Accessing and Using Genetic Diversity for Climate Change Adaptation
Carlo Fadda & Gloria Otieno, Bioversity International
ILRI, Addis Ababa, 16-20 November 2015
Climate Change: Some Evidence
•Climate change, floods, droughts,
unpredictable temperatures and
rainfall
•Changing pest and pathogen
populations and levels of pollination
efficiency
•Increased soil and land degradation
Major Environmental Threats to Sustainable Production
Impact on Crops in Africa
Adaptation to climate change: recommended actions
by the IPCC
Improving crop tolerance to new conditions
Improving access to gene banks to develop varieties with
appropriate adaptive characteristics
Indigenous Knowledge (IK) has developed adaptive strategies
thus contributing to food security in many parts of the world
Under conditions of change
(reducing the probability of loss of agricultural
productivity in the future, while enhance productivity
today)
The fundamental question:
Productivity and reduced vulnerability
How can we ensure that agricultural productivity increases are
accomplished in ways that create and enhance ecosystem
resilience and services for the poor?

Landraces Performance Compared With the Best
Improved Variety
The table tells that:
•21%, averaged over traits, of
the landraces are superior to
the best performer IM variety
•Many landraces mature
earlier than the IM varieties
•A yield advantage of 61%
obtained from the best
landrace over the best IM
variety (Robe)

Ethiopian Unique Genetic Diversity
The Seeds for Needs – The farmers
3. Farmers test
and report back by
mobile phone
3. Environmental data
(GPS, sensors) to assess
adaptation4. Data are used
to detect
demand for new
varieties and
traits
4. Farmers receive tailored variety
recommendations and can order seeds
The process
2. Each farmer gets a different
combination of varieties
1. A broad set of varieties
is evaluated
Participatory Evaluation
• 30 farmers per location (15
male + 15 female)
• Individual score on 5 traits for
800 plots
• > 200,000 data points

Upscaling and Outscaling Seeds for Needs
Reaching more farmers and for more crops
• Capacity development
• Approach institutionally embedded in extension services and agro-
dealer networks
• Methodology improved and expanded using ICT-based solutions
• Reaching more farmers in different countries (Kenya and Tanzania)
