As #climate change continues to impact global #agriculture 🌍, the need for climate-resilient farming has never been more urgent. Research indicates that rising temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns can lead to soil degradation, affecting its structure and nutrient content. For instance, a study from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights that climate change could reduce #soil fertility by 10% to 20% in certain regions by 2050, threatening #food security and ecosystem health. 🌱 At DOODA, we’re committed to creating sustainable #solutions ♻️that help #farmers adapt to these challenges. Through our #organic fertilizers and liquid vermicompost bio-stimulants 🪱, we enhance soil resilience, improve water retention, and support crop health even under extreme conditions. As we innovate and collaborate with farmers and partners, we’re not just addressing today’s challenges—we’re paving the way for a #sustainable agricultural future that nourishes generations to come 🧑🏼🌾🌱👩🏻🌾 #ClimateResilience #SustainableFarming #RegenerativeAgriculture #FoodSecurity #DOODA

The effect of Climate change on Agriculture doesn't go unnoticed. Being at the centre of the narrative, Years back we Introduced climatic resilient hybrid seeds engineered to withstand challenges like unpredictable weather patterns, droughts, and pest infestations. We did that so we could help farmers: 1. Increase Crop Yields. 2. Reduce Environmental Impacts. 3. Enhance Food Security and Supply chain. The goal has always been to fight climate change through hybrid seeds that will revolutionize agricultural production. This means helping as many farmers in Tanzania transcend from subsistence to sustainable farming. #zamseed #goodseed #pureseed

🌍 Adapting to Climate Change: Essential Strategies for Sustainable Farming in ASAL Areas 🌱 Climate change is an ever-present challenge, particularly in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) like Kimana. The shifting climate patterns pose significant risks to agricultural productivity and food security. At Ambokili Farm, we are committed to implementing and promoting effective climate adaptation strategies to ensure sustainable farming practices. From drought-resistant crops to efficient water management, we’re ensuring a sustainable future. By adapting to the changing climate, we can protect our environment, enhance our farm’s resilience, and secure a sustainable future for our community.  Climate change is reshaping agriculture, and at Ambokili Farm, we’re adapting with innovative strategies.

Informative and awareness video 🫡🫡 "Organic Farming: A Key Strategy for Climate Adaptation" As the world grapples with the effects of climate change, agriculture stands at the forefront of both vulnerability and resilience. In this battle against a changing climate, organic farming emerges as a potent ally, offering sustainable solutions that not only mitigate environmental impacts but also foster adaptation strategies. Organic farming, characterized by its reliance on natural inputs and avoidance of synthetic chemicals, presents a holistic approach to agriculture that aligns harmoniously with the principles of climate adaptation. One of the fundamental pillars of organic farming is soil health. By eschewing chemical fertilizers and pesticides, organic practices nurture robust, living soils that exhibit greater resilience to extreme weather events such as droughts and floods. Healthy soils act as a carbon sink, sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide and mitigating the effects of climate change. Furthermore, organic farming methods emphasize biodiversity conservation, promoting the cultivation of diverse crops and the preservation of natural habitats. This diversity not only enhances ecosystem resilience but also provides a buffer against climate-related crop failures. Through crop rotation, agroforestry, and the use of cover crops, organic farmers create resilient agricultural systems capable of withstanding unpredictable weather patterns and pest pressures. Water conservation is another critical aspect of organic farming that contributes to climate adaptation. By employing practices such as mulching, drip irrigation, and rainwater harvesting, organic farmers minimize water wastage and mitigate the impacts of water scarcity exacerbated by climate change. Additionally, agroecological approaches utilized in organic farming, such as agroforestry and contour planting, help prevent soil erosion and maintain hydrological cycles, further safeguarding water resources. Moreover, organic agriculture fosters local resilience by reducing dependence on external inputs and fostering community-based food systems. By prioritizing organic farming practices, communities can mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with globalized supply chains and ensure food security in the face of climate-related disruptions.

Climate-smart greenhouses represent a promising solution to the challenges posed by climate change in the agricultural sector. By integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices, these greenhouses increase agricultural productivity, adapt to changing climate conditions, and reduce environmental impacts. Syngenta Veg Field promoters in Zimbabwe are putting more effort on encouraging young farmers to do greenhouse farming as a way of mitigating Climate change hence promoting food security.Newton F1,Tovistar F1 are some of Syngenta Smart tomatoe varieties that Freshpicks (YPR) is also planning to do for farmers around Zimbabwe. In order to fight Climate change Tanaka young farmer has joined the rest of the world to do greenhouse farming.

Sustainability update with a fresh produce perspective! Here are the main updates I touch on from last week’s news headlines: ✳️ Flooded farms in England refused compensation ✳️ Experts doubt climate friendly farming is climate friendly enough ✳️ Natural farming in India sees benefits with government support What do you think of the natural farming initiative in India? What other countries can you see this being adopted in and supported? #freshproduce #sustainability #sustainableagriculture #climateaction #climatechange #climate #nature

Great Inputs Harjeet Singh All the more by organic farming we are bringing in long term economic resilience for the farmers and if we do a costing of the same it will give a lot of evidence as to how such sustainable practices are more apt to reduce the slow onset loss and damage events. Great learning for all.

Can organic farming help in climate adaptation?

🌍 SMART AGRICULTURE: Adaptation & Mitigation of Climate Change Impacts 🌾 In the face of climate change, our farming practices must evolve to ensure food security and environmental sustainability. Here's how smart agriculture is leading the way: 1. Precision Farming: Using data and technology to optimize water use, reduce waste, and increase crop yields. 2. Climate-Resilient Crops: Developing and planting crops that can withstand extreme weather conditions. 3. Soil Health Management: Implementing practices like crop rotation, cover cropping, and organic fertilizers to maintain soil fertility and structure. 4. Renewable Energy: Integrating solar, wind, and biogas systems to power farms sustainably. 5. Agroforestry: Combining trees and shrubs with crops and livestock to enhance biodiversity and sequester carbon. Smart agriculture is not just about technology—it's about making informed, sustainable choices that benefit our planet and future generations. 🌟 #smartagriculture #agrotech #sustainablefarming #wildlifemanagement #katidhan United Nations, WWF-India, Wildlife Trust of India, Wildlife Conservation Society, Nature Conservation Foundation, The Habitats Trust, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Forest Department, Govt. of Uttarakhand, Karnataka Forest Department , Parveen Kaswan ,Dr. PM Dhakate , Nikhil Kamath , Nithin Kamath

🌧️ Climate Risks: Impact on Marginal Farmers 🌧️ Extreme weather events and unpredictable rainfall are taking a toll on our marginal farmers. - Drought Conditions: 41% of farmers report severe drought impacts. We need drought-resistant crops and water conservation practices urgently. - Unpredictable Rainfall: 1 in 3 farmers face excessive or off-season rains, endangering crops like rice, vegetables, and pulses. Adapting to climate change is crucial for our farmers' survival and success. Let's invest in resilient agricultural practices and technologies. 👉 Join the conversation!
