Climate Smart Agriculture Technology and Systems for Risk Management. Design and implementaton of a training program focused on the Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) approach, to build the capacity of the extension services and farmer leaders to increase the resiliency to climate change in Belize\u2019s agricultural sector. Trainees are extension officers of the Resilient Rural Belize (RRB) Project, as well as part of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprises, and other relevant agricultural and environmental institutions. This training program will build upon previous work developed by CATIE, MoA and UNDP focused on CSA as a strategy to address climate risk in Belize.\n

\nDevelopment of an Integrated and Comprehensive Agroforestry Policy Framework for Belize. Aimed at analyzing the status of agroforestry practices, along with forest and environmental policies that may contribute to enhance tree coverage in farms as a means to increase carbon sequestration \u2013 to meet Belize\u00b4s obligations under the Paris Agreement and enhance the resilience to climate change. In partnership with the National Climate Change Office of the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Climate Change & Disaster Risk Management, and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN).\n

\nImproving Livestock Productivity and Climate Resilience in Belize. Promotes the adoption of climate-smart livestock production technologies, such as the rehabilitation of degraded pastures, the enhancement of tree coverage, and other silvopastoral innovations aimed at increasing productivity, income, and resilience to climate change in livestock farms. CATIE works on enhancing the capabilities of BLPA members and livestock extension staff, to scale up new technologies, with the support of the InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB) Innovation Laboratory.\n

\nValue Chain Market Assessment for each Priority Area identified in the Resilient Rural Belize (RRB) Programme. It applies a value chain analysis that works with stakeholders to identify and prioritize the potential efficiency improvements in the value chain production, processing, and marketing; which would benefit smallholders, women, youth, and other actors along seven pre-identified value chains in Belize. The project is funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).\n

\nClimate Vulnerability Assessment for each Priority Area identified in the Resilient Rural Belize (RRB) Programme.Aimed at analyzing key climatic aspects that must be taken into consideration to climate-proof the investments that support the prioritized value chains, as means to optimize value chain interventions.The project is funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
