Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) This good practice option was tested in the project “Enhanced Climate Change Adaptation Capacity of Communities in Contiguous Fragile Ecosystems in the Cordilleras (2009 – 2011). Through the active participation and involvement of local stakeholders and end-users in both training and field demonstration activities, the project identified rapid composting using Trichoderma as a location-specific and appropriate option for climate change adaptation in selected representative sites for low, middle and high elevation in Benguet and Ifugao.

    This good practice option (GPO) was tested in the project “Enhanced Climate Change Adaptation Capacity of Communities in Contiguous Fragile Ecosystems in the Cordilleras (2009 – 2011) between august 11, 2010 and january 13, 2011. Through active participation and involvement of local stakeholders and end-users in both training and field demonstration activities, the project identified the planting of KS Kuroda carrots as a location-specific and appropriate option for climate change adaptation. The GPO was tested in the municipality of Atok located in the province of Benguet, Philippines in 2010 and 2011.

    How to buffer impacts of climate variability and dry spells in home gardens by using botanical pesticides and liquid compost, Cambodia 2017
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Chemical insecticides are usually used to fight pests and save the crops from damage. However, chemical pesticides are harmful to farmers’ health and to the environment. An alternative to chemical insecticides is botanical insecticides, which are made from plants and are useful against insect pests without harming the environment or having side effects on famers’ health. This practice, in preparing botanical insecticides, allows farmers to sustainably minimize insect damage to crops, especially during more frequent and severe outbreaks that are expected to happen as a result of climate change and increased climate variabilities. Additionally, this practice describes how to prepare composts for soil enrichment, thereby improving yield and productions of fruit trees and vegetables, and also help to reduce the input cost of chemical fertilizer
