ABSTRACT
The aim of this topic guide is to provide readers with technologies/approaches that foster resilient food systems https://youtu.be/0wARk2RBetY?t=77 Our world requires adaptation and mitigation strategies which can ameliorate the effects of climate change. The topic guide therefore, contains URLs to signpost some technologies that work for sustainable production. There are two sections in this post guide - CSA for adaptation and CSA for mitigation.
OUR WORLD - ITS STATE
Humans have caused 1°C of global warming from the pre- industrial era due to Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions and land use exchange. Leading international bodies such as World Meteorological Organization (WMO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), indicate that accelerated activities of man have occurred in the mid-20th century. Particularly, the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum has contributed to much emission of GHGs affecting the solar radiative budget. Consequently, global warming has issued. Sea Level Rise (SLR), typhoons, cyclones, heat waves, droughts, extreme cold, proliferation of new pests and diseases. youtube.com/watch?v=bT-7L2f1DYY Food systems are under threat as much as the ecosystem systems. The new world faces food security amid the escalated population levels while human settlement has become a nightmare.
Climate smart Agriculture (CSA) provides adaptation and mitigation for the anthropogenic warming. Success of CSA lies on gender dimensions. see reason why technology for climate change should be gender sensitive especially for women: youtube.com/watch?v=ony2GHjYEro
The role and input of both men and women is starting point. therefore, from childhood and early days at school issues about energy consumption and climate change is of enormous importance to protect the world. In fact, no one group needs exclusion or it will be unlikely that initiatives will develop in a way that would suit the excluded group.The world desperately needs to achieve 1.5 degrees by 2050. This too will promote sustainable productions, both at school P.U. and the general farming fraternity. It is hoped that readers will link to URLs providing the CSA herein .
