A CASE STUDY PROFILE ON AGRICULTURE IN THE COMMUNITY OF DAGA BIRAME IN SENEGAL

The document details community-based adaptation strategies in Senegal across three sectors. In Daga Birame, a 'climate-smart village' model utilizes climate forecasts, photovoltaic-powered boreholes, and assisted natural regeneration to increase agricultural yields. In the island communities of Dionewar, the 'Epis Maltais Savard' system of stakes and palm fronds has gained 2.6 metres of beach to combat coastal erosion. In Widou Thiengoly, adaptation focuses on heatwave resilience through early warning systems, Nubian vault construction for heat protection, and reforestation supported by the Great Green Wall Agency. All three initiatives align with Senegal's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) but face common challenges including insufficient financing and limited technical capacity.

• In Daga Birame, the 'climate-smart village' initiative employs a collaborative approach involving women farmers, scientists, and technical services to implement adaptation practices such as the use of climate forecasts for crop selection and the construction of a photovoltaic solar-powered borehole for irrigation.
• Agricultural adaptation in Daga Birame includes the use of assisted natural regeneration (ANR), reforestation to reduce wind erosion and maintain moisture, and the adoption of climate-adapted seeds provided by ISRA/CNRF.
