increase carbon sinks. Improve breeding and health of livestock None None Strengthen livelihood activities through source of food/milk, labour for agricultural purposes. None Increase in methane emissions from cattle. None Increase in relative number of livestock. 1 Increase coverage of irrigation systems Increased crop production strengthen rural livelihoods of farmers through income generation, if temperature rises and rainfall patterns change. None Potential for increase in production of crops with positive livelihood implications. Potential negative implications on irrigated productivity with temperature rise and changing rainfall patterns. None Potential loss of natural habitat and/or displacement of people for construction. Irrigation systems constructed in areas of human settlement. 2 Improve trade in agricultural products and access to markets for farmers None None Improved access to markets for income generation and purchasing of required agricultural inputs for farming. None None None Fair and equitable access to markets with efficient transport systems. 2 Improve effectiveness and resourcing of agricultural extension services Increase in farmers’ ability to adapt to changes in rainfall and water available as well as temperature rise for the cultivation of crops, through training and capacity building. Potential to reduce of soil tillage and hence carbon dioxide emissions. Increase in farmers’ capacity to sustainably manage and potentially increase crop cultivation, with positive implications on livelihoods.
