Description:
This is a simple, adaptable tool to measure and monitor climate adaptation in the agricultural sector, and allows comparison of adaptation efforts between farms and within farms over time. The tool is also good to make decisions on resource allocation and technical support for climate-smart farming practices, as it shows where the potential for improvement. With increasing climate change impact and risks, Solidaridad envisions that climate-relevant programs will measure and report on farmers adaptation progress. Solidaridad has started to scale up the CSI adopting across the globe and across various agricultural commodities. The application of CSI is currently active in 5 Solidaridad projects covering more than 50,000 sugarcane, cotton, coffee and cocoa farmers covering almost 500,000 ha. The CSI is a pragmatic solution to fulfil the multiple needs and benefits of adaptation progress monitoring, effectiveness and reduced climate change-related supply chain risks.
