Agriculture climato-intelligente à Madagascar Climate-smart agriculture in Madagascar

Date of Publication
Nov 01, 2016
Description/Abstract

Madagascar occupe actuellement le 5ème rang mondial des pays les plus exposés aux risques dus au changement climatique et le 1er pays exposé en Afrique. Durant 30 ans depuis 1980, des aléas naturels notamment des sécheresses, tremblements de terre, épidémies, inondations, cyclones et températures extrêmes, ont causé des dommages économiques de plus de 1 milliard USD à Madagascar et le secteur agricole est parmi les secteurs durement touchés. Et selon les projections, ces risques devraient s’aggraver dans le futur. Face à cela, la FAO avec un financement du marché commun de l’Afrique Orientale et Australe (COMESA) en collaboration avec la communauté de l’Afrique de l’Est (EAC) et de la Communauté de développement de l’Afrique australe (SADC) a mis en œuvre le programme intitulé : « Programme sur l’adaptation et la mitigation au changement climatique dans les régions est et Sud de l’Afrique ». L’objectif de ce programme est d’appuyer la mise à l’échelle de l’adoption des techniques d’Agriculture Climato-Intelligente afin de renforcer les moyens de subsistance et d’assurer la sécurité alimentaire des petits producteurs dans les régions de l’Afrique de l’Est et Australe dont Madagascar.

Agriculture Intelligente face au Climat : Augmenter la productivité

Date of Publication
May 01, 2016
Description/Abstract

Les secteurs de l’agriculture des pays en développement absorbent environ 22% de l’impact économique causé par les catastrophes et risques naturels de moyenne et grande échelle. L’intégration d’efforts d’adaptation et de financements dans ces secteurs est essentielle.

L’agriculture intelligente face au climat (AIC) est une approche permettant de définir les mesures nécessaires pour transformer et réorienter les systèmes agricoles. L’objectif est de soutenir efficacement le développement de l’agriculture et d’assurer la sécurité alimentaire face au changement climatique. Elle vise à traiter trois objectifs principaux : l’augmentation durable de la productivité et des revenus agricoles (sécurité alimentaire); l’adaptation et le renforcement de la résilience face aux impacts des changements climatiques (adaptation); et la réduction et/ou la suppression des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (l’atténuation).
Par ailleurs, l’AIC permet d’identifier les systèmes de production, les institutions et politiques favorables, les mieux adaptés pour répondre aux défis du changement climatique dans des conditions précises. Dans un même temps, l’AIC vise à accroître la productivité et/ou les revenus.

Potential of Underutilised Vegetable, Fruits and Nuts Crops to Contribute to Food and Nutritional Security, Income and More Sustainable Production Systems

Date of Publication
Nov 01, 2016
Description/Abstract

The United Republic of Tanzania which comprises of the Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar islands is located south of the Equator in East Africa between latitudes 1o – 12o South and longitude 30o – 40o east. It is bounded to the North by Uganda and Kenya, on the East by the Indian Ocean, to the South by Mozambique and Malawi, to the South West by Zambia, and to the West by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, and Rwanda. Tanzania is mainly an agrarian society with agriculture, the mainstay of its economy, employing more than 80 percent of the total rural population  and accounting for 26.5 percent of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with over 21% contributed by the crop’s sector. In recent years, Tanzania has attained self sufficiency in food production with annual surpluses, probably a reflection of enhanced capacity for the sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) situated in the context of a series of functioning farming systems.
