Adapting Agriculture to climate change in The Gambia
Against the background of food security and environmental problems and projected impacts of climate change in Gambia, adaptation activities in the agricultural sector can be linked to two priorities: 1) promoting diversification of livelihood strategies and intensification of agriculture production, processing and marketing, and 2) improved livestock production and land management for sustaining livelihoods of local communities. These priorities, need to be complimented with cross cutting elements on which the project is centred: (1) Strengthening of institutional and technical capacity of agricultural services to promote adaptation and (2) assessment of vulnerabilities, risks and dissemination of timely risk information to better plan crop and livestock management practices.
