Abstract

The presentation provides background to Myanmar’s agricultural economy and the men and women who grow and process food. Climate change vulnerability adds to the instability of food security and human nutrition. A pilot project for four “climate smart villages” (CSV) is testing and developing technical, social, and institutional adaptation innovation using community-based adaptation approaches. Increasing the diversity of agricultural activities may improve the intake of a variety of foods, while community-based adaptation approaches build on Indigenous knowledge.
