Resumen
Descripción
Smallholder farmers in Gambia are increasingly facing climate related induced disasters and vulnerabilities affecting their lives and livelihoods. During 2010-2012, farmers faced flash floods, periods of drought, disease infestation, saline intrusion, deforestation and massive erosion of their farmlands resulting in crop failure and reduced food security. ActionAid has introduced agroecological approaches including disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate resilient sustainable agriculture (CRSA ) to support smallholder farmers adapt to these shocks and to reduce vulnerabilities.
