| dc.description | The climate-smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative for smallholder farmers in Jordan has been launched under the project "Building resilience to cope with climate change in Jordan through improving water use efficiency in the agriculture sector (BRCCJ)". A suite of climate-smart FFS training materials has been developed for different crops, cropping systems, and climate-smart agriculture technologies. The curriculum has six modules, namely, Module 1: climate-smart integrated homestead gardening, Module 2: climate-smart hydroponic leafy vegetable production, Module 3: climate-smart integrated fruit orchards, Module 4: climate-smart high-value vegetable agribusiness, Module 5: climate-smart rainfed wheat and barley, and Module 6: climate-smart livestock fodder bank. In support of the modules, catalogues for climate-smart agriculture technology have been developed to aid facilitators and farmer learning.In this module, several essential climate-smart technologies and agricultural practices that are instrumental in establishing and managing successful wheat and barley cultivation in the project areas in Jordan have been introduced, including the following technologies and agricultural practices: adaptive varieties, strip tillage, and intercropping.By promoting sustainable food production and enhancing climate resilience, this module offers a promising pathway towards adapting to climate change and water scarcity while achieving food security, livelihood improvements, and environmental sustainability in Jordan's agriculture sector. | |
