Climate Smart Agriculture Resilient Practices

 FARMSIO has developed innovative and digitalised farm management software using  Climate Smart Agriculture for the benefit of the stakeholders in the food value chain. The technology for agricultural solutions are built on the premises of sustainable agriculture with a focus on conserving energy and resources in farming, market linkages for integrating the stakeholders on both down and upstream of the food supply chain, food traceability to optimise the input resources, quality and quantity of them used and above all the climate-smart agriculture adaptability and appropriate farming practices to thwart the risks. 

The mitigation measures in the climatic risks are classified into:

  • Cropping systems
  • Livestock systems
  • Forest systems
  • Fisheries, aquaculture and oceanic systems and 
  • Biodiversity.

This blog has extensively used the well-researched inputs published by the Food and Agriculture Organisation and acknowledges the yeomen services offered to humankind and nature holistically. We will be presenting the various measures every week. For strategic management practices to adopt various recommended measures, the Farmsio  Climate Smart Agriculture -farm management systems would be happy to contribute to society. Farmsio will be happy to demonstrate the solutions and we are just a click away from you.

A key element required for sustainable and transformational development in agriculture is ensuring that investments are informed by robust evidence about past and future climate risks.  Climate-Smart Agriculture is a fundamental concept of climate risk management. In this context, climate resilience refers to the ability of an agricultural system to anticipate and prepare for, as well as to adapt to, absorb and recover from the impacts of changes in climate and extreme weather. Resilience can be enhanced by implementing short and long-term climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, as well as ensuring transparent and inclusive participation of multiple actors and stakeholders in decision-making and management processes. Some hydro-meteorological hazards are slow in their onsets, such as changes in temperature and precipitation resulting in long-term altered temperature, rainfall patterns and agricultural droughts. On the other hand, some occur much more suddenly, such as tropical storms and floods. Both require robust risk preparedness informed by the assessment of climate risk.

Conclusion:

Farmsio builds livelihoods and resilience to the climatic changes through the  Climate Smart Agriculture practices in East and West Africa. CSA provides these countries with Sustainable Agriculture options for delivering Sustainable Development Goals.

Farmsio focuses mainly on the smallholders, who face challenges in food insecurity and climatic change. Farmsio works with the Agriculture Developing Agencies at the grassroots levels providing solutions through the Climate Smart Agriculture Technologies and resilient Practices.

Weaving Bales with Bytes: A Case for Cotton Digitalization

Image
  Cotton has been a profitable crop for the past 7000 years otherwise our ancestors would have dropped it. It is one of the most sustainable fibre. For a very long time, India was known for cotton fabrics, while the rest of the world clad in wool. Today, cotton is cultivated in about 80 countries around the globe. India ranks no. 1 in cotton production, contributing to 33.23% in the total area of the world. One in every four hectares of cotton grown around the world comes from India. The role cotton plays in an agricultural-based economy like India can't be overlooked. With the advent of better hybrids, fertilizers and pesticides in the post-Green Revolution years (the late 1960s), the yield increased multifold and cotton farming prospered in the sub-continent. This surge in supply, accompanied by the changing consumer preferences from tailor-made to readymade garments and popular media influence boosted the cotton textile industry and has created job opportunities for millions of

Sustainable Ocean Ecology - The Key to Feature Food Security

  Sustainable Ocean Ecology by Farmsio - The Key to future of food security. The growing human population, increase in per capita income and the global shift in the interest for nutritious food is considering raising the demand for Aquatic food resources. As you know marine species feed 17-18% of the world's population. This we can classify into Fresh Water Aquaculture, that is inland freshwater fisheries and Seafood, that is the foods from the sea and marine resources.   Resource constraints like availability of land, proper water quality of required quantity exist. In the future seafood alone can meet the need. Ocean ecosystem provides 80% of the world's biodiversity, so it is highly important to have control over the magnitude of ocean fishing and protect our marine flora and fauna. It is a challenging task to maintain biodiversity. To Know More Click Here
