The reports cover the development of Climate-Smart Maps and Adaptation Plans (CS-MAP) for application in South Central Coast provinces, such as Khanh Hoa, Binh Thuan, Ninh Thuan, and Phu Yen. The documents aim to address the following issues: (1) to identify areas that need to delay sowing, conversion of crops, to suspend, or have an early planting to adapt to water sources and weather conditions; and (2) to ensure the involvement of stakeholders from experts as well as the public in determining the level of adaptation.

Foresight planning allows governments to construct development narratives of their desired futures and can help policymakers to better frame future policy environments. In this light, foresight can be used to influence SADC’s regional and member state strategies and policy development to ultimately enhance climate-resilient development pathways, including through the use of scenario-guided policy making, strategic planning, regional prioritisation and other foresight approaches.

In Central Asia, more than 90 % of annually renewable water resources are consumptively utilized in irrigation, and allocation conflicts between large-scale hydropower in the upstream and irrigation in the downstream occur regularly and mostly across complex international borders, especially during water scarce years and low storage conditions. With increasing attention on climate-neutral hydropower solutions, including on small-scale hydropower.

The Michigan State University Alliance for African Partnership (AAP) launched a multi-country study to contribute to upgrading and tailoring the agricultural extension curricula at participating institutions. The first phase of primary data collection consisted of focus group discussions. The focus groups were structured around a specific objective: gathering information around specific questions. Focus group discussions were followed by an online survey of Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services (AEAS) role players, of which the results will be discussed separately.

A chapter in Agroecology Transformation for Sustainable Food Systems: Insight on FRANCE-CGIAR Research. This chapter is about greening marginal agrosylvopastoral drylands in the Middle East. ICARDA, in collaboration with international and national partners and target dryland communities, developed agrosylvopastoral watershed rehabilitation and sustainable management packages that capitalize on the upsides of the overall threatening conditions to foster agroecological transition.

Van Yen District in Yen Bai Province represents the general terrain conditions and farming systems of the northern mountainous region of Vietnam. It has suffered land degradation due to soil erosion and nutrient depletion, which in turn led to declined crop yield, and food insecurity. The district experienced these impacts due to unsustainable upland agricultural practices. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development realized that their previous practices would not leave anything behind for the next generations.

Smallholder farmers grow a major share of the food consumed around
the world and preserve rich, biodiverse landscapes.1
But despite their
fundamental importance, many small farmers lead lives of deepening
vulnerability – caught between subsistence strategies threatened by
ecological degradation and commercial food systems that devalue them
as cheap labour. Alternative agricultural models are urgently needed.
One long-running movement still shows major untapped potential: that

This learning module shows how gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) considerations can be identified and integrated in programmes and initiatives in the Water-Energy-Food Environment (WEFE) Nexus. Intentionally focusing on gender and social inclusion in designing, implementing and monitoring Water-Energy-Food Environment initiatives is critical to ensure that these initiatives benefit and do not harm women and other marginalised groups and communities.

This paper presents an engagement study that focuses on a provincial low emission roadmap in rice production. Results obtained in the study of An Giang province show that AWD adoption is strongly influenced by biophysical conditions and technical guidance, while adoption of environmentally friendly straw management is mainly driven by market, rainfall distribution and quality of transportation network. In An Giang’s districts, adoption of LET can be improved in the next 5-year plan.
