Flashcards
0/10
Improved Soil Management
Enhances soil health, increasing its capacity to retain water and nutrients, which are crucial for crop growth in changing climatic conditions.
Crop Diversification
Increases resilience by reducing dependence on a single crop, which can be vulnerable to climate-specific pests, diseases, or weather patterns.
Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA)
Integrates the three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social, and environmental) by adopting practices that increase productivity, resilience, and reduce greenhouse gases.
Weather Forecasting Systems
Provides farmers with advanced warnings of adverse weather conditions, allowing them to prepare and reduce the potential impacts on their crops.
Agroforestry
Combines agriculture with tree cultivation, offering a diversified and resilient agricultural system that can provide multiple benefits in the face of climate change.
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Strategies
Helps farmers to prepare for, respond to, and recover from extreme weather events and natural disasters exacerbated by climate change.
Insurance Programs for Climate Risks
Provides financial protection to farmers against losses due to climate-related risks, ensuring economic stability after adverse weather events.
Heat-Tolerant Crop Varieties
Promotes the use of crop types and varieties that are bred or genetically modified to withstand higher temperatures, reducing the risk of heat-related crop losses.
Pest and Disease Forecasting
Helps farmers anticipate, identify, and manage the increased risk of pest and disease outbreaks caused by changing climate patterns.
Water Conservation Techniques
Improves efficiency of water use and ensures availability during droughts, which are expected to become more frequent and severe with climate change.
