Scaling Bundled Agro-Climate Advisory Services for Integrated Aquaculture-Agriculture Systems in Zambia

Abstract

Agriculture and aquaculture systems in Zambia, as in many sub-Saharan African countries, are vulnerable to climate risks which affect the quality and quantity of crops and fish production. Through AICCRA’s work on scaling climate-smart agriculture and climate information services to enhance farmers’ resilience to climate change, four training workshops were conducted in four sites in Zambia, at Mansa, Lusaka, Chipata and Kitwe. The aim was to scale up adoption of bundled climate information services (CIS) and climate-smart agriculture/aquaculture (CSA) in the agriculture and aquaculture systems in Zambia.
