Climate and nutrition-smart villages as platforms to address food insecurity in Myanmar
2021
Barbon, Wilson John | Myae, Chan | Gonsalves, Julian
Research findings indicate the importance of land tenure, poverty levels and specific climate risks and vulnerabilities in implementing the climate smart villages (CSV) approach in Myanmar. The “portfolio approach” to adaptation is about presenting a menu of options that households can choose to implement or not depending on their capacity. Poverty and wealth levels affect adaptation, influencing adoption choices. CSVs serve as platforms and venues for climate change adaptation wherein location-specific strategies are tested, developed and scaled up. The research also confirmed the value of social learning processes in generating the co-benefits of gender equity and nutrition.
