Greening MSD examples

What does greening the MSD approach look like in practice in agricultural programmes?
The examples here provide intervention snapshots, illustrating practical applications of the guidance found in Greening the MSD approach for agricultural programmes.

Commercialising drought-tolerant rice seeds in Indonesia

The PRISMA programme worked for four years with five seed companies to promote drought-resistant high-yielding varieties (HYV) of rice seed that can withstand climate fluctuations, including drier weather.

Sustainable innovations in the Malawi poultry sector

CASA’s work in the poultry sector promotes carbon mitigation, climate resilience, and stronger agribusiness models through sustainable energy, eco-friendly feed, and climate-adaptive practices.

Carbon mitigation and resilience in the Malawi aquaculture sector

CASA’s work in aquaculture promotes carbon mitigation and climate resilience by integrating crop farming, tree planting, and sustainable pond management, while boosting productivity and supporting stronger agribusiness models for smallholder farmers.

Increasing the sustainability of the Nepal vegetable sector

CASA’s work in the vegetable sector supports carbon mitigation and climate resilience by promoting organic fertilisers, reducing food waste, and enhancing water management, while investing in climate-resilient seeds and farming technologies to help farmers adapt to climate challenges.

Integrating climate mitigation and resilience in Nepal’s dairy sector

CASA’s work in the dairy sector supports carbon mitigation and climate resilience by promoting energy efficiency, forage-based dairy production, and reduced food loss, while providing technical assistance to enhance smallholder farming practices and improve climate adaptation.
