19 IMPACT PRACTICAL EXAMPLES WHAT CAN TRADE DO WHAT ACTIONS AT POLICY LEVEL Loss of food to floods, drought, hail stones ( becoming more frequent) and abrupt weather changes Bududa 2007,2010 Teso 2009 Encourage investment to increase access to appropriate irrigation technologies (take care of conflicts) and crop climate insurance Implement the DRR policy and the crop climate insurance Too much water Quick growth of pastures, increased demand for mitigation of ticks, animals become prone to foot rot, and fascioliasis (heart water disease), chorela in Kampala Invest in farm input supply like UNADA Promote development of PPPs (NDP does), implement Trade policy Too little water -reduces productivity of some fishes (deep water breeders) -grasses grow too fast yielding inflorescences not edible to animals -pests increase: 1. DBM in cabbage 2. Sweet potato moth 3.maize stock borers 4. maize weevils mutate to attack in field -animals consume less and production is suppressed Promote investment in breeding types of fish (mud fish) Promote investment in hay and silage making technologies and marketing systems for them Encourage breeding for drought tolerance, Encourage market growth for dryland products like shea nut, gum Arabica, honey to diversify Mainstream Climate change into the Agric Policy Protect the Shea nut and Gum Arabica trees in the wild by law, and encourage domestication Shift in ecological range of species -Growth of flower farms -Production of more C4 crops (maize, rice, sugarcane) than others Create markets for the available products so that we increase production of those -Control placement of pollutant farms by law -Promote change of cultural attitudes on food Too much heat Edging out of some species (Crocodiles breed more males ), the zebu replaces the nganda and frezian -Feed consumption in commercial animals lower and lower production of eggs and milk -commercial animals require more space Invest in farmer extension services

20 Increased environmental humidity Kalongo hills in Pader now have fog even in the dry season -produce does not dry well and so it rots, moulds, and is not fit for human consumption Encourage investment in food stock piles, innovative receipt systems Provide for quality standards to protect consumers Implement the DSIP that addresses establishment of national silos Encourage re-growth of the farmer cooperatives Acid rain Effect depends on direction of wind visa vis fumes from pollutant factory Take care that the energy policy (on oil and gas) does sufficient abatement Plan for utilization of proceeds from oil exploration Conversion of grasslands and forests into crop land and pastures Natural forests replaced by plantations of monocultures Create market for clean energy technologies to support efficient production systems Encourage production of trees in taungya systems Encourage planting of trees in agro-forestry Advocate for growth of a carbon market that includes trees in agroforestry systems Make sure infrastructure and systems for small farmers to benefit from carbon trade and invest CDM in the development process Poor road structure Manafwa 2012 Revitalize UNRA
