Permerculture is one form of a land restoration intervention that can help farmers in Low and middle income countries to become climate resilient, enhance biodiversity and protect thier livelihoods

Through effective land restoration and the prevention of farming practices that contribute to land degradation, we can enhance #biodiversity and increase communities’ resilience to the effects of climate change. Discover strategies in this CIFOR-ICRAF infographic. 👇 ☘ 🌏

🌾 Smallholder farmers use most of their crops and livestock to feed their own households and usually have few financial protections against the unforeseen costs of climate induced hazards. As climate risks continue to rise, smallholder farms are more likely to experience agricultural losses, resulting from both more frequent and more severe extreme weather events such as flooding, drought, and heat waves. 👨🏫 A new study conducted by IIASA scientists and Princeton University shows that decision-making preferences that account for community well-being can help facilitate optimal climate risk management and reduce economic losses for smallholder farmers.   https://lnkd.in/dwpf6GF5

Frequent climate change-related disasters and inflation have turned farming into a less-than-profitable enterprise. As a result, more and more farmers have been selling farmland to private housing societies, Writes @AsifkhanJmc & @kjaved834 Read more👇 https://lnkd.in/dEQpAqSa

Join our discussion on X at 4:00 PM today as we explore the causes and solutions to the ongoing challenges of climate change impacting our farming potential profits.

from the fields where we implement climate smart farming to the board room where we take a seat at the decision making table on policy issues on climate change adaptation and resilience at the county level

The success of our business depends on crops and the farmers who grow them. At the same time, our changing climate threatens the health of our crops and our farmers’ livelihoods. This unique field-to-store #regenag program will not only improve the resiliency of North Carolina wheat farmers, it’ll also help us and our partners reduce our #Scope3 #GHGemissions—creating #BetterDays for both people and planet. https://lnkd.in/gvDDMm-V

Farmers and ranchers in the Roaring Fork Valley (western slope of Colorado) have been coping with the effects of prolonged drought. Roaring Fork Conservancy recognizes the value and complexities of local agriculture and that is why we have partnered with several producers, Lotic Hydrological consulting, and Pitkin County Open Space and Trails in exploring opportunities of enhancing the resilience of ranching operations in the Roaring Fork Valley in times of water shortage. The project team is interested in identifying means for mitigating against the impacts of drought on productivity in mid- to high-elevation grass pastures and hay fields—the dominant agricultural land use in the Roaring Fork Valley. The study will work to identify field-scale treatments that can be used to minimize (or eliminate) reductions in crop yields and forage quality that are expected in times of limited water supply. Learn more about this project in this webinar, hosted by Western Landowners Alliance, where the project team and local rancher, discuss the project to-date. https://lnkd.in/gUKnc7zQ
