Scaling climate information services to reach over 100,000 farmers in Colombia

| description | Climate variability can have tremendous negative effects on farmers. Therefore, CCAFS and partners established Local Technical Agroclimatic Committees (LTACs) in Latin America to help them properly predict the weather so that crop losses can be minimized.
Through the committees, discussion is fostered around climatic and agroclimatic information provided to all committee members by researchers and scientists. More than 190 institutions in the region have now adopted the LTAC approach, and the climate information was shown to have increased productivity for about 100,000 farmers in Colombia. |
