اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]This bulletin showcases some adaptive solutions developed by farmers of the Analanjirofo region along with the support needed to improve their capacity to adapt to cyclone intensification. Traditional clove crops are under threat. Following cyclone events, clove trees planted on wind-exposed slopes remain leafless and unproductive for years. Participating farmers studied pepper, vanilla and coffee as substitute crops more resistant to cyclones. These have an agile support structure that can regenerate in less than a year after the passage of a storm. To ensure food security and help farmers cope with economic shifts, two varieties of short-cycle rice were also piloted in farmers’ fields.
