What did we do?
The CASCADE project was a multidisciplinary research and action project designed to promote greater understanding and use of EbA as an adaptation strategy for smallholder farmers through applied research, training activities, outreach and policy events. We used farmer surveys, field work, modeling, on-line surveys and expert workshops to understand how climate change will impact farmers, identify those most in need and characterize the EbA options that can help farmers adapt to climate change in the region. We organized multiple technical and policy events with policy makers, agronomists, farmers and other key stakeholders (at subnational, national and international levels) to highlight the impacts of climate change on smallholder farmers and emphasize the potential for EbA to help farmers adapt to these changes.
