Аннотация

Описание

In Cambodia, more than 40 % of the rural poor suffer from food insecurity. The increasing market demand for vegetable and fruits provides a huge opportunity for small holder farmers and processors, in particular women to increase income and food security. The Cambodia Horticulture Advancing Income and Nutrition (CHAIN) project supports farmers and processors in increasing sustainable production, income and resilience in four of the poorest provinces of Cambodia - Kratie, Stung Treng, Preah Vihear and Oddar Manchey. With the particular focus on the fruits and vegetables sector, CHAIN tackles market system constraints to improve the service delivery to poor farmers households, women headed households and ethnic minorities. CHAIN will support smallholder farmers to diversify into growing fruit and vegetables through the introduction of modern horticultural techniques and market linkages required to generate much-needed additional income, and it will also address poor household nutrition by supporting a diversification of diets.

Факторы риска

Угрозы, возникающие в результате ухудшения состояния окружающей среды

Название угрозы

Вредители и эпидемии

Последствие

Loss of income and crop production

Описание последствия

The invasion of flea beetle larvae (Chrysomelidae: Alticini) leads to a severe destruction of vegetables, especially root and leaf vegetables. Flea beetles execute their most severe attacks during dry weather and are most active on sunny days. Occurrence increased in the past 3-4 years.

Тяжесть

Средний ущерб

Выбранная уязвимость

Increased pressure on smallholder farmers and income, loss in crop and vegetable production, low means of savings, limited knowledge of mitigation measures.

Степень вероятности

Значительность

Средний уровень риска

Выбранный фактор риска

Да

Потенциальная мера Training of trainers and smallholder farmer groups on Integrated Pest Management (IPM), validated IPM technologies and vegetable varieties.

Комментарии Smallholder farmers have poor knowledge of adequate and integrated pest control (biological, eco-friendly measures). Overuse of chemical pesticides is a risk.

Выбранная мера

Да

Потенциальная мера Promote policy development on (bio)pesticides and other applicable technologies.

Комментарии Training of trainers and workshops / policy advocacy on IPM regulations.

Выбранная мера

Да

Природные угрозы (гидрометеорологические и геологические)

Название угрозы

Наводнения, внезапные паводки

Последствие

Destruction of crops and vegetables, loss of income

Описание последствия

Weather patterns are increasingly unpredictable: increased heavy rainfall, flooding, unpredictable start of the rainy season. Long-lasting episodes with too much rain cause rotting of rice plants & vegetables during rainy season. The existing drainage and irrigation practices used by communities are largely insufficient to ensure the survival of crops and seeds during and after intense rain episodes followed by severe droughts. No sufficient early warning system is in place, neither for households nor for the agricultural sector. Current weather forecasts and traditional knowledge have proven inaccurate and unreliable.

Тяжесть

Средний ущерб

Выбранная уязвимость

Communities' coping mechanisms are overwhelmed. Frequent (often annual) and often complete loss of crop production.

Степень вероятности

Высокий уровень риска

Выбранный фактор риска

Да

Потенциальная мера Implement a flood early warning system (EWS)

Комментарии Installation of automated river gauges and design of a mobile-phone early warning system (sms, voice message) freely and publicly accessible, in cooperation with national/provincial authorities.

Выбранная мера

Да

Потенциальная мера Improve drainage capacities in high flood risk areas

Комментарии Communities lack technical knowledge and financial resources to develop adequate and efficient irrigation and drainage systems. Highly localized variations in exact needs. Responsibility is with the Provincial authorities (PDWRAM).

Потенциальная мера Adaptation of agricultural practices at farmers level

Комментарии Raised vegetable beds, improved access to water (wells, ponds, climate-smart technologies incl. pumps, rainwater harvesting), mulching, early maturing varieties, protected nurseries.

Выбранная мера

Да

Название угрозы

Засуха

Последствие

Destruction of crops and vegetables, loss of income

Описание последствия

Higher irregularity of the rainy/dry seasons: earlier onset of the hot season, prolonged duration of the dry season, and shortened rainy season.

Тяжесть

Чрезвычайно большой ущерб

Выбранная уязвимость

Communities' coping mechanisms are overwhelmed. Loss of crop production due to disruption of the traditional planting-replanting-harvesting cycle. Traditional knowledge is no longer applicable.

Степень вероятности

Весьма вероятно

Значительность

Высокий уровень риска

Выбранный фактор риска

Да

Потенциальная мера Training to smallholder farmers and vegetables farmer groups on climate-smart technologies and DRR

Комментарии Identify suitable solutions & technologies on water access, storage and distribution according to local conditions (farmers' needs, retailers, soil and geology). Train farmers on suitable technologies and agricultural practices adapted to a changing climate, e.g. mulching, irrigation, water-efficient crops, wind erosion, solar coverage, seed variety demonstrations, seeds/crops more resistant to floods and droughts.

Выбранная мера

Да

Потенциальная мера Risk transfer mechanisms

Комментарии Some farmer groups have saving components. Small to medium insurance businesses are entering Northern Cambodia only slowly due to little economic interest (yet).

Последствие

Long-term lack of water availability

Описание последствия

Water scarcity and droughts are relatively new in the project area (tropical Aw climate). Water resources are used without regulation. Available water resources are inadequately monitored or unknown. Groundwater levels are declining at an estimated rate of 20cm/year, but no consistent water resources monitoring is in place.

Тяжесть

Чрезвычайно большой ущерб

Выбранная уязвимость

Agricultural sector and smallholder farmers are already not prepared to droughts or water scarcity. Further water usage by the growing agricultural sector will put more pressure on water resources and aggravate the situation.

Воздействие

Воздействие на окружающую среду

Компонент проекта

Commercial and homestead producers and processors increase productivity (incl. year-round production)

Потенциальное отрицательное воздействие

Increased use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides

Значительность Farmers struggle to manage insect infestations and often rely on chemical pesticides. Lack of knowledge and wrong perceptions about pesticides, underestimation of the health risks and easy access to illegal and hazardous chemical pesticides persist. Enforcement of pesticide regulations is still expected weak.

Выбранное воздействие

Да

Потенциальная мера Promote the use of organic fertilizers and pesticides, etc., and judicious use of chemicals when no other solutions are available.

Выбранная мера

Да

Потенциальное отрицательное воздействие

Increased use of (ground)water resources

Значительность Water is the mayor obstacle to produce more cycles of crops and to intensify production. Access to water and the use of appropriate water storage and distribution technologies are critical to commercial vegetable farming, as it allows farmers to continue production at times of high demand and higher prices.

Выбранное воздействие

Да

Потенциальная мера Market-based introduction of drought-resistant crop varieties and technologies to increase water use efficiency

Комментарии Promote water access (wells, ponds, pumps, rainwater harvesting), increase crop per drop by mulching, drought resistant varieties, and collaborate with private sector to develop a market-system for affordable water solutions.
