Description
Description
|
Through this initiative, Solutions from the Land will facilitate and support a North American Climate- Smart Agriculture Alliance where farmers, ranchers and foresters can collaborate with industry value chain, academic, government and NGO partners in sharing and discussing new adaptation practices, tools and production systems designed to improve resiliency and mitigate the current and future risks of changing climatic conditions.
|
Objectives
|
To shape an integrated approach to simultaneously pursue the three pillars of climate-smart agriculture: (i) sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and livelihoods (i.e. sustainable intensification); (ii) adapting and building more resilience; and (iii) reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions.
|
Activities
|
Among other activities the members of North American Alliance will (i) review latest information on what science is telling us about changing climatic conditions and the impact they will have on agriculture and forestry industries; (ii) formulate and prioritize recommendations on adaptation needs, priorities and policies to reduce risk and enhance the resilience of agricultural operations; (iii) support and comprise farmer/forester leadership teams that will share and discuss real-world adaptation and resiliency strategies with their peers at national, regional and local forums; and (iv) be active participants in the Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture.
