Resumen
Descripción
This publication aims to create awareness and prompt action amongst policy-makers and practitioners to address the impact of climate change (notably changes in temperature and rainfall) to the countrys food security. It serves as a good example of how the ongoing FAO and Government of Lesotho project activities Environment, are complementing identified by the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) on climate change. It also draws on lessons learnt on strengthening capacity for climat e change adaptation in agriculture at national, district and community level, focusing on selected areas of crops, livestock and forest-based livelihood systems. The publication would be a useful resource to policy-makers, development partners and field practitioners on documenting and identifying viable community-based response and practices in climate change adaptation, and in pointing out opportunities for scaling-up in other parts of the country and region with similar agro-ecological and social context.
