FARM-D podcast – Episode 6: Climate change and rural farmers’ resilience

Focus Topic:
Climate / Weather / Environment

The effects of Climate Change are already being felt in agricultural systems and will further exacerbate agricultural risk, with increasing frequency, intensity, and unpredictability impacting the lives of smallholder farmers. Within this context, it is crucial to support rural farmers with tools that can strengthen their capacity to adapt, mitigate and cope with the effects of climate change.

Through the case study of Tunisia, we discuss the subject with our guest, Samar Zaidi, Responsible for strengthening the agro-economic services of professional agricultural organizations at the Union of Agricultural Producers International Development (UPA) in Tunisia and Member of the Rural Economics Laboratory at the National Institute of Agronomic Research of Tunisia.
