    This participatory video titled “We Can” was filmed, produced, and directed by a group of 11 farmers and community members from Damolgo and Sekoti, Ghana. With this video they want to communicate the message: ‘we can use our combined knowledge to address the land management challenges we face.’ The film features farmers describing the importance of trees, stone bunds, contour planting and vetiver grass strips, mulching and manuring and the negative effects of bush burning.

    Taking a gender-responsive approach to Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) means that the particular needs, priorities, and realities of men and women are recognized and adequately addressed in the design and application of CSA so that both men and women can equally benefit.

    The gender gap in agriculture affects how men and women access and benefit from CSA.

    A gender-responsive approach to CSA addresses this gap by recognizing the specific needs and capabilities of women and men.

    Most cities in developing countries fail to treat their wastewater comprehensively. Consequently, farmers downstream use poor-quality water for irrigation. This practice implies risks for farmers, consumers and the environment. Conversely, this water supply supports the livelihood of these farmers and other stakeholders along the value chains. Linking safer options for wastewater management with irrigation could therefore be a win–win solution: removing the risks for society and maintaining the bene ts for farmers.

    Indus basin irrigation system (IBIS) is one of the largest contiguous irrigation systems of the world. The surface canal water supplies are far less than the crop water demands which lead farmers to use groundwater to cope surface water scarcity. Although many studies in the IBIS are conducted to analyze the equitable distribution of canal water, there is hardly any study which comprehensively analyze the equitable use of canal water and groundwater at different spatial and temporal scales. One of the main reasons is lack of reliable information on the volume of groundwater abstraction.

    The agricultural development project ACCESO

    reduced greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and

    led to net carbon sequestration due to perennial

    crop expansion.

    ? Increased fertilizer use was a moderate source

    of emissions that was more than offset by

    reduced emissions from other ACCESOsupported

    practices, including improvements in

    soil, water, and fertilizer management, and in

    feed and grassland use by dairy cows.

    ? Compared to conventional practices, ACCESOsupported

    activities reduced emission intensity
