Descripción
In recent decades, climate change has increasingly impacted Mozambique, in particular the lives of smallholder farmers who are highly dependent on natural resources. Over the past decade, Mozambique has developed a comprehensive framework of laws, policies, strategies, programmes and action plans addressing rural development, adaptation to climate change and the agricultural sector. However, a number of challenges remain to ensure that climate change adaptation (CCA) is fully mainstreamed and integrated into the agricultural sector. The aim of the project was to enhance the capacity of the country’s agricultural and pastoral sectors to cope with climate change by scaling up the adoption by farmers of CCA technologies and practices through a network of already established farmer field schools (FFS), and by mainstreaming CCA concerns and strategies into agricultural development initiatives, policies and programming.
