CCAC has worked with Nigeria to conduct satellite-derived analytics to determine locations where no-burn and climate smart agricultural interventions can be applied in Nigeria; this work produced open burning mapping that the proposed project can build on. Project reference: Nigeria - Abatement of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) in the Nigerian Agricultural Sector by Reducing Open Field Burning (No Burn Alternatives) [NG-22-003] Objectives This project will achieve by it's completion: The government and farmers increase their knowledge and capacity on the implementation of no burn alternative practices  The government’s extension service increases its capacity on climate smart agriculture practices The farmers uptake farming practices that lead to reduced open burning What we're doing This project will deliver at a minimum: Advocacy engagement and outreach activities with farmer groups, farmer organizations, key agriculture sector opinion leaders and groups in selected geopolitical zones with high incidence of open burning prevalence. Trainings and demonstrations of no-burn/alternative practices to pilot farmer groups in selected geopolitical zones, with the aim of increasing adoption of these practices Capacity building to extension services staff in federal and state ministries for continued, sustainable diffusion of the training outcomes leading to the sustainability of the project.  Tags Regions Africa Pollutants (SLCPs) Black carbon Methane Tropospheric ozone Themes Agriculture
