  1. Exploring the Agricultural Innovation Continuum – The Case of Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project Dr. Ladisy K. Chengula, Lead Agriculture Economist Agriculture Global Practice, The World BankEmail: Lchengula@worldbank.org Agriculture Research Conference September 13, 2018

  2. The Context

  3. Attaining SDG 1 and SDG 2 depends on ensuring food system is productive, resilient, and contributes to tackling climate change… Meeting the rising demand for food and ending hunger and food insecurity requires climate-smart food system that: Improves agricultural productivity; Builds resilience to climate change; and Lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project (KCSAP) aims to address tradeoffs and synergies to secure these triple-wins: productivity, adaptation, andmitigation.

  4. World food demand will be 40% higher by 2050 … MORE FOOD +17% +47% +155% +27% +51%

  5. Demand for non-cereal crops will increase the most … DIFFERENT FOOD

  6. TOMORROW – The Food System could be THE Climate Change Problem … SUST. FOOD Projections of Global, Agriculture and Land Use Change Related Emissions towards 2050 (Gt CO2e) Global Emissions: 49.1 Gt Agriculture Business As Usual Ag. Reduces Proportionalto Other Sectors Global Emissions: 21-22 Gt Global Emissions: 21-22 Gt ~70%of Total 25% 5.4 Gt LULUCF* 5.4 Gt LULUCF* ~25%of Total 11% - 5.5 Gt 60% GAP 9.5 Gt Agriculture 6.4 Gt Agriculture 45% 14% 4 Gt Agriculture 4 GT Agriculture TODAY 2050 - ‘2C’ Ensuring Emission Level WRI 2013 *Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry

  7. Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asian Countries are Considerably More Vulnerable to Climate Change and Variability than Much of the Rest of the World …

  8. Kenya must adopt a growing spectrum of interventions – policies, practices, and innovations – to secure triple-wins to achieve food and nutrition security, and broader development goals under a changing climate and increasing food demand What does all this mean for Kenya? 8

  9. How can Kenya achieve climate-smart agriculture?… Sustained agricultural productivity gains require investments that build resilience to climate shocks and climate change Agriculture needs to reduce its GHG emissions and become part of the solution to tackle climate change Realigning incentive policies currently in place can improve the climate smartness of the food system A renewed urgency is needed to sustain climate-smart agricultural research to deliver needed science-based solutions

  10. A Case Study: Climate –Smart Agriculture in Kenya

  11. In Kenya Drought is the Most Significant Driver of Volatility in Agriculture Production …

  12. Kenya has adopted Climate Change Policies, Strategies and Plans … National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS, 2010) National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP, 2012) - operationalizes the NCCRS, focus on low-carbon, climate-resilient development for achieving SDG 13 (combating climate change and its impacts) Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) - energy, transport, industry, agriculture, forestry and waste management Kenya Climate Change Bill (2014) Climate-Smart Agriculture Program (CSAP, 2015–2030) National Policy on Climate Finance (2015) Country Climate Risk Profile (2015) – with TA from CIAT County Climate Risk Profiles (32 done – 13 ongoing) – with TA from CIAT

  13. A conceptual framework for the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project (KCSAP) … Project Development Objective (PDO) “To increase agricultural productivity and build resilience to climate change risks in the targeted smallholder farming and pastoral communities in Kenya, and in the event of an Eligible Crisis or Emergency, to provide immediate and effective response.” PDO/Outcome Indicators Direct project beneficiaries (number), of which female (percent); Productivity Indicator - Increased in productivity of selected crops, livestock, and aquaculture value chains (percent); and Resilience Indicator - Direct project beneficiaries adopting at least one TIMP promoted by the project (percent).

  14. Project Area - 24 Counties selected using agreed criteria …

  15. KCSAP focuses on increasing productivity, building resilience, with reducing GHG emissions - as a co-benefit … Improving water/soil management, especially within smallholder maize systems in the marginal rainfall zones [(i.e. insmallholder mixed crop-livestock, crop-livestock-tree production (Agro-silvo-pastoral systems), and crop-forest production (agro-forestry)], andvalue addition Promoting sustainable, community‐driven rangeland management, value addition, and improved access to quality livestock services in ASALs (i.e. inpastoral/extensive livestock production systems) Supporting the generation and dissemination of technologies and innovations, and building a sustainable seed system Supporting Climate-Smart knowledge generation and enhancing quality and access to climate/advisory services among farmers/herders for improved production decision-making
