Climate-smart agriculture framework according to the Yangambi landscape realities
| Climate risks | Impacts | CSA options | Potential partners/actors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Increase in temperature | Crop wilt | Use of tolerant varieties, mulching, agroforestry | Research institutions, state technical services, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) |
| Reduced crop yields | Use of tolerant varieties, agricultural support service, agroforestry, revival of agricultural technical schools, livelihood diversification and new crops, mulching | ||
| Delayed crop growth | Use of short-cycle varieties, fertilizer and manure application, mulching | ||
| Removal of pests | Use of bio-pesticides, consumption of variegated grasshoppers | ||
| Increase in annual rainfall | Removal of pests | Intensive weeding, high seeding density, livelihood diversification, new crops | Local community, research institutions, NGOs |
| Cassava tuber rot | Use of tolerant varieties | ||
| Decrease in annual rainfall | Crop wilt | Irrigation, water recycling, lowland development | State technical services, NGOs |
| Growth delay | Irrigation, use of resistant varieties, livelihood diversification, new crops | ||
| Onset and cessation of rainfall | Erosion of rain-fed soils supporting rice, groundnuts, and maize | Use of tolerant varieties, change of planting date | Research institutions, state and NGO technical services |
| Cassava tuber rot | Use of improved seeds | ||
| Agricultural yield reduction | Agricultural calendar adjustment, diversification of activities, livelihood diversification, new crops, early-maturing varieties, mulching | ||
| Strong winds | Pruning multipurpose trees | Windbreaks, agroforestry, tree planting and protection | Local communities, NGOs |
| Pouring of banana trees and other crops | Windbreaks, assisted natural regeneration, reforestation of degraded areas, agroforestry |
