The MICCA programm was launched by FAO in 2010 to make agriculture more climate smart. It works to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in developing countries and to enable these farmers to contribute to global efforts to mitigate climate change.
One component of the programm is the implementation of four pilot projects to provide quantifiable evidence that climate smart agricultural practices can mitigate climate change, improve farmers’ lives and make local communities better able to adapt to climate change.
The impact of two of these projects on green house gas (GHG) emissions has been assessed with the EX-ACT tool.
