ABOUT US

Framed within an integrated watershed management approach, the project 'Reducing land degradation and farmers’ vulnerability to climate change in the highland dry areas of north-western Ethiopia' aims to develop, adapt, evaluate and demonstrate innovative, integrated, and sustainable land, water, crop and livestock management technologies. The project, funded by the Austrian Development Agency, will improve farmers’ resilience capacity to the impacts of climate variability and land degradation.

OUR IMPACT

Goals

The project focuses on improving rainfed watershed management in Amhara, Ethiopia. The overarching goal is to increase the resilience and reduce the vulnerability of smallholder rainfed farmers to land degradation and the vagaries of climate change by developing adapted sustainable management of land, water, crop, and livestock resources.

Objectives

To achieve the goal, the following specific objectives are formulated: 1. Reduce vulnerability and increase the resilience capacity of rainfed farmers; 2. Understand the strategies adopted by farmers in their efforts to manage climate change impacts and disseminate best bet practices; 3. Enhance rainfed farmers' food security, livelihood, and economic well-being; 4. Capacitate farmers to manage their farming system resources sustainably; 5. Recommend policies and strategies to facilitate more climate change resilient production systems.

Problems and Needs Analysis

In the Amhara Region, the problem of food insecurity has become more pronounced in recent years with the threat posed by climate change and land resource degradation. The crop-livestock mixed rainfed farming system, from which over 90 % of food production comes, is the dominant livelihood source in the highlands of the Amhara Region. This system is set back by the interrelated impacts of climate change and land degradation. Soil organic carbon decline and recurrent spatial and temporal climate variations, aggravated by the lack of water storage capacity, hinder the effective use of water and nutrients by plants, leading to frequent crop failures and making it difficult for rural populations to meet their basic needs. Furthermore, the rainfed crop-livestock production system is locked up by traditional low-input production practices, inefficient rainwater management, using low-yielding crop varieties and livestock breeds, increasing disease and pest prevalence, and poor marketing and processing infrastructures. Consequently, yield gaps between current and potential productivity are significant, and strategies based on integrated SLM solutions can greatly improve the situation.

Intervention Strategy(ies)

The proposed project is implemented in the Amhara region and adopts problem-solving participatory approaches. It works within an integrated watershed development and long-term monitoring framework and holistically addresses the biophysical, socio-economic, policy, and institutional problems. The project intervention is based on the following main axes: 1. Validating Sustainable Land Management (SLM) options; 2. Developing crop and livestock production technologies that better adapt to climate change impacts; 3. Assessing farmers’ perception of climate change, their vulnerability to its adverse effects of it, and identifying their adaptation strategies; 4. Bio-economic modelling at the watershed level describing and analyzing system dynamics, productivity and the constraints to improved performance; 5. Recommending policies and strategies to facilitate more climate change resilient production systems.

Impact Pathway

The project will reduce poverty, sustainably improve land resources, increase food security and the health and nutrition of the community through enhancing the productivity of rainfed agriculture by efficiently managing rainwater, adopting improved and more adapted crop and livestock types/varieties/breeds, and management practices, by adopting sustainable land management (SLM) practices, and by introducing energy-efficient stoves and alternative energy sources. SLM practices can make farming systems more resilient to the vagaries of climate change by restoring productive natural resources, increasing food production, and enhancing food security. Adopting crop varieties and forages with increased resistance to heat stress, shock, and drought would reduce climate change impacts. Rainwater management/harvesting is an effective strategy to manage floods, droughts, and other climate change effects. Introducing energy-saving stoves and alternative energy sources would reduce forest and land degradation and remove dependence on biomass energy. The research outputs will be used by rainfed area extension services dealing with rural communities in enhancing small-scale poor-resources farmers’ agricultural productivity and conserving the fragile ecologies. Nevertheless, policymakers, development and extension workers, rural and urban consumers, seed producers, crop and livestock traders, graduating students, national and international researchers, and the country will benefit from the project outputs. At the household level, expected impacts will be increased crop and livestock production, reduced land degradation, and thus increased adaptation capacity to climate change. The project will enhance institutions' capacity to manage and rehabilitate rainfed systems' natural resources vis-à-vis livelihood improvement strategies.
