CGIAR Climate's insight:
Dr Wilbur Ottichilo, a legislator and environmental expert who is a member of Kenya's negotiating team in Warsaw, gives an example."Farmers in different parts of the country are already practicing farming with minimum tillage as a way of improving soil health and sequestering carbon, and so on," said the legislator."We now have very successful projects such as "climate-smart" villages in different parts of the country, where farmers are working in groups to produce more from small pieces of land using appropriate technologies," Ottichilo told IPS.The "smart village" is a project implemented by the research program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) with funding from the World Bank.
