Climate-Smart Agriculture in Iran: Strategies, Constraints and Drivers

چکیده
Although climate-smart agriculture can simultaneously decline greenhouse gas emissions, increase the adaptive capacity of farmers and improve food security under climate change, constraints drivers scaling up are not entirely addressed in developing countries. This qualitative case study was conducted on both strawberry growers agricultural experts to explore perceived causes, evidence impacts adaptation strategies used by farmers, development farms Kurdistan province, Western Iran. Findings indicated that causes change could be divided into anthropogenic natural forces. Decreased precipitation, increased temperature, dust storms, gases, forest fires, spring frosts, severe hail, floods droughts comprised most notable region. Both groups confirmed reduction yield, increasing perishability fruits, poverty, migration other social problems. Adaptation classified technical–agricultural, water conservation, farm smartening, institutional practices. However, shortage strawberry-processing industries, insufficient financial support, presence intermediaries brokers, traditional cultivation, difficulties shipping crops market, lack storage facilities equipment export terminal along with mistrust organization hinder area. Finally, several were proposed, which considered basis for providing practical suggestions planning policy making farms.

Despite its seemingly minute concentration (only 0.035 percent), CO 2 inhibits the escape of longwave (thermal) radiation emitted by the earth throughout the entire atmosphere, a process known as the “greenhouse effect.” The presenc...
