Project Summary
The increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters expose smallholder farmers in many APEC economies to multiple risks. Their limited adaptive capacity, lack of access to financial and technological resources, and the destruction of agricultural infrastructure threaten their livelihoods and food security in the Asia- Pacific region.
Strengthening the resilience of smallholder farmers, promoting economic stability, and enhancing rural development and trade is necessary for sustainable growth and improved economic and social well-being of the people.
A two-day workshop will be held in Peru for the exchange of best practices in the implementation of plans, programs and initiatives for preparedness, response and rehabilitation to natural disasters in the agriculture sector which will strengthen actions for the resilience and adaptation capacities of smallholder farmers. A report summarizing the results of the research study, which includes the collection and analysis of information (survey of APEC economies) will be prepared.
