P R O B L E M S T A T E M E N T : C L I M A T E C H A N G E A N D A G R I C U L T U R E I N E G Y Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture • Rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and extreme weather events are negatively impacting crop yields, pest and disease incidence, income generation, and in some cases, food security12. • By 2040, wheat yields are expected to decline by 12%, vegetables by 28%, maize by 47%, and rice by 26 to 47%. Implementation Rate of New Adaptation Solutions • Despite consistent efforts to enhance the institutional arrangements to address climate change in the agriculture sector, the actual implementation of climate change adaptation strategies has yet to reach Egypt’s farmers and workers in the agro-food industry. • There is limited availability and accuracy of data and limited institutional capacity to undertake enhanced climate planning through effective cross- sectoral coordination • The lack of technology transfer is another important challenge to overcome Large Producers vs Small Holder Farmers • The implementation rate of new adaptation solutions varies between large producers and smallholder farmers. • Smallholder farmers are one of the most vulnerable groups to climate change, yet efforts to support farmer adaptation are hindered by the lack of information on how they are experiencing and responding to climate change

Highlight Egypt's vulnerability to climate impacts, such as increased water scarcity, heatwaves, and rising sea levels. • Introduce the concept of community-based adaptation (CBA) as a critical approach to building resilience and achieving sustainable development in the face of these challenges. Briefly explain how CBA empowers local communities to identify their own vulnerabilities, develop and implement adaptation strategies, and manage their resources sustainably. 1/11/2024 Sample Footer Text 7

- 13. SMALLHOLDER FARMERS Smallholder farmers in Southern Egypt are facing several challenges that make them particularly vulnerable. The most prominent of these are limited productive capacity because of land fragmentation, limited water resources, inefficient irrigation, limited access to technical support, and severe exposure to climate risks. 20XX PITCH DECK 13
- 14. INTERVENTIONS OBJECTIVE 20XX PITCH DECK 14 support smallholder farming communities of Southern Egypt and increase their resilience through awareness and knowledge, reducing losses due to extreme weather, improving irrigation techniques, introducing adaptive crop production techniques, diversification of livelihoods, and building institutional capacity both at community and policy level.
