Agriculture and climate change adaptation plenary session
Not all agricultural development projects increase resilience says Gernot Laganda from the International Fund for Agricultural Development. Some value chain projects focus on market linkages and public-private partnerships, but tend to underestimate the impact of climate change on productivity.IIEDApr 29, 2013 at 1:12 PM
Farmers can’t afford to take risks – climate finance could create a financial ‘buffer’ says Gernot Laganda from IFAD to allow them to innovate and try out new crops or crop varieties. Connecting smallholders to markets is also a critical ingredient to increasing climate resilience.

Shortage of crop variety less an issue than access to seeds diversification. IFAD @ #cba7
One of the barriers to community-based adaptation scaling up is that policy structures are being over-ridden by political and power interests says Edidah Ampaire, from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture. Edidah urged a need to manage the “political interference” – and says that NGOs could play a more vocal role in questioning that interference.
Edidah Ampaire, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Uganda outlines how the Institute carries out CBA work related to agriculture. It assesses climate risk and vulnerability at the community level – looks at the risks and coping strategies and then integrates the coping strategies with science. Then they hold stakeholder workshops where the institute presents options to farmers for them to assess and discuss.

What incentives to be provided to conservative agriculture in adaptation? Financing remains crucial issue #cba7
One plant on Mr Asaduzzaman’s balcony is now blooming at a different time. “What is happening to the plants?” he asked. “Imagine if this begins to happen to rice or wheat”, he asked. “This could lead to great instability in food prices – what will happen in the future?” he asked in his final comments on the agricultural plenary.
What can we learn from the experience of mainstreaming gender?
"What is one thing or lesson that CBA mainstreaming can learn from the experience of mainstreaming gender?" Here are some participants' answers to that question (we get to see them and their answers in this wonderful flickr gallery). What do you think?

I am unable to attend the conference but have a strong interest in adaptation developments in Bangladesh and South Asia generally. I am particularly interested in the idea of adaptation as transformation rather than simply resilience. -

Bummed not to be able to be there in person, but excited to learn nonetheless. #CBA7 -
We have had connectivity problems but we are finally up and running. The live web cast will begin this afternoon at 2 (Bangladeshi time). Apologies for the delay.

In the beginning of CBA 7, I was in a remote village of Central Nepal to find out their situation due to climate change. Still, they need actions on-the-ground rather than macro level workshops. I hope CBA 7 will be instrumental to share real field adaptation learning and way out.
