SUMMARY:Implementing Climate-Smart Agriculture: Innovation, Inclusivity and Capacity-Building
DESCRIPTION:There is significant focus on achieving and upscaling climate-smart agriculture (CSA), with particular emphasis on delivering benefits to smallholder farmers. Despite the high level of knowledge around what technologies and practises work on the ground, there is poor understanding of how smallholder farmers access beneficial outcomes, and how to effectively implement CSA at scale.\nThis webinar focusses on AFRICAP’s research into CSA implementation in Tanzania, featuring presentations by University of Leeds researchers Dr Susannah Sallu, Dr Harriet Smith, and Marta Gaworek-Michalczenia. Drawing on empirical research and ongoing collaborative work with project partners in Tanzania, speakers will discuss some of the approaches and outcomes of implementing CSA, explore who does and does not benefit from programme implementation and why, and raise questions about the viability of and challenges with global ambitions to upscale CSA.\nFollowing research presentations, seminar discussants Dr John Recha (Scientist for the CGIAR research programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security, International Livestock Research Institute) and Mr Prosper Makundi (Acting Head of Environment Management Unit, Ministry of Agriculture, Tanzania) will provide a reflective response, situating AFRICAP’s research within the broader ambitions for upscaling Climate-Smart Agriculture across East and Southern Africa as well as the national policy context in Tanzania.\nThe event will close with a Q&A, facilitated by the event chair Ms. Sithembile Mwamakamba (Director of Policy Research and Analysis at Food and Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network, FANRPAN).\nFor more GCRF-AFRICAP seminars on food systems and climate resilience in sub-Saharan Africa, visit the GCRF-AFRICAP events page.

Susannah is an interdisciplinary scientist with expertise on rural livelihood and landscape resilience. Much of her recent research focuses on the design, implementation and impact of environment-development and resilience-building intervention. Susannah has 20 years experience working in Tanzania. Read more.

Her research focusses on understanding how farmers adapt to climate change, by examining how they learn and use different agricultural practices. In the context of Agricultural Development Programmes in Tanzania, her work explores how agricultural innovation happens, to examine who has access to, and is able to benefit from Development Programmes, who does not, and why. Read more.

She is in the final stages of her PhD research which has collaborated with NGO partners to examine interactions between multiple interventions, including CSA, being implemented in rural Tanzania. Marta is trained in both natural and social science and uses interdisciplinary mixed method approaches to draw inferences between intervention impacts and resilience of rural livelihoods. Read more.  ( https://www.cccep.ac.uk/profile/marta-garowek-michalczenia/ )\n \n
