About The Project

Agriculture has maintained a remarkable exponential increase in productivity to continue to supply a growing population. Projections indicate that world populations will rise to about 9 billion. This is coming at a time when climate change will increase unusual weather events, decrease agriculturally useful precipitation patterns in much of the world, and increase temperature stress. Agricultural land is under increasing pressure from urbanisation and the carbon intensive inputs into agriculture, which have fuelled part of the productivity gains, will need to be reduced. Adaptation to Climate Smart Agriculture is one way to address the climate change based challenges. To achieve this, we aimed to train master trainers first followed by the training of farmers in participating countries in this project.
