Network for socio-ecological resilience to climatic adversities

The effects of climate change create new challenges for family farmers and the technical agricultural institutions that assist them. They demand greater adaptive capacity from Family Farming (FF), and push researchers and extension workers to design new ways of tackling the problems under consideration together with new devices and strategies to apply in the territory. This demand gives rise to joint creation and generation of knowledge and capabilities. In 2017, FONTAGRO organized a Call for Projects in order to select proposals that address the need for innovation in sustainable intensification of FF productive systems facing climate variability and change.
