Book (stand-alone)Carbon neutral tea production in China – Three pilot case studies 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector is responsible for about 25 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, but can also be an important part of the solution to climate change, through adaptation and mitigation efforts. As part of its Strategy on Climate Change, FAO is developing the low carbon agricultural commodities approach , based on emission reductions along entire agricultural value chains, with tea and its business model being the first commodity to be evaluated. This report, developed in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), assesses the potential of lowcarbon and carbon neutral approaches to tea production. As the largest producer and consumer of tea in the world, China is collaborating with FAO to develop an overall framework and minimum standards for sustainable tea production. This report, based on the case studies carried in three tea fields in Southeast China, provides evidence regarding the results, impacts and achievements of the pilot conducted by the Chinese Academy of Agriculture Sciences (CAAS). The report develops a methodology for accounting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and an estimation of the mitigation and carbon sequestration potential based on the experiences in the pilot tea gardens in China. The report also sets up the key elements of the enabling environment in order to promote the replication of the model to other countries and the base work for a potential low carbon and/or carbon neutral tea certification. -
BookletApplying MEV-CAM tools: participatory video 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Making Every Voice Count for Adaptive Management (MEV-CAM) toolkit provides process documentation facilitators with instruments for documenting change through participatory video to generate knowledge, monitor impact, and share practices. This toolkit sheds light on how to develop a participatory video process in all its stages: beginning with stakeholder identification, activity planning, capturing of change, and more. The MEV-CAM initiative was launched in 2020 to empower and recognize local and Indigenous communities as true agents of change in the realms of sustainable dryland management, restoration, and South-South cooperation. Putting communities in the driver's seat, MEV-CAM uses participatory tools, such as video, which allows for the most significant impact to be visualized from the process of change itself. The MEV-CAM approach guarantees that stakeholders at different levels are engaged in the impact and processes of change with decision makers; learn not only from partners and facilitators, but also from other community members; and feel inspired to disseminate their knowledge and voice their needs to participate in sharing information. While drylands account for 44 percent of the world’s agricultural land, desertification has rapidly increased due to the consistent use of unsustainable land use practices. MEV-CAM values the knowledge that communities possess in combatting the anthropogenic effects of climate change and guides them in disseminating these skills – nationally, regionally, and globally. This toolkit highlights various case studies in which facilitators applied the participatory video process with Indigenous communities of their project’s targeted landscapes in Southern Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East. The case studies elaborate on the facilitators’ experiences using the participatory tools, and particularly detail communities’ reactions to participating in the activities. -
BookletPublic expenditure analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector: a case study of Kenya
Experiences of integrating agriculture in sectoral and national adaptation planning processes
2021Also available in:
No results found.This document presents a proposed methodology for public expenditure review and analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector (PERCC) and its application to a case study of Kenya. The document starts by explaining the basic methodological concepts, classification, and labeling of public expenditures that allow calculating spending in agriculture-related to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Next, the document applies the methodology to public expenditures in Kenya to analyse how agricultural spending policies help, or hinder, Kenya’s climate change adaptation and mitigation.
