ProjectBuilding Agricultural Resilience to Natural Disasters - GCP/GLO/986/ITA 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The adverse impacts of natural hazard induced disasters on agriculture, through damage to facilities and equipment, and production losses in the crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture subsectors, call for the enhanced mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction (DRR) within and across agriculture sectors. There is an urgent need to identify good practices for disaster risk management (DRM), in particular ‘ex ante’ measures, applied by governments, farmers and other stakeholders to increase resilience to natural hazard induced disasters as the increasing frequency and intensity of these types of disasters, and particularly of climate related hazards, are adversely impacting agriculture. Particular attention was given to the issue of agricultural risk management under the Republic of Italy’s G7 Presidency in 2017. In order to make a concrete contribution to this subject, the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies and Tourism of the Republic of Italy decided to finance a study on building agricultural resilience to natural hazard induced disasters. The current project was the result of that decision. -
Book (stand-alone)Comprehensive analysis of the disaster risk reduction and management system for agriculture in Albania 2018
Also available in:
This report aims to highlight the current strengths of the institutional DRR system for agriculture in Albania as well as indicate existing gaps and capacity needs to further enhance it. A comprehensive assessment is conducted, which includes a general overview of the country’s agricultural sector and outlines the most frequent natural hazards that are impacting the sector. It is followed by an analysis of the existing legal, policy and institutional structure and discusses various components of the system, including e.g. the functioning of early warning systems, assessments of disaster risks, post-disaster needs assessments, including damages and losses assessments and the availability of agricultural insurance for farmers. It concludes by providing recommendations for capacity building interventions to strengthen the current system to reduce the adverse impacts of natural hazards, in particular, floods, landslides and droughts, and climate change on agriculture in Albania. This report is prepared for the FAO project ‘Enhancement of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRR/M) capacities and mainstreaming of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) practices into the Agricultural Sector in the Western Balkans (TCP/RER/3504). -
