In my community, agroforestry and terracing are successful Community-Based Adaptation practices used to reduce soil erosion, flooding, and crop losses caused by heavy rainfall. Local farmers and elders actively participate in planning and decision-making through community meetings, ensuring the use of indigenous trees, mixed cropping, and organic manure. These practices have improved soil fertility, stabilized slopes, and strengthened food security, while reflecting local values of land stewardship and cooperation. Although some traditional practices are declining due to migration and reliance on modern inputs, integrating them with technical support and local funding under the Locally-Led Adaptation framework can sustain and scale their impact.
