Book Description
Cette évaluation finale couvre le projet «Intégration de la résilience climatique dans la production agropastorale pour la sécurité alimentaire dans les zones rurales vulnérables à travers l’approche des champs-écoles paysans», financé par le Fonds pour l’environnement mondial (FEM). La performance globale du projet est jugée modérément satisfaisante. Le projet apporte une réponse pertinente aux besoins d'adaptation au changement climatique au Sénégal. Le projet est cohérent dans sa conception et s'aligne sur le Plan Sénégal émergent. L'évaluation a conclu que le projet a contribué à renforcer les capacités des acteurs institutionnels et des organisations paysannes en matière d'adaptation au changement climatique, de résilience et d'équité entre les sexes. Les principaux résultats du projet comprennent: le renforcement des capacité des techniciens, producteurs facilitateurs-relais, agriculteurs et agro-pasteurs sur les bonnes pratiques d'adaptation au changement climatique à travers l'approche des champs-écoles des producteurs; la création d'un fonds de résilience climatique qui a permis de financer des micro-projets en zone rurale; la diffusion d'informations climatiques; des formations sur des pratiques adaptées au changement climatique au niveau des champs-écoles des producteurs et des champs-écoles agropastoraux.

Water & Heritage
Author: Willem Willems
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789088903861
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
Water is vital for life, and its availability has been a concern for mankind throughout the ages. Its presence has always been ascertained in a variety of ways and the development of human society everywhere is connected with various forms of water management. Man also needed to manage water to find protection from its dangers and the need for that is increasing. In the coming decades, the impact of climate change is expected to intensify floods and droughts, affect groundwater resources, raise sea levels, increase pollution and enhance the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Societies around the world are challenged to adapt to these threats to ensure water security, economic prosperity and environmental and cultural sustainability. This book deals with the heritage of water management and the use that was made of water, as well as the impact of water management on heritage. An example of the former may be an ancient irrigation system in the Filipines or in the Middle East that still functions today, while the latter may reflect the importance of maintaining groundwater levels for the preservation of organic remains on archaeological sites or of wooden piles underneath standing buildings. In either case the papers in this book reflect the dynamic nature of water, and hence the equally dynamic relation between water management and heritage. This publication follows up on a Heritage and Water conference in Amsterdam, the first of its kind. Its main purpose is to credibly present the importance and value of heritage and historical experience for water and sustainable development, and vice versa, present the importance of water management for the protection of heritage. It presents evolving insights and concepts about Water and about Heritage from a variety of disciplines, policy and public perspectives illustrated with cases studies and aims to connect decision makers with experts such as engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, ecologist and landscape architects

Cities and Agriculture
Author: Henk de Zeeuw
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317506618
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
As people increasingly migrate to urban settings and more than half of the world's population now lives in cities, it is vital to plan and provide for sustainable and resilient food systems which reflect this challenge. This volume presents experience and evidence-based "state of the art" chapters on the key dimensions of urban food challenges and types of intra- and peri-urban agriculture. The book provides urban planners, local policy makers and urban development practitioners with an overview of crucial aspects of urban food systems based on an up to date review of research results and practical experiences in both developed and developing countries. By doing so, the international team of authors provides a balanced textbook for students of the growing number of courses on sustainable agriculture, food and urban studies, as well as a solid basis for well-informed policy making, planning and implementation regarding the development of sustainable, resilient and just urban food systems.

Traditional Forest-Related Knowledge
Author: John A. Parrotta
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400721447
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 639
Book Description
Exploring a topic of vital and ongoing importance, Traditional Forest Knowledge examines the history, current status and trends in the development and application of traditional forest knowledge by local and indigenous communities worldwide. It considers the interplay between traditional beliefs and practices and formal forest science and interrogates the often uneasy relationship between these different knowledge systems. The contents also highlight efforts to conserve and promote traditional forest management practices that balance the environmental, economic and social objectives of forest management. It places these efforts in the context of recent trends towards the devolution of forest management authority in many parts of the world. The book includes regional chapters covering North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Australia-Pacific region. As well as relating the general factors mentioned above to these specific areas, these chapters cover issues of special regional significance, such as the importance of traditional knowledge and practices for food security, economic development and cultural identity. Other chapters examine topics ranging from key policy issues to the significant programs of regional and international organisations, and from research ethics and best practices for scientific study of traditional knowledge to the adaptation of traditional forest knowledge to climate change and globalisation.

Évaluation finale du projet «Réduire la vulnérabilité des moyens d’existence agricoles à travers l’approche "Caisses de résilience" au Sahel»
Author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251332673
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : fr
Pages : 67
Book Description
L’objectif global du projet était d’améliorer la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle des populations vulnérables au Burkina Faso et au Mali à travers le renforcement de la résilience de leurs moyens d’existence face aux aléas climatiques. L’évaluation finale du projet a été réalisée entre le 22 avril et le 18 mai 2019 par une équipe de trois experts. Elle conclut que le projet a contribué à améliorer la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle des populations vulnérables ciblées. Les ménages ont été formés sur les pratiques agro-sylvo-pastorales résilientes au climat à travers l’approche «Champs écoles agro pastoraux» (CEAP) qui a montré son efficacité dans le transfert de connaissances. Grâce à la mise en place d’Associations villageoises d’épargne et de crédit (AVEC), plusieurs ménages ont pu avoir accès au crédit pour financer des activités génératrices de revenus et la caisse de solidarité des AVEC a contribué à renforcer la cohésion sociale du groupe. L’évaluation a constaté une analyse insuffisante en matière de genre et de sensibilités socio-culturelles qui a limité la participation des femmes aux activités du projet.
