This component focuses on building resilient production systems based on a regenerative model that increases resilience to climate and other shocks, and that contributes to food and nutrition security. Efforts will be taken to transition subsistence farmers to semi- commercial, and semi-commercial farmers to more commercially oriented operations. This component will seek to increase capacities, household food and nutrition security, women\u2019s inclusion in the agriculture sector, assets, and income<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

WFP\u2019s \u2018CLEAR \u0301 tool will be deployed to map out the spatial and temporal impacts of climate change and their anticipated impacts on women and men smallholder farmers and rural communities with risks and impacts disaggregated by gender. This exercise will inform how food security is affected by climate risks. The CLEAR diagnostics will enable climate resilient spatial and temporal planning for placing commodities in their appropriate agro-ecological zone, as well as for defining specific infrastructure needs as a response to anticipated climate impacts and identified commodity value chains. The resulting analysis and recommendations of CLEAR will guide the formulation of Gewog and Dzongkhag level ARPs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Drawing on the analyses of the CLEAR exercise, Agriculture Resilience Plans (ARPs) will be developed for all 37 Gewogs in the 4 target Dzongkhags. The Gewog level ARPs will be aggregated to develop a Dzongkhag level ARP. The ARPs will be developed in a participatory manner bringing together smallholder farmers, aggregators, traders, processors, potential investors, other value chain actors and relevant Gewog and Dzongkhag personnel with 50 percent participation of women. The downscaled CLEAR analysis will inform the ARPs for identifying geographic and site-specific exposure and vulnerability to anticipated climate impacts and to articulate the targeted support required for the 3 BRECSA target household groups (subsistence, semi-commercial and commercial) within each Gewog. The ARPs will include identification of resilient crop varieties, resilient livestock breeds, spatial and temporal planning of cropping and livestock raising zones, identification of site-specific agro-ecological practices, resilient spatial planning and design of infrastructure works and other climate change adaptation measures (erosion control, flood and\/or land-slide protection, water-saving technologies, water harvesting and storage facilities, disease prevention and control etc.) as per the specificities of each Gewog. The ARPs will provide the required information for developing tailored packages of climate- sensitive agricultural production inputs, technologies and practices that meet the needs of the 3 household groups with a focus on women and youth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

This sub-component will follow the principle of \u2018leaving no one behind\u2019 and provide customized support to vulnerable households - including women-headed households and households of persons with disabilities through the development and implementation of Livelihood Investment Plans through a process which enables participants to engage in critical self-reflection and setting of self- defined goals and strategies. The project will improve the nutritional status of these households by promoting nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions such as, home gardens, poultry production, selected on-farm and off-farm activities, and awareness raising on food-based nutrition. The project will also contribute to graduating these households from subsistence to semi-commercial by providing them with necessary production and post-harvest support, capacity building, inclusion in cooperatives and market linkages.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\tSub-component 1.4-Investment in commercial farming systems <\/i><\/i><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

Under this sub-component, the creation of \u201cHubs\u201d as production zones for the different BRECSA prime commodities will be undertaken. The Hubs will be located along main arteries and economic corridors and will be designed using permaculture farming principles for promoting climate resilient agro-ecological farming. Neighboring farmers will be organized into a network of Farmer Groups or Cooperatives (FG\/FCs) and linked to the Hubs. BRECSA will support the establishment of at least 4 youth-led Hubs per Dzongkhag (16 in total). Each Hub will have a maximum of 10 youth, ideally an equal mix of male and female.<\/p>

For operationalizing the above-described Hub and network model, a number of technical assistance (TA) activities will be undertaken to capacitate the different actors engaged in commodity production. The capacity development will cover permaculture, financial education and business literacy (FEBL), as well as strengthening the institutional capacities of farmer groups and cooperatives. The project will invest in enhancing productivity of the following value chains, dairy, poultry, high value commodities (vegetables, ginger, turmeric, mushrooms, honey, etc.). BRECSA will also invest in land and soil management, as well as in productive infrastructure, including irrigation, fencing and greenhouses among others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
