Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience
Farmers and businesses alike are increasingly embracing a wide range of agriculture technologies to boost crop yields and become more resilient in the face of climate change. Globally, this has translated to a smart farming market that is forecast to reach US$23.1 billion by 2022 - more than double the 2017 levels.
There are, however, many well-reported barriers preventing delivery and delaying adaptation in Southeast Asia, which lags behind other regions in climate adaptation.
Grow Asia is currently developing a work plan in collaboration with our partners to deliver the following broad objectives:
Consolidate the knowledge base
— by gathering information, reports, and case studies into an open community of practice
Promote
information transfer
— by accelerating adaptive
learning via training events, demos, and field visits
Support country-level
capacity building
— by curating a vault of tailor-made resources and climate consultants
Support the
research community
— by piloting solutions arising from academic studies and commercial R&D programs
Extend delivery
to the last mile
— by establishing a cost-effective ASEAN-wide database of consultants and climate experts to support implementation by public, private, and NGO sector
Design and mobilize
blended finance
— by aggregating public/private climate-linked investments for smallholder agriculture and streamlining delivery to reduce fragmentation
