Climate-smart agriculture in Egypt and Jordan : Building blocks for a vision to create a climate-resilient agricultural sector

Samenvatting

In Egypt and Jordan there is a need for the agricultural sector to adapt to the changing climate and its associated pressure on the countries’ natural resources. Climate-smart agriculture is a concept that tackles the intertwined challenges focussing on food security, adaptation and mitigation in agriculture. This study aims to define building blocks, for a vision on how the Netherlands can support Egypt and Jordan in their transitions towards climate-smart agriculture in the next 10 years. Interviews were held to collect lessons learned in Dutch-funded projects over the past 4 years. Recommendations were designed based on these lessons learned and together with national actors and experts from Wageningen University and Research.
