tools in Kenya
• Harvesting, processing and supply chains
• Resource Efficiency Management- Input and waste management
• Improved access to information and technology transfer
• Awareness creation – product acceptability
• Financial Management tools
• Genetic resources management
12. East Africa is a leading African Agricultural Economy. It needs all necessary help – particularly private sector - to combat climate change for not reversing the gains acquired so far and to meet future national development targets.
