Event

SEARCA – APAN’s thematic node for agriculture – organized a policy forum to deliberate on mainstreaming climate change adaptation in the agriculture sector to improve food security in the region. Around 30 representatives from government, academe and the private sector participated in the event. They discussed an array of adaptation strategies on coping with the challenges in agriculture and food brought about by climate change; sought to identify appropriate entry points at both policy and implementation levels for integrating climate change adaptation strategies into development plans; and explored possible partnerships between and among APAN, SEARCA, other APAN nodes, governments, and other development organizations to actively collaborate on research, capacity building, and other activities to mainstream adaptation strategies in the agriculture sector.
