The workshop is organised by the DFG and NFRF funded project "Shared Gardens for Climate Change Adaptation (Jardins adaptés au climat)" https://www.umoncton.ca/jardins-climat/en in cooperation with the International Climate Change Information and Research Programme (ICCIRP) https://www.haw-hamburg.de/en/ftz-nk/programmes-and-networks/iccirp/ of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, the European Academic Network for Capacity Development in Climate Change Adaptations in Africa (NetCDA) http://netcda.org/, the BMFTR funded project " Feasibility Study on Climate Change, Land Use Management, and Renewable Energy in The Gambia (RECC-LUM)", and the Interdisciplinary Expert Centre on Climate Change and Health (IECCCH) https://www.haw-hamburg.de/en/ftz-nk/ieccch/ as a side event of Tropentag 2025: Reconciling land system changes with planetary health https://www.tropentag.de/.
Rationale: In the last decades, the agricultural sector and as an outcome food security have been under significant stress due to changing climate conditions followed by population growth and decreasing productivity. These trends in combination with socio-economic and political factors amplify threats to sustainable livelihood and well-being of the population in African countries. The continent is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, making it essential to develop strategies that are sustainable and context-specific. The primary objective of this session is to explore opportunities and challenges on the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices and climate adaptation strategies. It will serve as a critical platform to address the interconnected challenges in terms of climate variability, agricultural production and various adaptation practices. The event will also provide an avenue for discussion of new ideas to enhance understanding of the potential capacity of agriculture-related adaptation solutions to face future crises, together with meeting the challenge of maintaining the global and regional agriculture and food production. Finally, it will also serve the purpose of fostering networking,critical reflection and collaborative efforts among the participants, leading to further mobilisation of resources for further initiatives.
Main purpose of the workshop:
The workshop will consist of a series of presentations by keynote speakers, followed by a panel discussion.
It will focus on such topics as
- best practices in sustainable agricultural land use practices and management *biodiversification in agriculture and enhancement of ecosystem services for resilience agroforestry for improved food systems
- lessons learned from successful collaborative projects
- role of women farmers in promoting smart agriculture solutions.
