Resumen
Descripción
Southern Africa is warming at twice the global rate and with rainfall patterns growing increasingly unpredictable, floods and droughts are becoming more common. This means livelihoods are being threatened and in 2019 almost 42 million people in the region were food insecure.
By adopting Conservation Agriculture (CA) though, farmers will become more resilient.
The project Strengthening coordination, scaling up and governance of Conservation Agriculture in Southern Africa (SUCASA) is aimed at capitalising on the potential of CA by increasing collaboration among all partners in the region. By doing so, farmers will become more resilient to the effects of climate change and increase their food and nutrition security.
In promoting CA in Southern Africa, FAO is working in close partnership with Norad, AUDA-NEPAD, SADC, COMESA, CCARDESA, ACT, CFU, CIMMYT, FANRPAN, Foundations for Farming, IITA, SACAU, Total Land Care & WWF.
This factsheet provides an overview of the project and the benefits of conservation agriculture and is therefore a useful resource for all project stakeholders.
