L'augmentation des risques météorologiques menace les systèmes de production agricole et la sécurité alimentaire dans le monde entier. Maintenir la croissance agricole tout en minimisant les chocs climatiques est crucial pour construire un système de production alimentaire résilient et atteindre les objectifs de développement dans les pays vulnérables. Les experts ont proposé plusieurs interventions technologiques, institutionnelles et politiques pour aider les agriculteurs à s'adapter à la variabilité climatique actuelle et future et à atténuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES). Ce document présente le village intelligent face au climat (CSV) comme moyen d'effectuer de la recherche agricole pour le développement qui teste de manière robuste les options technologiques et institutionnelles pour faire face à la variabilité climatique et au changement climatique dans l'agriculture en utilisant des méthodes participatives.Il vise à étendre et à étendre les options appropriées et à tirer des leçons pour les décideurs politiques du niveau local au niveau mondial.L' approche intègre l'évaluation des technologies, des pratiques, des services et des processus climato-intelligents pertinents pour la gestion des risques climatiques locaux et identifie les possibilités de maximiser les gains d'adaptation des synergies entre les différentes interventions et de reconnaître les mésadaptations et les compromis potentiels.Il veille à ce que ceux-ci soient alignés sur les connaissances locales et liés aux plans de développement.Ce document décrit les premiers résultats en Asie., l'Afrique et l'Amérique latine pour illustrer différents exemples de l'approche CSV dans divers contextes agroécologiques. Les résultats des études initiales indiquent que l'approche CSV a un fort potentiel pour étendre les technologies, les pratiques et les services agricoles climato-intelligents prometteurs. Les études analogiques climatiques indiquent que les leçons apprises sur les sites CSV seraient pertinentes pour la planification de l'adaptation dans une grande partie des terres agricoles mondiales, même dans les scénarios de changement climatique. Les principaux obstacles et possibilités de travail ultérieur sont également discutés. El aumento de los riesgos climáticos amenaza los sistemas de producción agrícola y la seguridad alimentaria en todo el mundo. Mantener el crecimiento agrícola y minimizar los impactos climáticos es crucial para construir un sistema de producción de alimentos resiliente y cumplir los objetivos de desarrollo en los países vulnerables. Los expertos han propuesto varias intervenciones tecnológicas, institucionales y políticas para ayudar a los agricultores a adaptarse a la variabilidad climática actual y futura y mitigar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Este documento presenta la aldea climáticamente inteligente (CSV) como un medio para realizar investigación agrícola para el desarrollo que pruebe de manera sólida las opciones tecnológicas e institucionales para hacer frente a la variabilidad climática y el cambio climático en la agricultura utilizando métodos participativos. Su objetivo es ampliar y ampliar las opciones apropiadas y extraer lecciones para los responsables de la formulación de políticas a nivel local y global. El enfoque incorpora la evaluación de tecnologías, prácticas, servicios y procesos climáticamente inteligentes relevantes para la gestión local del riesgo climático e identifica oportunidades para maximizar los beneficios de adaptación de las sinergias en diferentes intervenciones y reconocer posibles inadaptaciones y compensaciones. Se asegura de que estén alineados con el conocimiento local y se vinculen con los planes de desarrollo. Este documento describe los primeros resultados en Asia, África y América Latina para ilustrar diferentes ejemplos del enfoque CSV en diversos entornos agroecológicos. Los resultados de los estudios iniciales indican que el enfoque CSV tiene un alto potencial para ampliar las prometedoras tecnologías, prácticas y servicios agrícolas climáticamente inteligentes. Los estudios analógicos climáticos indican que las lecciones aprendidas en los sitios CSV serían relevantes para la planificación de la adaptación en una gran parte de las tierras agrícolas mundiales, incluso en escenarios de cambio climático. También se discuten las barreras clave y las oportunidades para seguir trabajando. Increasing weather risks threaten agricultural production systems and food security across the world.Maintaining agricultural growth while minimizing climate shocks is crucial to building a resilient food production system and meeting developmental goals in vulnerable countries.Experts have proposed several technological, institutional, and policy interventions to help farmers adapt to current and future weather variability and to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.This paper presents the climate-smart village (CSV) approach as a means of performing agricultural research for development that robustly tests technological and institutional options for dealing with climatic variability and climate change in agriculture using participatory methods.It aims to scale up and scale out the appropriate options and draw out lessons for policy makers from local to global levels.The approach incorporates evaluation of climate-smart technologies, practices, services, and processes relevant to local climatic risk management and identifies opportunities for maximizing adaptation gains from synergies across different interventions and recognizing potential maladaptation and trade-offs.It ensures that these are aligned with local knowledge and link into development plans.This paper describes early results in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to illustrate different examples of the CSV approach in diverse agroecological settings.Results from initial studies indicate that the CSV approach has a high potential for scaling out promising climate-smart agricultural technologies, practices, and services.Climate analog studies indicate that the lessons learned at the CSV sites would be relevant to adaptation planning in a large part of global agricultural land even under scenarios of climate change.Key barriers and opportunities for further work are also discussed. تهدد مخاطر الطقس المتزايدة أنظمة الإنتاج الزراعي والأمن الغذائي في جميع أنحاء العالم. يعد الحفاظ على النمو الزراعي مع تقليل الصدمات المناخية أمرًا بالغ الأهمية لبناء نظام إنتاج غذائي مرن وتحقيق الأهداف الإنمائية في البلدان المعرضة للخطر. اقترح الخبراء العديد من التدخلات التكنولوجية والمؤسسية والسياساتية لمساعدة المزارعين على التكيف مع تقلبات الطقس الحالية والمستقبلية والتخفيف من انبعاثات غازات الدفيئة. تعرض هذه الورقة القرية الذكية مناخيًا (CSV) نهج كوسيلة لإجراء البحوث الزراعية من أجل التنمية التي تختبر بقوة الخيارات التكنولوجية والمؤسسية للتعامل مع التقلبات المناخية وتغير المناخ في الزراعة باستخدام الأساليب التشاركية. ويهدف إلى توسيع نطاق الخيارات المناسبة وتوسيع نطاقها واستخلاص الدروس لصانعي السياسات من المستويات المحلية إلى العالمية. يتضمن النهج تقييم التقنيات والممارسات والخدمات والعمليات الذكية مناخياً ذات الصلة بإدارة المخاطر المناخية المحلية ويحدد فرص تحقيق أقصى قدر من مكاسب التكيف من أوجه التآزر عبر التدخلات المختلفة والاعتراف بسوء التكيف والمقايضات المحتملة. ويضمن توافقها مع المعرفة المحلية وربطها بخطط التنمية. تصف هذه الورقة النتائج المبكرة في آسيا وأفريقيا وأمريكا اللاتينية لتوضيح أمثلة مختلفة لنهج CSV في بيئات زراعية إيكولوجية متنوعة. تشير نتائج الدراسات الأولية إلى أن نهج CSV لديه إمكانات عالية لتوسيع نطاق التقنيات والممارسات والخدمات الزراعية الواعدة الذكية مناخياً. تشير الدراسات التناظرية المناخية إلى أن الدروس المستفادة في مواقع CSV ستكون ذات صلة بتخطيط التكيف في جزء كبير من الأراضي الزراعية العالمية حتى في ظل سيناريوهات تغير المناخ. كما تتم مناقشة الحواجز الرئيسية وفرص المزيد من العمل.

In the literature, a lot is discussed about how agroforestry can achieve the mitigation, adaptation and productivity goals of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). However, this may be relatively too broad to assess the trade-offs and synergies of how specific agroforestry technologies or practices achieve the three pillars of CSA. Here, we provide an overview of how improved fallows (an agroforestry technology consisting of planting mainly legume tree/shrub species in rotation with cultivated crops) may achieve the goals of climate-smart agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Our review showed that improved fallow systems have real potential to contribute to food security and climate change mitigation and adaptation in SSA. Under proper management, improved fallows can increase maize yields to about 6 t ha−1, which is comparable to conventional maize yields under fertilization. This is attributed to improved soil fertility and nutrient use efficiency. Although data was generally limited, the growing literature showed that improved fallows increased soil carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse emissions. Further, as a multiple output land use system, improved fallows may increase fodder availability during dry periods and provide substantial biomass for charcoal production. These livelihood options may become important financial safety nets during off seasons or in the event of crop failures. This notwithstanding, the adoption of improved fallows is mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa, where over 20,000 farmers are now using Sesbania sesban, Tephrosia vogelii, and Cajanus cajan in two-year fallows followed by maize rotations. Land tenure issues, lack of social capital, and improved germplasm and accessions of fallow species have been cited as constraints to scaling up. However, development of seed orchards, nursery development, and the willingness of policy makers to create a policy environment that addresses market failures and alleviates disincentives should improve adoption and future scaling up.

Climate change and variability are significant challenges for the environment and food security worldwide. Development strategies focusing simultaneously on adaptive farming, productivity, and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions-known as climate-smart agriculture (CSA) strategies-are key to responding to these challenges. For almost a decade, within the framework of Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), World Agroforestry (ICRAF), and its partners have been using Participatory Action Research (PAR) to fully engage key stakeholders in co-creating such CSA development strategies. This includes the testing of Agricultural Research for Development (AR4D) CSA scalability options. The multidisciplinary teams include the National Research and Extension Systems (NARES), national meteorological services (NMS), non-profit organizations (NGOs), and local radio programs, among others. The CCAFS-West Africa Program, World Agroforestry-West and Central Africa (ICRAF-WCA), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), University of Reading, and Centre Régional de Formation et d'Application en Agro-météorologie et Hydrologie Opérationnelle (AGRHYMET) provide technical backstopping to the national teams. Climate information (CI) was used as an entry point to inform the development of CSA technologies and practices within Climate-Smart Villages (CSV). This groundwork has led to a greater understanding of three critical factors for successful CSV implementation: (1) Building strong partnerships to co-design and develop agricultural systems that improve ecosystem and population resilience, (2) Key stakeholders (researchers, farmers, development agents, and students) capacity strengthening through vocational and academic training, and (3) Using CI for livelihood planning at all scales. These three factors support more effective identification and testing of agricultural technologies and practices addressing climate variability and change at plot, community, and landscape levels. This paper discusses the PAR-CSA methodology and parameters for evaluation, including biophysical and social change. Keys to success, including communication, knowledge sharing tools, and scalability are also discussed. Finally, future opportunities for improvement are presented, including knowledge product development, CSA policy and investment planning, capacity building, further engagement of the private sector, and additional research on existing practices and tools.

La croissance rapide des téléphones mobiles au Ghana a ouvert la possibilité de fournir aux agriculteurs des informations météorologiques et commerciales opportunes et utiles à des coûts inférieurs à ceux des services de vulgarisation agricole traditionnels. Dans cet article, nous évaluons l'utilité, les contraintes et les facteurs susceptibles d'influencer les décisions des agriculteurs de fréquenter les informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur la téléphonie mobile. Nous nous appuyons sur les données primaires de 310 agriculteurs de la région du Haut-Ouest, une partie peu étudiée du Ghana. Nous soumettons les données à trois types d'analyse. Tout d'abord, nous modélisons la décision des agriculteurs de fréquenter les informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur les téléphones mobiles en estimant un modèle logit binaire. Deuxièmement, nous utilisons des statistiques descriptives et des tests d'hypothèses pour analyser le niveau d'utilité des informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur les téléphones mobiles. Nous ventilons l'analyse par sexe, statut de revenu et groupe d'âge. Enfin, nous utilisons l'analyse qualitative pour résumer les contraintes associées à l'utilisation des informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur la téléphonie mobile. Nous constatons que le contact avec les agents de vulgarisation agricole et les services de vulgarisation d'agriculteur à agriculteur influence considérablement la décision des agriculteurs de fréquenter les informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur le téléphone mobile. Indépendamment du sexe, du statut de revenu et du groupe d'âge, les agriculteurs considèrent généralement que les informations météorologiques et les informations sur le marché basées sur le téléphone portable sont très utiles. Nous identifions les informations inexactes, les messages texte complexes, les informations trop coûteuses à mettre en œuvre et les infrastructures médiocres comme les contraintes à l'utilisation des informations météorologiques et du marché basées sur la téléphonie mobile. Afin d'améliorer l'utilisation des informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur les téléphones mobiles, les diffuseurs d'informations basées sur les téléphones mobiles tels qu'Esoko devraient constamment mettre à jour et fournir des informations spécifiques aux clients. L'amélioration des réseaux de téléphonie mobile et des services connexes améliorera l'utilisation des informations météorologiques et du marché basées sur la téléphonie mobile. El rápido crecimiento de los teléfonos móviles en Ghana ha abierto la posibilidad de brindar información meteorológica y de mercado oportuna y útil a los agricultores a costos más bajos que los servicios tradicionales de extensión agrícola. En este documento, evaluamos la utilidad, las limitaciones y los factores que pueden influir en las decisiones de los agricultores de patrocinar la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Nos basamos en datos primarios de 310 agricultores de la región del Alto Oeste, una parte poco estudiada de Ghana. Sometemos los datos a tres tipos de análisis. En primer lugar, modelamos la decisión de los agricultores de patrocinar la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles mediante la estimación de un modelo de registro binario. En segundo lugar, utilizamos estadísticas descriptivas y pruebas de hipótesis para analizar el nivel de utilidad de la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Desglosamos el análisis por sexo, situación económica y grupo de edad. Finalmente, utilizamos el análisis cualitativo para resumir las limitaciones asociadas con la utilización de la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Encontramos que el contacto con los agentes de extensión agrícola y los servicios de extensión de agricultor a agricultor influye significativamente en la decisión de los agricultores de patrocinar la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Independientemente del sexo, el estado de ingresos y el grupo de edad, los agricultores generalmente califican la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles como muy útil. Identificamos información inexacta, mensajes de texto complejos, información demasiado costosa de implementar e infraestructura deficiente como las limitaciones para la utilización de información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Con el fin de mejorar la utilización de la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles, los diseminadores de información basada en teléfonos móviles como Esoko deben actualizar constantemente y proporcionar información específica del cliente. Las mejoras en las redes de telefonía móvil y los servicios relacionados mejorarán la utilización de la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en la telefonía móvil. The rapid growth of mobile phones in Ghana has opened up the possibility of delivering timely and useful weather and market information to farmers at costs lower than traditional agricultural extension services. In this paper, we assess the usefulness, constraints, and factors likely to influence farmers' decisions to patronize mobile phone-based weather and market information. We rely on primary data from 310 farmers in the Upper West Region, an understudied part of Ghana. We subject the data to three types of analysis. First, we model farmers' decision to patronize mobile phone-based weather and market information by estimating a binary logit model. Second, we use descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing to analyse the level of usefulness of mobile phone-based weather and market information. We disaggregate the analysis by sex, income status, and age group. Finally, we use qualitative analysis to summarize the constraints associated with the utilization of mobile phone-based weather and market information. We find that contact with agricultural extension agents and farmer-to-farmer extension services significantly influences farmers' decision to patronize mobile phone-based weather and market information. Regardless of sex, income status, and age group, farmers generally rate mobile phone-based weather and market information as very useful. We identify inexact information, complex text messages, information that are too costly to implement, and poor infrastructure as the constraints to the utilization of mobile phone-based weather and market information. In order to improve the utilization of mobile phone-based weather and market information, disseminators of mobile phone-based information such as Esoko should constantly update and provide client-specific information. Improvements in mobile phone networks and related services will enhance the utilization of mobile phone-based weather and market information. أتاح النمو السريع للهواتف المحمولة في غانا إمكانية تقديم معلومات مفيدة عن الطقس والسوق في الوقت المناسب للمزارعين بتكاليف أقل من خدمات الإرشاد الزراعي التقليدية. في هذه الورقة، نقوم بتقييم الفائدة والقيود والعوامل التي من المحتمل أن تؤثر على قرارات المزارعين لرعاية معلومات الطقس والسوق القائمة على الهاتف المحمول. نحن نعتمد على البيانات الأولية من 310 مزارعين في المنطقة الغربية العليا، وهي جزء غير مدروس من غانا. نخضع البيانات لثلاثة أنواع من التحليل. أولاً، نقوم بنمذجة قرار المزارعين برعاية معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول من خلال تقدير نموذج السجل الثنائي. ثانيًا، نستخدم الإحصاءات الوصفية واختبار الفرضيات لتحليل مستوى فائدة معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول. نقوم بتصنيف التحليل حسب الجنس وحالة الدخل والفئة العمرية. أخيرًا، نستخدم التحليل النوعي لتلخيص القيود المرتبطة باستخدام معلومات الطقس والسوق القائمة على الهاتف المحمول. نجد أن الاتصال مع وكلاء الإرشاد الزراعي وخدمات الإرشاد من مزارع إلى مزارع يؤثر بشكل كبير على قرار المزارعين برعاية معلومات الطقس والأسواق القائمة على الهاتف المحمول. بغض النظر عن الجنس وحالة الدخل والفئة العمرية، يصنف المزارعون عمومًا معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول على أنها مفيدة للغاية. نحن نحدد المعلومات غير الدقيقة والرسائل النصية المعقدة والمعلومات المكلفة للغاية للتنفيذ والبنية التحتية الضعيفة باعتبارها القيود المفروضة على استخدام معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول. من أجل تحسين استخدام معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول، يجب على ناشري المعلومات المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول مثل Esoko تحديث المعلومات الخاصة بالعميل باستمرار وتقديمها. ستعزز التحسينات في شبكات الهاتف المحمول والخدمات ذات الصلة استخدام معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول.

This dataset contains the files produced in the pilot implementation of the “Integrated Monitoring Framework for Climate-Smart Agriculture” in the Lawra-Jirapa Climate Smart Village (Ghana) in October 2017. <br> This monitoring framework developed by CCAFS is meant to be deployed annually across the global network of Climate-Smart Villages to gather field-based evidence by tracking the progress on: <br> <ul> <li>Adoption of CSA practices and technologies, as well as access to climate information services and <li>Their related impacts at household level and farm level <\ul> <br> <ol> The CSA framework allows to address three key research questions: <li value="1"> Who within each CSV community adopts which CSA technologies and practices and which are their motivations, enabling factors? To which extent farmers access and use climate information services? <> <li value="2"> Which are the gender-disaggregated perceived effects of CSA options on farmers’ livelihood, agricultural, food security and adaptive capacity, and on key gender dimensions (participation in decision making, participation in CSA implementation and dis-adoption, control and access over resources and labour). </li> <li value="3"> Which are the CSA performance, synergies and trade-offs found at farm level?</li> </ol> <br> This CSA framework proposes a small set of standard Core Indicators linked to the research questions, and Extended indicators covering aspects related to the enabling environment. <br> <ul> At household level (17 Core indicators): <li type=circle> 7 Core Uptake indicators (they track CSA Implementation and adoption drivers; CSA dis-adoption and drivers; Access to climate information services and agro-advisories, Capacity to use them and constraining factors).</li> <li type=circle> 10 Core Outcome indicators (they track farmers perceptions on the effects of CSA practices on their Livelihoods, Food Security and Adaptive Capacity and on Gender dimensions.</li> <br> Those include namely: CSA effect on yield/production, on Income, on Improved Food Access and Food Diversity, on Vulnerability to weather related shocks and on Changes in agricultural activities induced by access to climate information. Four are Gender related Outcome indicators (Decision-making on CSA implementation or dis-adoption, Participation in CSA implementation, CSA effect on labor, Decision making and control on CSA generated income). <br> <li type=circle> An additional set of complementary Extended indicators allows to determine and track changes in enabling conditions and farmers characteristics such as: Livelihood security, Financial enablers, Food security, Frecuency of climate events, Coping strategies, Risk Mitigation Actions, Access to financial services and Training, CSA Knowledge and Learning.</li> <br> At farm level, 7 CORE indicators: <br> <li type=circle> 7 Core indicators are used to determine the CSA performance of the farms as well as synergies and trade-offs among the three pillars (productivity, adaptation and mitigation, via farm model analysis).</li> <br> This integrated framework is associated with a cost-effective data collection App (Geofarmer) that allowed capturing information in almost real time. <br> The survey questionnaire is structured around different thematic modules (Demographic, Livelihoods, Food Security, Climate events, Climate Services, CSA practices, Financial Services) connected to standard CSA metrics and the specific indicators. Universe: At the time of data collection, all survey participants resided within 7 communities in Lawra Jirapa Village, Ghana (Baazu, Bompari, Doggoh, Jeffiri, Kulkarni, Oribili or Tuori). Implementation was carried out by locally trained enumerators using the Geofarmer Smart Monitoring App for data collection. A total of 357 farmers were interviewed, consisting of 103 adult females and 137 adult males (age 35 or above), 65 young females and 52 young males (under 35). Where possible, two and one young person were surveyed from each household.

De nombreuses projections de l'impact du changement climatique sur les secteurs des cultures, de l'élevage et de la production halieutique de l'agriculture africaine sont rapportées dans la littérature. Cependant, ils peuvent être sans doute trop généraux pour comprendre l'ampleur de l'impact et pour éclairer les stratégies d'adaptation et les efforts d'élaboration de politiques adaptés à la promotion d'une agriculture intelligente face au climat dans la seule région de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Ce document a été synthétisé à partir de plusieurs publications scientifiques et visait à fournir des informations à jour sur les impacts du changement climatique, les stratégies d'adaptation, les politiques et les mécanismes institutionnels que chaque sous-secteur agricole avait mis en place pour faire face au changement climatique et à ses problèmes connexes en Afrique de l'Ouest. Pour chaque sous-secteur (culture, pêche et élevage), l'état actuel, les impacts du changement climatique, les stratégies d'atténuation et d'adaptation ont été analysés. En outre, nous avons examiné les récentes initiatives politiques dans la région qui favorisent le développement et l'adoption d'options agricoles intelligentes face au climat pour améliorer la résilience des systèmes agricoles et les moyens de subsistance des petits exploitants face aux risques liés au changement climatique. Des niveaux communautaire aux niveaux national et régional, diverses stratégies et politiques sont également prises pour guider les actions et les investissements en faveur d'une agriculture intelligente face au climat en Afrique de l'Ouest. En la literatura se informan muchas proyecciones del impacto del cambio climático en los sectores de producción agrícola, ganadera y pesquera de la agricultura africana. Sin embargo, podría decirse que son demasiado generales para comprender la magnitud del impacto y para informar las estrategias de adaptación y los esfuerzos de desarrollo de políticas que se adaptan a la promoción de la agricultura climáticamente inteligente solo en la región de África Occidental. Este documento se sintetizó a partir de varias publicaciones académicas y tenía como objetivo proporcionar información actualizada sobre los impactos del cambio climático, las estrategias de adaptación, las políticas y los mecanismos institucionales que cada subsector agrícola había implementado para abordar el cambio climático y sus problemas relacionados en África Occidental. Para cada subsector (cultivo, pesquería y ganadería), se ha analizado el estado actual, los impactos del cambio climático, las estrategias de mitigación y adaptación. Además, revisamos las iniciativas políticas recientes en la región que fomentan el desarrollo y la adopción de opciones agrícolas climáticamente inteligentes para mejorar la resiliencia de los sistemas agrícolas y los medios de vida de los pequeños agricultores a los riesgos del cambio climático. Desde la comunidad hasta los niveles nacional y regional, también se están adoptando diversas estrategias y políticas para guiar las acciones y la inversión en la agricultura climáticamente inteligente en África Occidental. Many projections of the impact of climate change on the crop, livestock and fishery production sectors of African agriculture are reported in the literature. However, they may be arguably too general to understand the magnitude of impact and to inform adaptation strategies and policy development efforts that are tailored to promoting climate-smart agriculture in the West African region alone. This paper was synthesized from several scholarly literature and aimed at providing up-to-date information on climate change impacts, adaptation strategies, policies and institutional mechanisms that each agriculture subsector had put in place in dealing with climate change and its related issues in West Africa. For each subsector (crop, fishery and livestock), the current status, climate change impacts, mitigation and adaption strategies have been analyzed. In addition, we reviewed recent policy initiatives in the region that foster the development and adoption of climate-smart agricultural options to improve resilience of farming systems and livelihoods of smallholder farmers to climate change risks. From community to national and regional levels, various strategies and policies are also being taken to guide actions and investment for climate-smart agriculture in West Africa. تم الإبلاغ عن العديد من التوقعات لتأثير تغير المناخ على قطاعات إنتاج المحاصيل والثروة الحيوانية والسمكية في الزراعة الأفريقية في الأدبيات. ومع ذلك، قد تكون عامة للغاية لفهم حجم التأثير ولتوجيه استراتيجيات التكيف وجهود وضع السياسات المصممة خصيصًا لتعزيز الزراعة الذكية مناخيًا في منطقة غرب إفريقيا وحدها. تم تجميع هذه الورقة من العديد من المؤلفات العلمية وتهدف إلى توفير معلومات محدثة عن آثار تغير المناخ واستراتيجيات التكيف والسياسات والآليات المؤسسية التي وضعها كل قطاع فرعي زراعي في التعامل مع تغير المناخ والقضايا ذات الصلة به في غرب أفريقيا. بالنسبة لكل قطاع فرعي (المحاصيل ومصائد الأسماك والثروة الحيوانية)، تم تحليل الوضع الحالي وآثار تغير المناخ واستراتيجيات التخفيف والتكيف. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، استعرضنا مبادرات السياسة الأخيرة في المنطقة التي تعزز تطوير واعتماد خيارات زراعية ذكية مناخياً لتحسين مرونة النظم الزراعية وسبل عيش المزارعين أصحاب الحيازات الصغيرة في مواجهة مخاطر تغير المناخ. من المستوى المجتمعي إلى المستوى الوطني والإقليمي، يتم أيضًا اتخاذ استراتيجيات وسياسات مختلفة لتوجيه الإجراءات والاستثمار من أجل الزراعة الذكية مناخيًا في غرب إفريقيا.

West Africa is a very vulnerable part of the world to the impacts of climate change due to a combination of exposure and low adaptive capacity. Climate change has induced an increase in rainfall variability which in turn has affected the availability of water resources, ecosystem services and agricultural production. To adapt to the increased aridity, farmers have used indigenous and modern coping strategies such as soil and water conservation techniques, the use of drought-tolerant crops and varieties, crop diversification, etc., and lately, climate information services (CIS). The latter, according to the discourses, has positively contributed to suitable decision-making in terms of farming, pastoral and fishing management systems. However, the scientific documentation of the engagement approaches, the uptake of the CIS and the ways the delivered information is being used, as well as feedback from the users, is lacking. Additionally, in most of the cases where CIS are introduced, the disconnect between the users and producers of the CIS seems to undercut large-scale uptake. The objective of this paper is to examine the approach used to involve stakeholders in the CIS uptake process in Senegal. We analyzed the experiences and lessons learnt in the country where various CIS products were introduced using participatory methods (stakeholder consultations, interviews, field demonstrations, training workshops, etc.) and innovative stressors (SMS, voice messages, radios, mobile applications, etc.) to effectively involve producers, technicians and policy-makers. Results showed that 16 relevant CIS have been produced out of 27 identified by the various users; 11 CIS diffusion channels have been developed out of 13 requested; 27 climate advisory bodies (MWGs) have been created in 27 districts out of 30 districts in the study zone; about 6800 users have been trained directly and indirectly to effectively use CIS and about 8500 people are receiving CIS via SMS, voice messaging and emails. The opportunities for CIS uptake as well as the challenges that may impede the long-term sustainability of CIS upscaling in the country are highlighted. Recommendations that will improve and sustain the governance system of CIS in Senegal and the rest of West Africa include the involvement of private sectors in the chain of production, delivery and training, and the inciting of producers to largely subscribe to the weather-based index insurance.

Les systèmes alimentaires sont confrontés simultanément à de multiples défis : approvisionnement d'une population croissante, adaptation à des risques de changement climatique plus extrêmes et plus fréquents et réduction de leurs émissions considérables de gaz à effet de serre (GES). Les interventions et les politiques du système alimentaire donnent lieu à des synergies et à des compromis qui émergent au fil du temps en raison de la nature dynamique et des interconnexions des éléments du système. L'analyse de l'ensemble d'un système alimentaire est nécessaire pour identifier les synergies qui apportent des avantages simultanés et atténuent les compromis, à court et à long terme. Notre étude vise à éclairer la transformation durable des systèmes alimentaires en identifiant les synergies et les compromis à court et à long terme dans le village climato-intelligent (CSV) de Lawra-Jirapa dans le nord du Ghana dans le cadre des pratiques, technologies, politiques et tendances actuelles de la croissance démographique, des événements extrêmes et des impacts du changement climatique. Nous développons un modèle de dynamique des systèmes pour simuler le système alimentaire dans le CSV entre 2011 et 2060. Nous appliquons l'approche de l'agriculture intelligente face au climat (AIC) comme outil de diagnostic au système CSV pour révéler les compromis et les synergies à court et à long terme entre les objectifs de l'AIC. Les résultats de la simulation révèlent des progrès à court terme vers l'objectif d'augmentation de la productivité et des revenus, avec des compromis dans les objectifs d'élimination des GES, d'adaptation au climat et de résilience. À long terme, après 2035, les pratiques, technologies et politiques agricoles actuelles à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des limites du CSV entraînent des compromis entre les trois objectifs du CSA, et les progrès réalisés vers ces objectifs sont inversés. Le comportement du système CSV présente donc un schéma « meilleur avant pire ». L'analyse démontre une approche, qui prend en compte simultanément les trois objectifs de l'ASC, pour identifier les synergies et atténuer les compromis dans l'ensemble d'un système alimentaire. Les résultats suggèrent que la compréhension de la dynamique des systèmes alimentaires est un précurseur de leur transformation durable. Cette transformation entraînera des changements dans les objectifs et la structure du système alimentaire en accordant une attention égale aux résultats à court et à long terme. Los sistemas alimentarios enfrentan múltiples desafíos simultáneamente: provisión a una población en crecimiento, adaptación a riesgos de cambio climático más extremos y frecuentes, y reducción de sus considerables emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Las intervenciones y políticas del sistema alimentario dan lugar a sinergias y compensaciones que surgen con el tiempo debido a la naturaleza dinámica y las interconexiones de los elementos del sistema. El análisis de todo un sistema alimentario es necesario para identificar sinergias que aporten beneficios simultáneos y mitiguen las compensaciones, tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Nuestro estudio tiene como objetivo informar la transformación sostenible de los sistemas alimentarios mediante la identificación de sinergias y compensaciones a corto y largo plazo en la aldea climáticamente inteligente (CSV) Lawra-Jirapa en el norte de Ghana bajo las prácticas, tecnologías, políticas y tendencias actuales de crecimiento de la población, eventos extremos e impactos del cambio climático. Desarrollamos un modelo de dinámica de sistemas para simular el sistema alimentario en el CSV entre 2011 y 2060. Aplicamos el enfoque de agricultura climáticamente inteligente (ASAC) como una herramienta de diagnóstico al sistema CSV para revelar las compensaciones y sinergias a corto y largo plazo entre los objetivos de la ASAC. Los resultados de la simulación revelan un progreso a corto plazo hacia el objetivo de aumentar la productividad y los ingresos, con compensaciones en los objetivos de eliminación de GEI, adaptación al clima y resiliencia. A largo plazo, después de 2035, las prácticas, tecnologías y políticas agrícolas actuales dentro y fuera de los límites del CSV dan como resultado compensaciones en los tres objetivos de CSA, y el progreso realizado hacia estos objetivos se invierte. El comportamiento del sistema CSV, por lo tanto, exhibe un patrón de "mejor antes de peor". El análisis demuestra un enfoque, que considera simultáneamente los tres objetivos de ASAC, para identificar sinergias y mitigar las compensaciones en todo un sistema alimentario. Los hallazgos sugieren que la comprensión de la dinámica de los sistemas alimentarios es un precursor de su transformación sostenible. Esta transformación implicará cambios en los objetivos y la estructura del sistema alimentario con la misma atención a los resultados a corto y largo plazo. Food systems face multiple challenges simultaneously: provision to a growing population, adaptation to more extreme and frequent climate change risks, and reduction of their considerable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Food system interventions and policies give rise to synergies and trade-offs that emerge over time due to the dynamic nature and interconnections of system elements. Analysis of an entire food system is necessary to identify synergies that bring simultaneous benefits and mitigate trade-offs, both short- and long-term. Our study aims to inform the sustainable transformation of food systems by identifying short- and long-term synergies and trade-offs in the climate-smart village (CSV) Lawra-Jirapa in northern Ghana under the current practices, technologies, policies, and trends of population growth, extreme events, and climate change impacts. We develop a system dynamics model to simulate the food system in the CSV between 2011 and 2060. We apply the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) approach as a diagnostic tool to the CSV system to reveal the short- and long-term trade-offs and synergies between the CSA goals. The simulation results reveal short-term progress towards the goal of increased productivity and income, with trade-offs in the goals of GHG removal, climate adaptation, and resilience. In the long term, post-2035, current agriculture practices, technologies, and policies inside and outside the CSV boundaries result in trade-offs across all three CSA goals, and progress made towards these goals is reversed. The CSV system behaviour, thus, exhibits a "better before worse" pattern. The analysis demonstrates an approach, which considers simultaneously all three CSA goals, to identify synergies and mitigate trade-offs in an entire food system. The findings suggest that understanding the dynamics of food systems is a precursor to their sustainable transformation. This transformation will entail changes to the food system's goals and structure with equal attention to short- and long-term outcomes. تواجه النظم الغذائية تحديات متعددة في وقت واحد: توفيرها لعدد متزايد من السكان، والتكيف مع مخاطر تغير المناخ الأكثر تطرفًا وتكرارًا، والحد من انبعاثاتها الكبيرة من غازات الدفيئة. تؤدي تدخلات وسياسات النظام الغذائي إلى التآزر والمفاضلات التي تظهر بمرور الوقت بسبب الطبيعة الديناميكية والترابط بين عناصر النظام. يعد تحليل النظام الغذائي بأكمله ضروريًا لتحديد أوجه التآزر التي تحقق فوائد متزامنة وتخفف من المفاضلات، على المدى القصير والطويل. تهدف دراستنا إلى إثراء التحول المستدام للنظم الغذائية من خلال تحديد أوجه التآزر والمفاضلات قصيرة وطويلة الأجل في القرية الذكية مناخياً (CSV) لورا جيرابا في شمال غانا في ظل الممارسات والتقنيات والسياسات والاتجاهات الحالية للنمو السكاني والظواهر المتطرفة وتأثيرات تغير المناخ. نقوم بتطوير نموذج ديناميكيات النظام لمحاكاة النظام الغذائي في CSV بين عامي 2011 و 2060. نطبق نهج الزراعة الذكية مناخيًا (CSA) كأداة تشخيصية لنظام CSV للكشف عن المقايضات والتآزر على المدى القصير والطويل بين أهداف CSA. تكشف نتائج المحاكاة عن تقدم قصير الأجل نحو هدف زيادة الإنتاجية والدخل، مع المفاضلة في أهداف إزالة غازات الدفيئة والتكيف مع المناخ والمرونة. على المدى الطويل، بعد عام 2035، تؤدي الممارسات والتقنيات والسياسات الزراعية الحالية داخل وخارج حدود CSV إلى مقايضات عبر جميع أهداف CSA الثلاثة، ويتم عكس التقدم المحرز نحو تحقيق هذه الأهداف. وبالتالي، يُظهر سلوك نظام CSV نمطًا "أفضل قبل الأسوأ". يوضح التحليل نهجًا، يأخذ في الاعتبار في وقت واحد جميع أهداف CSA الثلاثة، لتحديد أوجه التآزر والتخفيف من المفاضلات في نظام غذائي بأكمله. تشير النتائج إلى أن فهم ديناميكيات النظم الغذائية هو مقدمة لتحولها المستدام. وسيستتبع هذا التحول تغييرات في أهداف النظام الغذائي وهيكله مع إيلاء اهتمام متساوٍ للنتائج القصيرة والطويلة الأجل.

La perspective de genre de l'utilisation de l'information climatique n'est pas bien étudiée, bien qu'elle soit nécessaire pour développer des services d'information climatique (SIC) sensibles au genre. Cette étude a déterminé comment l'utilisation de la SIC par les agriculteurs et agricultrices peut être influencée par leurs perceptions du changement climatique (CC), des activités agricoles et de la démographie. L'étude a été réalisée dans les districts de Lawra-Jirapa de la région du Haut-Ouest du Ghana, où des informations sur les prévisions saisonnières réduites grâce aux technologies de téléphonie mobile (plate-forme Esoko) ont été diffusées aux agriculteurs depuis 2011. Les données ont été recueillies à partir d'entretiens semi-structurés par questionnaire impliquant 900 agriculteurs (50,2 % de femmes et 49,8 % d'hommes) et de quatre groupes de discussion de 20 membres. L'étude a confirmé que 85,2 % (représentant 767) des agriculteurs étaient conscients du changement climatique et de ses implications pour leur agriculture et leurs autres activités de subsistance. Les hommes et les femmes avaient des perceptions similaires du changement climatique, perçus par la majorité comme une augmentation des vents forts, des températures plus élevées, une augmentation de la fréquence des sécheresses, une augmentation de la variabilité des précipitations et une augmentation des inondations. Entre autres facteurs, il était évident que l'utilisation de l'ECI pouvait être influencée par le sexe. Les hommes se sont révélés particulièrement réceptifs à l'adoption de l'utilisation de l'ECI pour l'atténuation des risques climatiques. Cela a été attribué à leur capacité à accéder et à utiliser facilement les appareils téléphoniques par rapport aux femmes. L'étude a révélé que, contrairement aux femmes, les hommes étaient en mesure d'accéder à plus de ressources financières et avaient le contrôle du revenu du ménage, ce qui leur permettait d'acheter des téléphones portables. Les femmes accédaient généralement aux téléphones portables de leurs maris. Malgré les différences d'accès au cis, l'étude a montré que les hommes et les femmes le trouvaient bénéfique pour la prise de décision stratégique agricole, comme le moment de commencer la préparation des terres, le moment de planter et la culture à sélectionner. En outre, les hommes et les femmes ont été confrontés à des contraintes similaires (telles qu'une mauvaise connectivité réseau et une formation limitée) pour accéder et utiliser le cis via la plate-forme Esoko. L'étude recommande la nécessité d'explorer différents canaux de diffusion des SIC et de concevoir des SIC qui répondent aux besoins spécifiques au genre. La perspectiva de género del uso de la información climática no está bien estudiada, aunque es necesaria para desarrollar servicios de información climática (CIS) sensibles al género. Este estudio determinó cómo el uso de CIS por parte de hombres y mujeres agricultores puede verse influenciado por sus percepciones sobre el cambio climático (CC), las actividades agrícolas y la demografía. El estudio se llevó a cabo en los distritos de Lawra-Jirapa de la región del Alto Oeste de Ghana, donde la información de pronóstico estacional a escala reducida a través de tecnologías de telefonía móvil (plataforma Esoko) se había difundido a los agricultores desde 2011. Los datos se recopilaron a partir de entrevistas de cuestionarios semiestructurados que involucraron a 900 agricultores (50.2% mujeres y 49.8% hombres) y cuatro discusiones de grupos focales de 20 miembros. El estudio confirmó que el 85,2% (lo que representa 767) de los agricultores eran conscientes del cambio climático y sus implicaciones para su agricultura y otras actividades de subsistencia. Hombres y mujeres tenían percepciones similares sobre el cambio climático, percibidas por la mayoría como un aumento de los vientos fuertes, temperaturas más altas, mayor frecuencia de sequía, mayor variabilidad de las precipitaciones y mayor inundación. Entre otros factores, fue evidente que el uso de CIS puede estar influenciado por el género. Se descubrió que los hombres son particularmente receptivos al adoptar el uso de CIS para la mitigación del riesgo climático. Esto se atribuyó a su capacidad para acceder y utilizar fácilmente los dispositivos telefónicos en comparación con las mujeres. El estudio reveló que, a diferencia de las mujeres, los hombres podían acceder a más recursos financieros y tenían el control de los ingresos del hogar, lo que les permitía comprar teléfonos móviles. Las mujeres generalmente accedían a los teléfonos móviles de sus maridos. A pesar de las diferencias en el acceso al CIS, el estudio mostró que tanto hombres como mujeres lo encontraron beneficioso para la toma de decisiones estratégicas de las granjas, como cuándo comenzar la preparación de la tierra, cuándo plantar y qué cultivo seleccionar. Además, se descubrió que tanto hombres como mujeres se enfrentaban a limitaciones similares (como una conectividad de red deficiente y una capacitación limitada) para acceder y utilizar el CIS a través de la plataforma Esoko. El estudio recomienda la necesidad de explorar diferentes canales de difusión del CIS y diseñar un CIS que satisfaga las necesidades específicas de género. The gender perspective of climate information use is not well studied although necessary for developing gender-responsive climate information services (CIS). This study determined how CIS use by men and women farmers may be influenced by their perceptions about climate change (CC), farm activities, and demography. The study was carried out at the Lawra-Jirapa Districts of the Upper West Region of Ghana where downscaled seasonal forecast information through mobile phone technologies (Esoko platform) had been disseminated to farmers since 2011. Data was collected from semi-structured questionnaire interviews involving 900 farmers (50.2% women and 49.8% men) and four 20-member focus group discussions. The study confirmed 85.2% (representing 767) farmers were aware of climate change and its implications for their agriculture and other livelihood activities. Men and women had similar perceptions about climate change, perceived by the majority as increased strong winds, higher temperatures, increased frequency of drought, increased rainfall variability and increased flooding. Among other factors, it was evident that use of CIS may be influenced by gender. Men were found to be particularly responsive in adopting CIS use for climate risk mitigation. This was attributed to their ability to easily access and use telephone devices compared with women. The study revealed that unlike women, men were able to access more financial resources and had control of household income which allowed them to purchase mobile phones. Women generally accessed their husbands' mobile phones. Despite differences in access to CIS, the study showed both men and women found it beneficial for strategic farm decision-making such as when to begin land preparation, when to plant, and which crop to select. In addition, both men and women were found to face similar constrains (such as poor network connectivity and limited of training), to accessing and using CIS through the Esoko platform. The study recommends the need to explore different CIS dissemination channels and design CIS that meet gender-specific needs. لم يتم دراسة المنظور الجنساني لاستخدام المعلومات المناخية بشكل جيد على الرغم من أنه ضروري لتطوير خدمات المعلومات المناخية المراعية للمنظور الجنساني (CIS). حددت هذه الدراسة كيف يمكن أن يتأثر استخدام CIS من قبل المزارعين والمزارعات بتصوراتهم حول تغير المناخ (CC) والأنشطة الزراعية والديموغرافيا. أجريت الدراسة في مقاطعات لورا جيرابا في المنطقة الغربية العليا من غانا حيث تم نشر معلومات التنبؤات الموسمية المصغرة من خلال تقنيات الهاتف المحمول (منصة إسوكو) على المزارعين منذ عام 2011. تم جمع البيانات من مقابلات الاستبيان شبه المنظمة التي شملت 900 مزارع (50.2 ٪ من النساء و 49.8 ٪ من الرجال) وأربع مناقشات جماعية مركزة تضم 20 عضوًا. أكدت الدراسة أن 85.2 ٪ (يمثلون 767) مزارعًا على دراية بتغير المناخ وآثاره على زراعتهم وأنشطتهم المعيشية الأخرى. كان لدى الرجال والنساء تصورات مماثلة حول تغير المناخ، والتي تعتبرها الغالبية زيادة الرياح القوية وارتفاع درجات الحرارة وزيادة تواتر الجفاف وزيادة تقلب هطول الأمطار وزيادة الفيضانات. ومن بين العوامل الأخرى، كان من الواضح أن استخدام رابطة الدول المستقلة قد يتأثر بنوع الجنس. وجد أن الرجال يستجيبون بشكل خاص في اعتماد استخدام رابطة الدول المستقلة للتخفيف من مخاطر المناخ. ويعزى ذلك إلى قدرتهم على الوصول بسهولة إلى أجهزة الهاتف واستخدامها مقارنة بالنساء. كشفت الدراسة أنه على عكس النساء، كان الرجال قادرين على الوصول إلى المزيد من الموارد المالية وكان لديهم سيطرة على دخل الأسرة مما سمح لهم بشراء الهواتف المحمولة. تمكنت النساء بشكل عام من الوصول إلى هواتف أزواجهن المحمولة. على الرغم من الاختلافات في الوصول إلى رابطة الدول المستقلة، أظهرت الدراسة أن كل من الرجال والنساء وجدوا أنه من المفيد اتخاذ القرارات الزراعية الاستراتيجية مثل متى يبدأون في إعداد الأراضي، ومتى يزرعون، وأي محصول يختارون. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، وجد أن كل من الرجال والنساء يواجهون قيودًا مماثلة (مثل ضعف الاتصال بالشبكة ومحدودية التدريب)، للوصول إلى CIS واستخدامها من خلال منصة Esoko. توصي الدراسة بالحاجة إلى استكشاف قنوات نشر مختلفة لرابطة الدول المستقلة وتصميم رابطة الدول المستقلة التي تلبي الاحتياجات الخاصة بنوع الجنس.

Abstract Measurement of the likely magnitude of the economic impact of climate change on African agriculture has been a challenge. Using data from a survey of more than 9,000 farmers across 11 African countries, a cross-sectional approach estimates how farm net revenues are affected by climate change compared with current mean temperature. Revenues fall with warming for dryland crops (temperature elasticity of −1.9) and livestock (−5.4), whereas revenues rise for irrigated crops (elasticity of 0.5), which are located in relatively cool parts of Africa and are buffered by irrigation from the effects of warming. At first, warming has little net aggregate effect as the gains for irrigated crops offset the losses for dryland crops and livestock. Warming, however, will likely reduce dryland farm income immedia-tely. The final effects will also depend on changes in precipitation, because revenues from all farm types increase with precipitation. Because irrigated farms are less sensitive to climate, where water is available, irrigation is a practical adaptation to climate change in Africa.

L'augmentation des risques météorologiques menace les systèmes de production agricole et la sécurité alimentaire dans le monde entier. Maintenir la croissance agricole tout en minimisant les chocs climatiques est crucial pour construire un système de production alimentaire résilient et atteindre les objectifs de développement dans les pays vulnérables. Les experts ont proposé plusieurs interventions technologiques, institutionnelles et politiques pour aider les agriculteurs à s'adapter à la variabilité climatique actuelle et future et à atténuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES). Ce document présente le village intelligent face au climat (CSV) comme moyen d'effectuer de la recherche agricole pour le développement qui teste de manière robuste les options technologiques et institutionnelles pour faire face à la variabilité climatique et au changement climatique dans l'agriculture en utilisant des méthodes participatives.Il vise à étendre et à étendre les options appropriées et à tirer des leçons pour les décideurs politiques du niveau local au niveau mondial.L' approche intègre l'évaluation des technologies, des pratiques, des services et des processus climato-intelligents pertinents pour la gestion des risques climatiques locaux et identifie les possibilités de maximiser les gains d'adaptation des synergies entre les différentes interventions et de reconnaître les mésadaptations et les compromis potentiels.Il veille à ce que ceux-ci soient alignés sur les connaissances locales et liés aux plans de développement.Ce document décrit les premiers résultats en Asie., l'Afrique et l'Amérique latine pour illustrer différents exemples de l'approche CSV dans divers contextes agroécologiques. Les résultats des études initiales indiquent que l'approche CSV a un fort potentiel pour étendre les technologies, les pratiques et les services agricoles climato-intelligents prometteurs. Les études analogiques climatiques indiquent que les leçons apprises sur les sites CSV seraient pertinentes pour la planification de l'adaptation dans une grande partie des terres agricoles mondiales, même dans les scénarios de changement climatique. Les principaux obstacles et possibilités de travail ultérieur sont également discutés. El aumento de los riesgos climáticos amenaza los sistemas de producción agrícola y la seguridad alimentaria en todo el mundo. Mantener el crecimiento agrícola y minimizar los impactos climáticos es crucial para construir un sistema de producción de alimentos resiliente y cumplir los objetivos de desarrollo en los países vulnerables. Los expertos han propuesto varias intervenciones tecnológicas, institucionales y políticas para ayudar a los agricultores a adaptarse a la variabilidad climática actual y futura y mitigar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Este documento presenta la aldea climáticamente inteligente (CSV) como un medio para realizar investigación agrícola para el desarrollo que pruebe de manera sólida las opciones tecnológicas e institucionales para hacer frente a la variabilidad climática y el cambio climático en la agricultura utilizando métodos participativos. Su objetivo es ampliar y ampliar las opciones apropiadas y extraer lecciones para los responsables de la formulación de políticas a nivel local y global. El enfoque incorpora la evaluación de tecnologías, prácticas, servicios y procesos climáticamente inteligentes relevantes para la gestión local del riesgo climático e identifica oportunidades para maximizar los beneficios de adaptación de las sinergias en diferentes intervenciones y reconocer posibles inadaptaciones y compensaciones. Se asegura de que estén alineados con el conocimiento local y se vinculen con los planes de desarrollo. Este documento describe los primeros resultados en Asia, África y América Latina para ilustrar diferentes ejemplos del enfoque CSV en diversos entornos agroecológicos. Los resultados de los estudios iniciales indican que el enfoque CSV tiene un alto potencial para ampliar las prometedoras tecnologías, prácticas y servicios agrícolas climáticamente inteligentes. Los estudios analógicos climáticos indican que las lecciones aprendidas en los sitios CSV serían relevantes para la planificación de la adaptación en una gran parte de las tierras agrícolas mundiales, incluso en escenarios de cambio climático. También se discuten las barreras clave y las oportunidades para seguir trabajando. Increasing weather risks threaten agricultural production systems and food security across the world.Maintaining agricultural growth while minimizing climate shocks is crucial to building a resilient food production system and meeting developmental goals in vulnerable countries.Experts have proposed several technological, institutional, and policy interventions to help farmers adapt to current and future weather variability and to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.This paper presents the climate-smart village (CSV) approach as a means of performing agricultural research for development that robustly tests technological and institutional options for dealing with climatic variability and climate change in agriculture using participatory methods.It aims to scale up and scale out the appropriate options and draw out lessons for policy makers from local to global levels.The approach incorporates evaluation of climate-smart technologies, practices, services, and processes relevant to local climatic risk management and identifies opportunities for maximizing adaptation gains from synergies across different interventions and recognizing potential maladaptation and trade-offs.It ensures that these are aligned with local knowledge and link into development plans.This paper describes early results in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to illustrate different examples of the CSV approach in diverse agroecological settings.Results from initial studies indicate that the CSV approach has a high potential for scaling out promising climate-smart agricultural technologies, practices, and services.Climate analog studies indicate that the lessons learned at the CSV sites would be relevant to adaptation planning in a large part of global agricultural land even under scenarios of climate change.Key barriers and opportunities for further work are also discussed. تهدد مخاطر الطقس المتزايدة أنظمة الإنتاج الزراعي والأمن الغذائي في جميع أنحاء العالم. يعد الحفاظ على النمو الزراعي مع تقليل الصدمات المناخية أمرًا بالغ الأهمية لبناء نظام إنتاج غذائي مرن وتحقيق الأهداف الإنمائية في البلدان المعرضة للخطر. اقترح الخبراء العديد من التدخلات التكنولوجية والمؤسسية والسياساتية لمساعدة المزارعين على التكيف مع تقلبات الطقس الحالية والمستقبلية والتخفيف من انبعاثات غازات الدفيئة. تعرض هذه الورقة القرية الذكية مناخيًا (CSV) نهج كوسيلة لإجراء البحوث الزراعية من أجل التنمية التي تختبر بقوة الخيارات التكنولوجية والمؤسسية للتعامل مع التقلبات المناخية وتغير المناخ في الزراعة باستخدام الأساليب التشاركية. ويهدف إلى توسيع نطاق الخيارات المناسبة وتوسيع نطاقها واستخلاص الدروس لصانعي السياسات من المستويات المحلية إلى العالمية. يتضمن النهج تقييم التقنيات والممارسات والخدمات والعمليات الذكية مناخياً ذات الصلة بإدارة المخاطر المناخية المحلية ويحدد فرص تحقيق أقصى قدر من مكاسب التكيف من أوجه التآزر عبر التدخلات المختلفة والاعتراف بسوء التكيف والمقايضات المحتملة. ويضمن توافقها مع المعرفة المحلية وربطها بخطط التنمية. تصف هذه الورقة النتائج المبكرة في آسيا وأفريقيا وأمريكا اللاتينية لتوضيح أمثلة مختلفة لنهج CSV في بيئات زراعية إيكولوجية متنوعة. تشير نتائج الدراسات الأولية إلى أن نهج CSV لديه إمكانات عالية لتوسيع نطاق التقنيات والممارسات والخدمات الزراعية الواعدة الذكية مناخياً. تشير الدراسات التناظرية المناخية إلى أن الدروس المستفادة في مواقع CSV ستكون ذات صلة بتخطيط التكيف في جزء كبير من الأراضي الزراعية العالمية حتى في ظل سيناريوهات تغير المناخ. كما تتم مناقشة الحواجز الرئيسية وفرص المزيد من العمل.

In the literature, a lot is discussed about how agroforestry can achieve the mitigation, adaptation and productivity goals of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). However, this may be relatively too broad to assess the trade-offs and synergies of how specific agroforestry technologies or practices achieve the three pillars of CSA. Here, we provide an overview of how improved fallows (an agroforestry technology consisting of planting mainly legume tree/shrub species in rotation with cultivated crops) may achieve the goals of climate-smart agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Our review showed that improved fallow systems have real potential to contribute to food security and climate change mitigation and adaptation in SSA. Under proper management, improved fallows can increase maize yields to about 6 t ha−1, which is comparable to conventional maize yields under fertilization. This is attributed to improved soil fertility and nutrient use efficiency. Although data was generally limited, the growing literature showed that improved fallows increased soil carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse emissions. Further, as a multiple output land use system, improved fallows may increase fodder availability during dry periods and provide substantial biomass for charcoal production. These livelihood options may become important financial safety nets during off seasons or in the event of crop failures. This notwithstanding, the adoption of improved fallows is mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa, where over 20,000 farmers are now using Sesbania sesban, Tephrosia vogelii, and Cajanus cajan in two-year fallows followed by maize rotations. Land tenure issues, lack of social capital, and improved germplasm and accessions of fallow species have been cited as constraints to scaling up. However, development of seed orchards, nursery development, and the willingness of policy makers to create a policy environment that addresses market failures and alleviates disincentives should improve adoption and future scaling up.

Climate change and variability are significant challenges for the environment and food security worldwide. Development strategies focusing simultaneously on adaptive farming, productivity, and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions-known as climate-smart agriculture (CSA) strategies-are key to responding to these challenges. For almost a decade, within the framework of Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), World Agroforestry (ICRAF), and its partners have been using Participatory Action Research (PAR) to fully engage key stakeholders in co-creating such CSA development strategies. This includes the testing of Agricultural Research for Development (AR4D) CSA scalability options. The multidisciplinary teams include the National Research and Extension Systems (NARES), national meteorological services (NMS), non-profit organizations (NGOs), and local radio programs, among others. The CCAFS-West Africa Program, World Agroforestry-West and Central Africa (ICRAF-WCA), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), University of Reading, and Centre Régional de Formation et d'Application en Agro-météorologie et Hydrologie Opérationnelle (AGRHYMET) provide technical backstopping to the national teams. Climate information (CI) was used as an entry point to inform the development of CSA technologies and practices within Climate-Smart Villages (CSV). This groundwork has led to a greater understanding of three critical factors for successful CSV implementation: (1) Building strong partnerships to co-design and develop agricultural systems that improve ecosystem and population resilience, (2) Key stakeholders (researchers, farmers, development agents, and students) capacity strengthening through vocational and academic training, and (3) Using CI for livelihood planning at all scales. These three factors support more effective identification and testing of agricultural technologies and practices addressing climate variability and change at plot, community, and landscape levels. This paper discusses the PAR-CSA methodology and parameters for evaluation, including biophysical and social change. Keys to success, including communication, knowledge sharing tools, and scalability are also discussed. Finally, future opportunities for improvement are presented, including knowledge product development, CSA policy and investment planning, capacity building, further engagement of the private sector, and additional research on existing practices and tools.

La croissance rapide des téléphones mobiles au Ghana a ouvert la possibilité de fournir aux agriculteurs des informations météorologiques et commerciales opportunes et utiles à des coûts inférieurs à ceux des services de vulgarisation agricole traditionnels. Dans cet article, nous évaluons l'utilité, les contraintes et les facteurs susceptibles d'influencer les décisions des agriculteurs de fréquenter les informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur la téléphonie mobile. Nous nous appuyons sur les données primaires de 310 agriculteurs de la région du Haut-Ouest, une partie peu étudiée du Ghana. Nous soumettons les données à trois types d'analyse. Tout d'abord, nous modélisons la décision des agriculteurs de fréquenter les informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur les téléphones mobiles en estimant un modèle logit binaire. Deuxièmement, nous utilisons des statistiques descriptives et des tests d'hypothèses pour analyser le niveau d'utilité des informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur les téléphones mobiles. Nous ventilons l'analyse par sexe, statut de revenu et groupe d'âge. Enfin, nous utilisons l'analyse qualitative pour résumer les contraintes associées à l'utilisation des informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur la téléphonie mobile. Nous constatons que le contact avec les agents de vulgarisation agricole et les services de vulgarisation d'agriculteur à agriculteur influence considérablement la décision des agriculteurs de fréquenter les informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur le téléphone mobile. Indépendamment du sexe, du statut de revenu et du groupe d'âge, les agriculteurs considèrent généralement que les informations météorologiques et les informations sur le marché basées sur le téléphone portable sont très utiles. Nous identifions les informations inexactes, les messages texte complexes, les informations trop coûteuses à mettre en œuvre et les infrastructures médiocres comme les contraintes à l'utilisation des informations météorologiques et du marché basées sur la téléphonie mobile. Afin d'améliorer l'utilisation des informations météorologiques et de marché basées sur les téléphones mobiles, les diffuseurs d'informations basées sur les téléphones mobiles tels qu'Esoko devraient constamment mettre à jour et fournir des informations spécifiques aux clients. L'amélioration des réseaux de téléphonie mobile et des services connexes améliorera l'utilisation des informations météorologiques et du marché basées sur la téléphonie mobile. El rápido crecimiento de los teléfonos móviles en Ghana ha abierto la posibilidad de brindar información meteorológica y de mercado oportuna y útil a los agricultores a costos más bajos que los servicios tradicionales de extensión agrícola. En este documento, evaluamos la utilidad, las limitaciones y los factores que pueden influir en las decisiones de los agricultores de patrocinar la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Nos basamos en datos primarios de 310 agricultores de la región del Alto Oeste, una parte poco estudiada de Ghana. Sometemos los datos a tres tipos de análisis. En primer lugar, modelamos la decisión de los agricultores de patrocinar la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles mediante la estimación de un modelo de registro binario. En segundo lugar, utilizamos estadísticas descriptivas y pruebas de hipótesis para analizar el nivel de utilidad de la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Desglosamos el análisis por sexo, situación económica y grupo de edad. Finalmente, utilizamos el análisis cualitativo para resumir las limitaciones asociadas con la utilización de la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Encontramos que el contacto con los agentes de extensión agrícola y los servicios de extensión de agricultor a agricultor influye significativamente en la decisión de los agricultores de patrocinar la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Independientemente del sexo, el estado de ingresos y el grupo de edad, los agricultores generalmente califican la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles como muy útil. Identificamos información inexacta, mensajes de texto complejos, información demasiado costosa de implementar e infraestructura deficiente como las limitaciones para la utilización de información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles. Con el fin de mejorar la utilización de la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en teléfonos móviles, los diseminadores de información basada en teléfonos móviles como Esoko deben actualizar constantemente y proporcionar información específica del cliente. Las mejoras en las redes de telefonía móvil y los servicios relacionados mejorarán la utilización de la información meteorológica y de mercado basada en la telefonía móvil. The rapid growth of mobile phones in Ghana has opened up the possibility of delivering timely and useful weather and market information to farmers at costs lower than traditional agricultural extension services. In this paper, we assess the usefulness, constraints, and factors likely to influence farmers' decisions to patronize mobile phone-based weather and market information. We rely on primary data from 310 farmers in the Upper West Region, an understudied part of Ghana. We subject the data to three types of analysis. First, we model farmers' decision to patronize mobile phone-based weather and market information by estimating a binary logit model. Second, we use descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing to analyse the level of usefulness of mobile phone-based weather and market information. We disaggregate the analysis by sex, income status, and age group. Finally, we use qualitative analysis to summarize the constraints associated with the utilization of mobile phone-based weather and market information. We find that contact with agricultural extension agents and farmer-to-farmer extension services significantly influences farmers' decision to patronize mobile phone-based weather and market information. Regardless of sex, income status, and age group, farmers generally rate mobile phone-based weather and market information as very useful. We identify inexact information, complex text messages, information that are too costly to implement, and poor infrastructure as the constraints to the utilization of mobile phone-based weather and market information. In order to improve the utilization of mobile phone-based weather and market information, disseminators of mobile phone-based information such as Esoko should constantly update and provide client-specific information. Improvements in mobile phone networks and related services will enhance the utilization of mobile phone-based weather and market information. أتاح النمو السريع للهواتف المحمولة في غانا إمكانية تقديم معلومات مفيدة عن الطقس والسوق في الوقت المناسب للمزارعين بتكاليف أقل من خدمات الإرشاد الزراعي التقليدية. في هذه الورقة، نقوم بتقييم الفائدة والقيود والعوامل التي من المحتمل أن تؤثر على قرارات المزارعين لرعاية معلومات الطقس والسوق القائمة على الهاتف المحمول. نحن نعتمد على البيانات الأولية من 310 مزارعين في المنطقة الغربية العليا، وهي جزء غير مدروس من غانا. نخضع البيانات لثلاثة أنواع من التحليل. أولاً، نقوم بنمذجة قرار المزارعين برعاية معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول من خلال تقدير نموذج السجل الثنائي. ثانيًا، نستخدم الإحصاءات الوصفية واختبار الفرضيات لتحليل مستوى فائدة معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول. نقوم بتصنيف التحليل حسب الجنس وحالة الدخل والفئة العمرية. أخيرًا، نستخدم التحليل النوعي لتلخيص القيود المرتبطة باستخدام معلومات الطقس والسوق القائمة على الهاتف المحمول. نجد أن الاتصال مع وكلاء الإرشاد الزراعي وخدمات الإرشاد من مزارع إلى مزارع يؤثر بشكل كبير على قرار المزارعين برعاية معلومات الطقس والأسواق القائمة على الهاتف المحمول. بغض النظر عن الجنس وحالة الدخل والفئة العمرية، يصنف المزارعون عمومًا معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول على أنها مفيدة للغاية. نحن نحدد المعلومات غير الدقيقة والرسائل النصية المعقدة والمعلومات المكلفة للغاية للتنفيذ والبنية التحتية الضعيفة باعتبارها القيود المفروضة على استخدام معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول. من أجل تحسين استخدام معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول، يجب على ناشري المعلومات المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول مثل Esoko تحديث المعلومات الخاصة بالعميل باستمرار وتقديمها. ستعزز التحسينات في شبكات الهاتف المحمول والخدمات ذات الصلة استخدام معلومات الطقس والسوق المستندة إلى الهاتف المحمول.

This dataset contains the files produced in the pilot implementation of the “Integrated Monitoring Framework for Climate-Smart Agriculture” in the Lawra-Jirapa Climate Smart Village (Ghana) in October 2017. <br> This monitoring framework developed by CCAFS is meant to be deployed annually across the global network of Climate-Smart Villages to gather field-based evidence by tracking the progress on: <br> <ul> <li>Adoption of CSA practices and technologies, as well as access to climate information services and <li>Their related impacts at household level and farm level <\ul> <br> <ol> The CSA framework allows to address three key research questions: <li value="1"> Who within each CSV community adopts which CSA technologies and practices and which are their motivations, enabling factors? To which extent farmers access and use climate information services? <> <li value="2"> Which are the gender-disaggregated perceived effects of CSA options on farmers’ livelihood, agricultural, food security and adaptive capacity, and on key gender dimensions (participation in decision making, participation in CSA implementation and dis-adoption, control and access over resources and labour). </li> <li value="3"> Which are the CSA performance, synergies and trade-offs found at farm level?</li> </ol> <br> This CSA framework proposes a small set of standard Core Indicators linked to the research questions, and Extended indicators covering aspects related to the enabling environment. <br> <ul> At household level (17 Core indicators): <li type=circle> 7 Core Uptake indicators (they track CSA Implementation and adoption drivers; CSA dis-adoption and drivers; Access to climate information services and agro-advisories, Capacity to use them and constraining factors).</li> <li type=circle> 10 Core Outcome indicators (they track farmers perceptions on the effects of CSA practices on their Livelihoods, Food Security and Adaptive Capacity and on Gender dimensions.</li> <br> Those include namely: CSA effect on yield/production, on Income, on Improved Food Access and Food Diversity, on Vulnerability to weather related shocks and on Changes in agricultural activities induced by access to climate information. Four are Gender related Outcome indicators (Decision-making on CSA implementation or dis-adoption, Participation in CSA implementation, CSA effect on labor, Decision making and control on CSA generated income). <br> <li type=circle> An additional set of complementary Extended indicators allows to determine and track changes in enabling conditions and farmers characteristics such as: Livelihood security, Financial enablers, Food security, Frecuency of climate events, Coping strategies, Risk Mitigation Actions, Access to financial services and Training, CSA Knowledge and Learning.</li> <br> At farm level, 7 CORE indicators: <br> <li type=circle> 7 Core indicators are used to determine the CSA performance of the farms as well as synergies and trade-offs among the three pillars (productivity, adaptation and mitigation, via farm model analysis).</li> <br> This integrated framework is associated with a cost-effective data collection App (Geofarmer) that allowed capturing information in almost real time. <br> The survey questionnaire is structured around different thematic modules (Demographic, Livelihoods, Food Security, Climate events, Climate Services, CSA practices, Financial Services) connected to standard CSA metrics and the specific indicators. Universe: At the time of data collection, all survey participants resided within 7 communities in Lawra Jirapa Village, Ghana (Baazu, Bompari, Doggoh, Jeffiri, Kulkarni, Oribili or Tuori). Implementation was carried out by locally trained enumerators using the Geofarmer Smart Monitoring App for data collection. A total of 357 farmers were interviewed, consisting of 103 adult females and 137 adult males (age 35 or above), 65 young females and 52 young males (under 35). Where possible, two and one young person were surveyed from each household.

De nombreuses projections de l'impact du changement climatique sur les secteurs des cultures, de l'élevage et de la production halieutique de l'agriculture africaine sont rapportées dans la littérature. Cependant, ils peuvent être sans doute trop généraux pour comprendre l'ampleur de l'impact et pour éclairer les stratégies d'adaptation et les efforts d'élaboration de politiques adaptés à la promotion d'une agriculture intelligente face au climat dans la seule région de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Ce document a été synthétisé à partir de plusieurs publications scientifiques et visait à fournir des informations à jour sur les impacts du changement climatique, les stratégies d'adaptation, les politiques et les mécanismes institutionnels que chaque sous-secteur agricole avait mis en place pour faire face au changement climatique et à ses problèmes connexes en Afrique de l'Ouest. Pour chaque sous-secteur (culture, pêche et élevage), l'état actuel, les impacts du changement climatique, les stratégies d'atténuation et d'adaptation ont été analysés. En outre, nous avons examiné les récentes initiatives politiques dans la région qui favorisent le développement et l'adoption d'options agricoles intelligentes face au climat pour améliorer la résilience des systèmes agricoles et les moyens de subsistance des petits exploitants face aux risques liés au changement climatique. Des niveaux communautaire aux niveaux national et régional, diverses stratégies et politiques sont également prises pour guider les actions et les investissements en faveur d'une agriculture intelligente face au climat en Afrique de l'Ouest. En la literatura se informan muchas proyecciones del impacto del cambio climático en los sectores de producción agrícola, ganadera y pesquera de la agricultura africana. Sin embargo, podría decirse que son demasiado generales para comprender la magnitud del impacto y para informar las estrategias de adaptación y los esfuerzos de desarrollo de políticas que se adaptan a la promoción de la agricultura climáticamente inteligente solo en la región de África Occidental. Este documento se sintetizó a partir de varias publicaciones académicas y tenía como objetivo proporcionar información actualizada sobre los impactos del cambio climático, las estrategias de adaptación, las políticas y los mecanismos institucionales que cada subsector agrícola había implementado para abordar el cambio climático y sus problemas relacionados en África Occidental. Para cada subsector (cultivo, pesquería y ganadería), se ha analizado el estado actual, los impactos del cambio climático, las estrategias de mitigación y adaptación. Además, revisamos las iniciativas políticas recientes en la región que fomentan el desarrollo y la adopción de opciones agrícolas climáticamente inteligentes para mejorar la resiliencia de los sistemas agrícolas y los medios de vida de los pequeños agricultores a los riesgos del cambio climático. Desde la comunidad hasta los niveles nacional y regional, también se están adoptando diversas estrategias y políticas para guiar las acciones y la inversión en la agricultura climáticamente inteligente en África Occidental. Many projections of the impact of climate change on the crop, livestock and fishery production sectors of African agriculture are reported in the literature. However, they may be arguably too general to understand the magnitude of impact and to inform adaptation strategies and policy development efforts that are tailored to promoting climate-smart agriculture in the West African region alone. This paper was synthesized from several scholarly literature and aimed at providing up-to-date information on climate change impacts, adaptation strategies, policies and institutional mechanisms that each agriculture subsector had put in place in dealing with climate change and its related issues in West Africa. For each subsector (crop, fishery and livestock), the current status, climate change impacts, mitigation and adaption strategies have been analyzed. In addition, we reviewed recent policy initiatives in the region that foster the development and adoption of climate-smart agricultural options to improve resilience of farming systems and livelihoods of smallholder farmers to climate change risks. From community to national and regional levels, various strategies and policies are also being taken to guide actions and investment for climate-smart agriculture in West Africa. تم الإبلاغ عن العديد من التوقعات لتأثير تغير المناخ على قطاعات إنتاج المحاصيل والثروة الحيوانية والسمكية في الزراعة الأفريقية في الأدبيات. ومع ذلك، قد تكون عامة للغاية لفهم حجم التأثير ولتوجيه استراتيجيات التكيف وجهود وضع السياسات المصممة خصيصًا لتعزيز الزراعة الذكية مناخيًا في منطقة غرب إفريقيا وحدها. تم تجميع هذه الورقة من العديد من المؤلفات العلمية وتهدف إلى توفير معلومات محدثة عن آثار تغير المناخ واستراتيجيات التكيف والسياسات والآليات المؤسسية التي وضعها كل قطاع فرعي زراعي في التعامل مع تغير المناخ والقضايا ذات الصلة به في غرب أفريقيا. بالنسبة لكل قطاع فرعي (المحاصيل ومصائد الأسماك والثروة الحيوانية)، تم تحليل الوضع الحالي وآثار تغير المناخ واستراتيجيات التخفيف والتكيف. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، استعرضنا مبادرات السياسة الأخيرة في المنطقة التي تعزز تطوير واعتماد خيارات زراعية ذكية مناخياً لتحسين مرونة النظم الزراعية وسبل عيش المزارعين أصحاب الحيازات الصغيرة في مواجهة مخاطر تغير المناخ. من المستوى المجتمعي إلى المستوى الوطني والإقليمي، يتم أيضًا اتخاذ استراتيجيات وسياسات مختلفة لتوجيه الإجراءات والاستثمار من أجل الزراعة الذكية مناخيًا في غرب إفريقيا.

West Africa is a very vulnerable part of the world to the impacts of climate change due to a combination of exposure and low adaptive capacity. Climate change has induced an increase in rainfall variability which in turn has affected the availability of water resources, ecosystem services and agricultural production. To adapt to the increased aridity, farmers have used indigenous and modern coping strategies such as soil and water conservation techniques, the use of drought-tolerant crops and varieties, crop diversification, etc., and lately, climate information services (CIS). The latter, according to the discourses, has positively contributed to suitable decision-making in terms of farming, pastoral and fishing management systems. However, the scientific documentation of the engagement approaches, the uptake of the CIS and the ways the delivered information is being used, as well as feedback from the users, is lacking. Additionally, in most of the cases where CIS are introduced, the disconnect between the users and producers of the CIS seems to undercut large-scale uptake. The objective of this paper is to examine the approach used to involve stakeholders in the CIS uptake process in Senegal. We analyzed the experiences and lessons learnt in the country where various CIS products were introduced using participatory methods (stakeholder consultations, interviews, field demonstrations, training workshops, etc.) and innovative stressors (SMS, voice messages, radios, mobile applications, etc.) to effectively involve producers, technicians and policy-makers. Results showed that 16 relevant CIS have been produced out of 27 identified by the various users; 11 CIS diffusion channels have been developed out of 13 requested; 27 climate advisory bodies (MWGs) have been created in 27 districts out of 30 districts in the study zone; about 6800 users have been trained directly and indirectly to effectively use CIS and about 8500 people are receiving CIS via SMS, voice messaging and emails. The opportunities for CIS uptake as well as the challenges that may impede the long-term sustainability of CIS upscaling in the country are highlighted. Recommendations that will improve and sustain the governance system of CIS in Senegal and the rest of West Africa include the involvement of private sectors in the chain of production, delivery and training, and the inciting of producers to largely subscribe to the weather-based index insurance.

Les systèmes alimentaires sont confrontés simultanément à de multiples défis : approvisionnement d'une population croissante, adaptation à des risques de changement climatique plus extrêmes et plus fréquents et réduction de leurs émissions considérables de gaz à effet de serre (GES). Les interventions et les politiques du système alimentaire donnent lieu à des synergies et à des compromis qui émergent au fil du temps en raison de la nature dynamique et des interconnexions des éléments du système. L'analyse de l'ensemble d'un système alimentaire est nécessaire pour identifier les synergies qui apportent des avantages simultanés et atténuent les compromis, à court et à long terme. Notre étude vise à éclairer la transformation durable des systèmes alimentaires en identifiant les synergies et les compromis à court et à long terme dans le village climato-intelligent (CSV) de Lawra-Jirapa dans le nord du Ghana dans le cadre des pratiques, technologies, politiques et tendances actuelles de la croissance démographique, des événements extrêmes et des impacts du changement climatique. Nous développons un modèle de dynamique des systèmes pour simuler le système alimentaire dans le CSV entre 2011 et 2060. Nous appliquons l'approche de l'agriculture intelligente face au climat (AIC) comme outil de diagnostic au système CSV pour révéler les compromis et les synergies à court et à long terme entre les objectifs de l'AIC. Les résultats de la simulation révèlent des progrès à court terme vers l'objectif d'augmentation de la productivité et des revenus, avec des compromis dans les objectifs d'élimination des GES, d'adaptation au climat et de résilience. À long terme, après 2035, les pratiques, technologies et politiques agricoles actuelles à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des limites du CSV entraînent des compromis entre les trois objectifs du CSA, et les progrès réalisés vers ces objectifs sont inversés. Le comportement du système CSV présente donc un schéma « meilleur avant pire ». L'analyse démontre une approche, qui prend en compte simultanément les trois objectifs de l'ASC, pour identifier les synergies et atténuer les compromis dans l'ensemble d'un système alimentaire. Les résultats suggèrent que la compréhension de la dynamique des systèmes alimentaires est un précurseur de leur transformation durable. Cette transformation entraînera des changements dans les objectifs et la structure du système alimentaire en accordant une attention égale aux résultats à court et à long terme. Los sistemas alimentarios enfrentan múltiples desafíos simultáneamente: provisión a una población en crecimiento, adaptación a riesgos de cambio climático más extremos y frecuentes, y reducción de sus considerables emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Las intervenciones y políticas del sistema alimentario dan lugar a sinergias y compensaciones que surgen con el tiempo debido a la naturaleza dinámica y las interconexiones de los elementos del sistema. El análisis de todo un sistema alimentario es necesario para identificar sinergias que aporten beneficios simultáneos y mitiguen las compensaciones, tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Nuestro estudio tiene como objetivo informar la transformación sostenible de los sistemas alimentarios mediante la identificación de sinergias y compensaciones a corto y largo plazo en la aldea climáticamente inteligente (CSV) Lawra-Jirapa en el norte de Ghana bajo las prácticas, tecnologías, políticas y tendencias actuales de crecimiento de la población, eventos extremos e impactos del cambio climático. Desarrollamos un modelo de dinámica de sistemas para simular el sistema alimentario en el CSV entre 2011 y 2060. Aplicamos el enfoque de agricultura climáticamente inteligente (ASAC) como una herramienta de diagnóstico al sistema CSV para revelar las compensaciones y sinergias a corto y largo plazo entre los objetivos de la ASAC. Los resultados de la simulación revelan un progreso a corto plazo hacia el objetivo de aumentar la productividad y los ingresos, con compensaciones en los objetivos de eliminación de GEI, adaptación al clima y resiliencia. A largo plazo, después de 2035, las prácticas, tecnologías y políticas agrícolas actuales dentro y fuera de los límites del CSV dan como resultado compensaciones en los tres objetivos de CSA, y el progreso realizado hacia estos objetivos se invierte. El comportamiento del sistema CSV, por lo tanto, exhibe un patrón de "mejor antes de peor". El análisis demuestra un enfoque, que considera simultáneamente los tres objetivos de ASAC, para identificar sinergias y mitigar las compensaciones en todo un sistema alimentario. Los hallazgos sugieren que la comprensión de la dinámica de los sistemas alimentarios es un precursor de su transformación sostenible. Esta transformación implicará cambios en los objetivos y la estructura del sistema alimentario con la misma atención a los resultados a corto y largo plazo. Food systems face multiple challenges simultaneously: provision to a growing population, adaptation to more extreme and frequent climate change risks, and reduction of their considerable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Food system interventions and policies give rise to synergies and trade-offs that emerge over time due to the dynamic nature and interconnections of system elements. Analysis of an entire food system is necessary to identify synergies that bring simultaneous benefits and mitigate trade-offs, both short- and long-term. Our study aims to inform the sustainable transformation of food systems by identifying short- and long-term synergies and trade-offs in the climate-smart village (CSV) Lawra-Jirapa in northern Ghana under the current practices, technologies, policies, and trends of population growth, extreme events, and climate change impacts. We develop a system dynamics model to simulate the food system in the CSV between 2011 and 2060. We apply the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) approach as a diagnostic tool to the CSV system to reveal the short- and long-term trade-offs and synergies between the CSA goals. The simulation results reveal short-term progress towards the goal of increased productivity and income, with trade-offs in the goals of GHG removal, climate adaptation, and resilience. In the long term, post-2035, current agriculture practices, technologies, and policies inside and outside the CSV boundaries result in trade-offs across all three CSA goals, and progress made towards these goals is reversed. The CSV system behaviour, thus, exhibits a "better before worse" pattern. The analysis demonstrates an approach, which considers simultaneously all three CSA goals, to identify synergies and mitigate trade-offs in an entire food system. The findings suggest that understanding the dynamics of food systems is a precursor to their sustainable transformation. This transformation will entail changes to the food system's goals and structure with equal attention to short- and long-term outcomes. تواجه النظم الغذائية تحديات متعددة في وقت واحد: توفيرها لعدد متزايد من السكان، والتكيف مع مخاطر تغير المناخ الأكثر تطرفًا وتكرارًا، والحد من انبعاثاتها الكبيرة من غازات الدفيئة. تؤدي تدخلات وسياسات النظام الغذائي إلى التآزر والمفاضلات التي تظهر بمرور الوقت بسبب الطبيعة الديناميكية والترابط بين عناصر النظام. يعد تحليل النظام الغذائي بأكمله ضروريًا لتحديد أوجه التآزر التي تحقق فوائد متزامنة وتخفف من المفاضلات، على المدى القصير والطويل. تهدف دراستنا إلى إثراء التحول المستدام للنظم الغذائية من خلال تحديد أوجه التآزر والمفاضلات قصيرة وطويلة الأجل في القرية الذكية مناخياً (CSV) لورا جيرابا في شمال غانا في ظل الممارسات والتقنيات والسياسات والاتجاهات الحالية للنمو السكاني والظواهر المتطرفة وتأثيرات تغير المناخ. نقوم بتطوير نموذج ديناميكيات النظام لمحاكاة النظام الغذائي في CSV بين عامي 2011 و 2060. نطبق نهج الزراعة الذكية مناخيًا (CSA) كأداة تشخيصية لنظام CSV للكشف عن المقايضات والتآزر على المدى القصير والطويل بين أهداف CSA. تكشف نتائج المحاكاة عن تقدم قصير الأجل نحو هدف زيادة الإنتاجية والدخل، مع المفاضلة في أهداف إزالة غازات الدفيئة والتكيف مع المناخ والمرونة. على المدى الطويل، بعد عام 2035، تؤدي الممارسات والتقنيات والسياسات الزراعية الحالية داخل وخارج حدود CSV إلى مقايضات عبر جميع أهداف CSA الثلاثة، ويتم عكس التقدم المحرز نحو تحقيق هذه الأهداف. وبالتالي، يُظهر سلوك نظام CSV نمطًا "أفضل قبل الأسوأ". يوضح التحليل نهجًا، يأخذ في الاعتبار في وقت واحد جميع أهداف CSA الثلاثة، لتحديد أوجه التآزر والتخفيف من المفاضلات في نظام غذائي بأكمله. تشير النتائج إلى أن فهم ديناميكيات النظم الغذائية هو مقدمة لتحولها المستدام. وسيستتبع هذا التحول تغييرات في أهداف النظام الغذائي وهيكله مع إيلاء اهتمام متساوٍ للنتائج القصيرة والطويلة الأجل.

La perspective de genre de l'utilisation de l'information climatique n'est pas bien étudiée, bien qu'elle soit nécessaire pour développer des services d'information climatique (SIC) sensibles au genre. Cette étude a déterminé comment l'utilisation de la SIC par les agriculteurs et agricultrices peut être influencée par leurs perceptions du changement climatique (CC), des activités agricoles et de la démographie. L'étude a été réalisée dans les districts de Lawra-Jirapa de la région du Haut-Ouest du Ghana, où des informations sur les prévisions saisonnières réduites grâce aux technologies de téléphonie mobile (plate-forme Esoko) ont été diffusées aux agriculteurs depuis 2011. Les données ont été recueillies à partir d'entretiens semi-structurés par questionnaire impliquant 900 agriculteurs (50,2 % de femmes et 49,8 % d'hommes) et de quatre groupes de discussion de 20 membres. L'étude a confirmé que 85,2 % (représentant 767) des agriculteurs étaient conscients du changement climatique et de ses implications pour leur agriculture et leurs autres activités de subsistance. Les hommes et les femmes avaient des perceptions similaires du changement climatique, perçus par la majorité comme une augmentation des vents forts, des températures plus élevées, une augmentation de la fréquence des sécheresses, une augmentation de la variabilité des précipitations et une augmentation des inondations. Entre autres facteurs, il était évident que l'utilisation de l'ECI pouvait être influencée par le sexe. Les hommes se sont révélés particulièrement réceptifs à l'adoption de l'utilisation de l'ECI pour l'atténuation des risques climatiques. Cela a été attribué à leur capacité à accéder et à utiliser facilement les appareils téléphoniques par rapport aux femmes. L'étude a révélé que, contrairement aux femmes, les hommes étaient en mesure d'accéder à plus de ressources financières et avaient le contrôle du revenu du ménage, ce qui leur permettait d'acheter des téléphones portables. Les femmes accédaient généralement aux téléphones portables de leurs maris. Malgré les différences d'accès au cis, l'étude a montré que les hommes et les femmes le trouvaient bénéfique pour la prise de décision stratégique agricole, comme le moment de commencer la préparation des terres, le moment de planter et la culture à sélectionner. En outre, les hommes et les femmes ont été confrontés à des contraintes similaires (telles qu'une mauvaise connectivité réseau et une formation limitée) pour accéder et utiliser le cis via la plate-forme Esoko. L'étude recommande la nécessité d'explorer différents canaux de diffusion des SIC et de concevoir des SIC qui répondent aux besoins spécifiques au genre. La perspectiva de género del uso de la información climática no está bien estudiada, aunque es necesaria para desarrollar servicios de información climática (CIS) sensibles al género. Este estudio determinó cómo el uso de CIS por parte de hombres y mujeres agricultores puede verse influenciado por sus percepciones sobre el cambio climático (CC), las actividades agrícolas y la demografía. El estudio se llevó a cabo en los distritos de Lawra-Jirapa de la región del Alto Oeste de Ghana, donde la información de pronóstico estacional a escala reducida a través de tecnologías de telefonía móvil (plataforma Esoko) se había difundido a los agricultores desde 2011. Los datos se recopilaron a partir de entrevistas de cuestionarios semiestructurados que involucraron a 900 agricultores (50.2% mujeres y 49.8% hombres) y cuatro discusiones de grupos focales de 20 miembros. El estudio confirmó que el 85,2% (lo que representa 767) de los agricultores eran conscientes del cambio climático y sus implicaciones para su agricultura y otras actividades de subsistencia. Hombres y mujeres tenían percepciones similares sobre el cambio climático, percibidas por la mayoría como un aumento de los vientos fuertes, temperaturas más altas, mayor frecuencia de sequía, mayor variabilidad de las precipitaciones y mayor inundación. Entre otros factores, fue evidente que el uso de CIS puede estar influenciado por el género. Se descubrió que los hombres son particularmente receptivos al adoptar el uso de CIS para la mitigación del riesgo climático. Esto se atribuyó a su capacidad para acceder y utilizar fácilmente los dispositivos telefónicos en comparación con las mujeres. El estudio reveló que, a diferencia de las mujeres, los hombres podían acceder a más recursos financieros y tenían el control de los ingresos del hogar, lo que les permitía comprar teléfonos móviles. Las mujeres generalmente accedían a los teléfonos móviles de sus maridos. A pesar de las diferencias en el acceso al CIS, el estudio mostró que tanto hombres como mujeres lo encontraron beneficioso para la toma de decisiones estratégicas de las granjas, como cuándo comenzar la preparación de la tierra, cuándo plantar y qué cultivo seleccionar. Además, se descubrió que tanto hombres como mujeres se enfrentaban a limitaciones similares (como una conectividad de red deficiente y una capacitación limitada) para acceder y utilizar el CIS a través de la plataforma Esoko. El estudio recomienda la necesidad de explorar diferentes canales de difusión del CIS y diseñar un CIS que satisfaga las necesidades específicas de género. The gender perspective of climate information use is not well studied although necessary for developing gender-responsive climate information services (CIS). This study determined how CIS use by men and women farmers may be influenced by their perceptions about climate change (CC), farm activities, and demography. The study was carried out at the Lawra-Jirapa Districts of the Upper West Region of Ghana where downscaled seasonal forecast information through mobile phone technologies (Esoko platform) had been disseminated to farmers since 2011. Data was collected from semi-structured questionnaire interviews involving 900 farmers (50.2% women and 49.8% men) and four 20-member focus group discussions. The study confirmed 85.2% (representing 767) farmers were aware of climate change and its implications for their agriculture and other livelihood activities. Men and women had similar perceptions about climate change, perceived by the majority as increased strong winds, higher temperatures, increased frequency of drought, increased rainfall variability and increased flooding. Among other factors, it was evident that use of CIS may be influenced by gender. Men were found to be particularly responsive in adopting CIS use for climate risk mitigation. This was attributed to their ability to easily access and use telephone devices compared with women. The study revealed that unlike women, men were able to access more financial resources and had control of household income which allowed them to purchase mobile phones. Women generally accessed their husbands' mobile phones. Despite differences in access to CIS, the study showed both men and women found it beneficial for strategic farm decision-making such as when to begin land preparation, when to plant, and which crop to select. In addition, both men and women were found to face similar constrains (such as poor network connectivity and limited of training), to accessing and using CIS through the Esoko platform. The study recommends the need to explore different CIS dissemination channels and design CIS that meet gender-specific needs. لم يتم دراسة المنظور الجنساني لاستخدام المعلومات المناخية بشكل جيد على الرغم من أنه ضروري لتطوير خدمات المعلومات المناخية المراعية للمنظور الجنساني (CIS). حددت هذه الدراسة كيف يمكن أن يتأثر استخدام CIS من قبل المزارعين والمزارعات بتصوراتهم حول تغير المناخ (CC) والأنشطة الزراعية والديموغرافيا. أجريت الدراسة في مقاطعات لورا جيرابا في المنطقة الغربية العليا من غانا حيث تم نشر معلومات التنبؤات الموسمية المصغرة من خلال تقنيات الهاتف المحمول (منصة إسوكو) على المزارعين منذ عام 2011. تم جمع البيانات من مقابلات الاستبيان شبه المنظمة التي شملت 900 مزارع (50.2 ٪ من النساء و 49.8 ٪ من الرجال) وأربع مناقشات جماعية مركزة تضم 20 عضوًا. أكدت الدراسة أن 85.2 ٪ (يمثلون 767) مزارعًا على دراية بتغير المناخ وآثاره على زراعتهم وأنشطتهم المعيشية الأخرى. كان لدى الرجال والنساء تصورات مماثلة حول تغير المناخ، والتي تعتبرها الغالبية زيادة الرياح القوية وارتفاع درجات الحرارة وزيادة تواتر الجفاف وزيادة تقلب هطول الأمطار وزيادة الفيضانات. ومن بين العوامل الأخرى، كان من الواضح أن استخدام رابطة الدول المستقلة قد يتأثر بنوع الجنس. وجد أن الرجال يستجيبون بشكل خاص في اعتماد استخدام رابطة الدول المستقلة للتخفيف من مخاطر المناخ. ويعزى ذلك إلى قدرتهم على الوصول بسهولة إلى أجهزة الهاتف واستخدامها مقارنة بالنساء. كشفت الدراسة أنه على عكس النساء، كان الرجال قادرين على الوصول إلى المزيد من الموارد المالية وكان لديهم سيطرة على دخل الأسرة مما سمح لهم بشراء الهواتف المحمولة. تمكنت النساء بشكل عام من الوصول إلى هواتف أزواجهن المحمولة. على الرغم من الاختلافات في الوصول إلى رابطة الدول المستقلة، أظهرت الدراسة أن كل من الرجال والنساء وجدوا أنه من المفيد اتخاذ القرارات الزراعية الاستراتيجية مثل متى يبدأون في إعداد الأراضي، ومتى يزرعون، وأي محصول يختارون. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، وجد أن كل من الرجال والنساء يواجهون قيودًا مماثلة (مثل ضعف الاتصال بالشبكة ومحدودية التدريب)، للوصول إلى CIS واستخدامها من خلال منصة Esoko. توصي الدراسة بالحاجة إلى استكشاف قنوات نشر مختلفة لرابطة الدول المستقلة وتصميم رابطة الدول المستقلة التي تلبي الاحتياجات الخاصة بنوع الجنس.

Abstract Measurement of the likely magnitude of the economic impact of climate change on African agriculture has been a challenge. Using data from a survey of more than 9,000 farmers across 11 African countries, a cross-sectional approach estimates how farm net revenues are affected by climate change compared with current mean temperature. Revenues fall with warming for dryland crops (temperature elasticity of −1.9) and livestock (−5.4), whereas revenues rise for irrigated crops (elasticity of 0.5), which are located in relatively cool parts of Africa and are buffered by irrigation from the effects of warming. At first, warming has little net aggregate effect as the gains for irrigated crops offset the losses for dryland crops and livestock. Warming, however, will likely reduce dryland farm income immedia-tely. The final effects will also depend on changes in precipitation, because revenues from all farm types increase with precipitation. Because irrigated farms are less sensitive to climate, where water is available, irrigation is a practical adaptation to climate change in Africa.
