Abstract:
Smallholder farmers in Asia and the Pacific Region are exposed to climate-change risks and their vulnerability is increased due to weak adaptive capacity. Existing methods of intensification to increase yields have generally reduced the environment’s capacity and concomitantly increased vulnerability to climate variability, creating a vicious circle.
Tree-based agriculture has been applied by smallholder farmers to deal with climate risks at local level. Climate smart tree-based systems have multiple functions which intensify production for smallholder farmers while also maintain the environment’s capacity to provide services. Therefore, it is necessary for both smallholder farmers (serving as environmental services’ providers) and environmental services’ users co-invest in tree based practices to ensure sustainable flow of benefits.
This project will therefore help to identify and mainstream climate-smart, tree-based agricultural good practices into the programmes of the government, non-governmental organizations and the private sectors, especially environmental services’ users in Indonesia, the Philippines and Viet Nam.
