FGV EAESP

With the proposal to support the development of strategies to promote adaptation to climate change by family farmers in Essuatíni (Africa), this project began with a methodological sharing between FGVces and members of the government of Essuatíni interested in the study carried out in the region of the Alto Tietê Basin in São Paulo (see Cinturão + Verde). This step was followed by the elaboration of a socio-territorial diagnosis and an analysis of the risks and vulnerabilities of climate change with the objective of: knowing the profile of farmers and agricultural production in the country; understanding how changes in weather patterns have impacted and can impact local food production and the living conditions of farmers. The knowledge generated was disseminated mainly through a cycle of three face-to-face workshops held in three territories of the country, with about 120 participants, including farmers and public managers. There was also a face-to-face event to close the project on the campus of Queen Mary University in London.
