dc.descriptionFrench version available in IDRC Digital Library: Kenya : améliorer les stratégies adaptatives des agriculteurs en intégrant les savoirs endogènes en matière de prévision et d'adaptation climatiquesen
dc.description.abstractThis bulletin looks at how localized “downscaled” climate information helps farmers to develop appropriate agricultural response strategies. The project ‘Managing risk, reducing vulnerability and enhancing agricultural productivity under a changing climate’ applied a participatory research approach with smallholder farmers in three Districts of Kenya to develop location-specific, simplified climate forecasts. This has led to improved adoption of agricultural technologies with the potential to enhance productivity and local adaptive capacity. Traditional forecasting indicators have become increasingly unreliable due to recent and significant changes in seasonal rainfall patterns.en
