Resilience of a system is its ability to recuperate quickly from the damages caused by a disaster. There are several ways in which people in the field cope with the disasters locally and try to limit the damages of the disaster by adopting various techniques. Documentation of several such practices and technologies and its dissemination through online platforms can prove to be very beneficial. TECA (FAO) is one such ICT medium which documents and shares several successful practices and technologies which have helped in improving resilience. Examples of several succesful implementations are given below:

  1. Improving farmers’ resilience and income diversification in flood and typhoon prone areas through backyard Tilapia farming, Philippines

  2. Enhancing climate resilience in mountainous regions through coffee intercropping for forest enrichment, Philippines

  3. Enhancing climate resilience through cultivation of pomelo for forest enrichment, Philippines

  4. Reducing natural hazard impacts on bananas: integrated practices, Haiti

  5. Enhancing drought resistance through guinea grass mulching, Jamaica

Many other technologies and practices on a wide range of agricultural topics are available at www.teca.fao.org
