Smallholder farms in four unique agroecological regions in Myanmar were targeted in this participatory study. Key support systems are needed for effective community engagement in implementing Climate Smart Villages (CSV). Farmers in the CSVs identified a menu of adaptation options that they would test, adopt and scale. This “portfolio approach” ensured there were opportunities for men, women, and landless households to participate in the community adaptation process. The research suggests that land tenure regimes influence the nature of the adaptation options and their eventual uptake. The study provides geographic and climate details specific to each region and relates them to perceptions of smallholder households.
