Making climate smart agriculture work for the poor

Date: Thursday 1 December 2011

Time: 1.15-2.45pm

Venue: Apies River Room , International Convention Centre

While there is tremendous potential in NRM for development, mitigation, adaptation and more sustainable land management, smallholder farmers will only engage in biocarbon projects if the focus is on their livelihoods. Finding the right incentives and public-private partnership arrangements will be critical to mobilizing climate change funds for the rural poor. At this event, representatives from the private sector, government and international organizations will discuss possible ways to overcome the multiple institutional, financial, management and development related challenges faced by agricultural biocarbon projects in Africa.
