About this programme
Climate change is increasingly affecting agricultural productivity through unpredictable weather patterns, droughts, floods, and land degradation. Building resilient farming systems is essential for ensuring sustainable food production, protecting livelihoods, and improving the ability of farmers and agricultural systems to adapt to climate-related risks.
This course equips participants with practical knowledge and tools to design and implement climate-resilient agricultural practices. The course focuses on climate-smart agriculture, risk management strategies, sustainable farming systems, and adaptation practices that help farmers maintain productivity despite climate variability.
Participants will gain practical skills in climate risk assessment, resilient crop and livestock systems, water and soil management, and adaptation planning for sustainable agricultural development.
