Gabsongkeg farmer video gets ok for publishing

The Climate Smart Agriculture project’s main objective is to find meaningful ways to help farmers improve agricultural production and increase their resilience in light of the negative effectives of climate change.

The University of Goroka’s Centre for Social and Creative Media and NARI after working together on farmer videos got the approval from farmers at Gabsongkeg village in Wampar LLG of Huon district to publish their video.

CSCM and NARI have been collaborating with farmers on the ACIAR-supported Climate Smart Agriculture by documenting farmer videos which portray how they are able to survive through natural disasters using traditional knowledge and skills to mitigate climate change.

Gabsongkeg farmers in Morobe are among other farmers from Aiyura in Eastern Highlands and Kerevat in East New Britain who have worked with the team to document traditional knowledge and skills. NARI and the CSCM team are grateful to the farmers from Morobe, Eastern Highlands and East New Britain for their indigenous knowledge and friendship over the life of the CSA project through their stories that

were video documented.
