Subject: [ccardesa] Video - What does Climate Smart Agriculture mean

Climate-Smart Agriculture has to do with the urgent transformation needed in agriculture for adaptation to climate change without the depletion of the natural resource base.
FAO and a variety of partner organizations developed a Sourcebook on Climate-Smart Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries that can be accessed on http://www.fao.org/3/i3325e/i3325e.pdf

Interesting to listen to how people understand climate smart agriculture. Their understanding purely reflect the institutions they come from.

Let us look at the demand trends for wheat in the region and on that basis decide whether our promotion of the said crop is in response to market demand conditions or not. The same principle can also be applied to other commodities.

Agree 100%. Lets promote indigenous crops. Wheat/bread will not get us anywere in this region. Besides its nutritive value is very poor despite what we have been made to believe all these years.

Besides being a colonial mono-crop, wheat is not an ideal crop for a changing climate. CCARDESA should promote adaptive coalitions of crops as part of promoting resilient food systems. Southern Africa has more than 100 food commodities produced by diverse categories of farmers, ranging from smallholder to medium scale. Among these crops are several wheat substitutes ripe for promotion.

Dear Sir/Madam,



Thank you for your mail.



You may wish to note that a study was conducted from 2008 to 2010 on the wheat cultivation in Mauritius. Though wheat can be cultivated under local conditions, there are numerous problems associated with its production even on small scale namely:



i) Bird attacks can result in major crop losses ranging from 30% to 100% and most damage occur during the grain filling and ripening stages;

ii) Harvest and post-harvest losses are observed as wheat cultivation is not suitable in sub-humid regions and super-humid regions due to rise in temperature and high precipitation associated with high disease pressure respectively;

iii) The average cost for producing 1kg of wheat amounts to MUR 14.4 while the average unit import cost is MUR 7.5; and

iv) Mechanised production is a major bottleneck due to unavailability of highly suitable land for mechanical cultivation.



Moreover, another pilot study was carried out in 2011 with the aim of investigating the possibilities of wheat cultivation in Mauritius. The small harvest made in 2015 was analysed and found to be of forage quality.

Furthermore, since the annual flour requirements of Mauritius are derived from some 170,000 tonnes of wheat, the land cultivation area might be around 30,000 hectares. However, given the specific characteristics of flour, which are derived from specific blends of wheats, and the prices of wheat available on international markets, it is improbable that local wheat production could significantly satisfy Mauritian needs, or that such cultivation would be economically viable.



In these circumstances, it is not feasible for Mauritius to avail of the opportunity of indulging in wheat production.

Subject: [ccardesa] CCARDESA Study reveals opportunities for Wheat Production in Southern Africa



CCARDESA commissioned a study on sustainable and competitive small holder wheat production and marketing in southern Africa in order to address the wheat deficit in the region. Dr. Munyinda one of the consultants involved in the study, presented the study’s findings at the Regional Policy Dialogue which was held in Maputo, Mozambique from 20-22 November, 2018. The findings revealed a 72% deficit of wheat production. Furthermore, that consumption of wheat is higher than its production in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. CCARDESA calls to action African countries to seize this 72% gap as an opportunity to venture in wheat growing and to blend wheat with flours from other locally produced crops such as sorghum and cassava. If this call is not headed, African countries will continue depleting their hard earned foreign revenue to import wheat thereby stretching their national treasuries. To find out more please follow this link: http://www.ccardesa.org/ccardesa-study-reveals-opportunities-wheat-produ...



Is it possible for Sub-Saharan Countries to meet this deficit? What needs to happen for wheat production in these countries to go to a surplus?
