Climate Change Adaptation and Agroecology

Climate Change Adaptation and Agroecology

 Loss of access to natural resources, compounded by climate change, has increased vulnerability in Uganda—particularly for women who rely heavily on rain-fed agriculture. Environmental degradation, insecure land tenure, erratic rainfall, and resource-based conflicts have undermined livelihoods and food security. TEDDO will prioritize climate change adaptation by supporting smallholder farmers, especially women, to adopt scalable resilience solutions, strengthen rights to land, water, and food, and protect natural ecosystems. The organization will also advocate for gender-responsive land policies, scale up its CRAEM adaptation model, and pilot affordable water-for-production technologies to sustain agriculture during dry periods, while generating evidence to influence wider practice and policy.
