Description:
"Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach for developing actions needed to transform
and reorient agricultural systems to effectively support development and ensure food security
under climate change. CSA aims to tackle three main objectives: sustainably increasing
agricultural productivity and incomes; adapting and building resilience to climate change; and
reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions, where possible
(http://www.fao.org/climate-smart-agriculture-sourcebook/concept/en/).
FAOs CCA foresee a broader approach, working to build synergies among social protection
and climate change to achieve sustainable growth and eliminate rural poverty. FAO uses a
“twin-track” approach, on the one hand taking immediate steps to protect and support
agriculture, food and nutrition, and on the other addressing in the longer term the underlying
factors driving risks, disasters and crises. FAO’s work focuses on developing, protecting and
restoring sustainable livelihoods so that the integrity of societies that depend on farming,
livestock, fish, forests and other natural resources is not threatened by crises. CSA uses a
comprehensive approach in seeking to improve rural livelihoods, increasing the productivity
and resilience of poor communities, including rural women and girls, while also providing
mitigation benefits.
Climate-smart agriculture is a holistic system applicable to big farms cultivating thousands of
acres as well as smallholder farmers who live and work on fewer than 10 acres of land. The
principles can have positive effects for farmers, the land, water, and wildlife. It helps reduce
the negative impacts of climate change to agriculture and boost positive ones, protecting agroecosystems, and promoting healthier, more resilient landscapes, which in the aggregate,
contributes to climate change mitigation and food security.
Being an agricultural country, Myanmar economy mainly relies on agriculture. In Myanmar,
most of the people consider “Agriculture” as the production of crops. However, it has a wider
scope not only crop and livestock production but also covers fisheries and forest management.
Agriculture sector contributed to 28.6 % of total export earnings in 2015-2016 and employed
61.25 % of the labour force (MOALI, 2017)..."

Description:
"Is it possible for Myanmar to take a path to
sustainable development that would avoid
the pitfalls of the orthodox development
paradigm? This report argues that this is not
only necessary but possible.
Before elucidating this alternative paradigm,
the report discusses Myanmar?s economic
past and where it?s headed under the current
paradigm. Starting with land and agriculture,
it explains how the repressive extraction of
the agricultural surplus coupled with massive
land-grabbing produced a crisis-ridden and
stagnant agriculture during the military
regime. It then argues that the
Agriculture
Development Strategy and Investment Policy
(ADS) proposed by the multilateral agencies
will simply insert Myanmar into a regional
process of agricultural and natural resource
extraction that is termed, euphemistically,
the ?value chain,” and further a process of
?accumulation by dispossession” of peasant
households and ethnic communities stemming
from a fatal combination of coercive and
market mechanisms.
The paper then moves to a discussion of
industrial policy, where it probes how and
why the military regime?s experiments with
industrialization failed, after which it lays
out a critique of the foreign investment-led
and export-oriented industrialization process
promoted by the Japanese government,
subjecting to close scrutiny the key pillars of
this strategy: economic corridors to promote
regional connectivity, special economic
zones (SEZ?s), and the ?fragmentation” of
the process of production that is supposed to
benefit Myanmar.
In the next section, the report takes up the
debate over Myanmar?s energy future and
closely examines the pros and cons of the coal,
hydro, and renewable energy paths, showing
how the coal and hydro options, are strongly
influenced in part by corporate, institutional,
and geopolitical interests, while raising some
issues with respect to one of the proposed
renewable energy strategies.
Moving from energy policy to a discussion
of an extremely influential economic group,
the so-called cronies, the paper takes a close
look at the different conglomerates that have
been favored by the military regime which
now dominate Myanmar?s economy, touches
on the National League for Democracy (NLD)
government?s current relations with them,
and discusses the likely future of the cronies
in the foreign investment-led strategy favored
by the Japanese and the international donors.
It comes to the conclusion that without
significant restitution for past plunder and
strict tax rules aimed at redistributing a
significant part of their wealth, the cronies
will not desist from their predatory ways, thus
jeopardizing the country?s economic future.
Finally moving on to the proposal for an
alternative development paradigm, the report
first lays out its critique of the neoliberal
paradigm that guides the proposed strategies
coming from the donors, using Karl Polanyi?s
concept of the ?dis-embedded market.”
An alternative strategy or Post-Neoliberal
Paradigm (PNP) in contrast, would essentially
be one where the market is re-embedded
in and governed by a matrix of overarching
values.
The paper then recommends an agriculture-
led PNP for Myanmar, laying out the key
principles that would guide it, such as the
priority of equality, synergy between the
economy and the environment, subsidiarity,
and democratic decision-making in all aspects
of economic management. With respect
to the role of the agricultural sector in the
PNP, the report contends that among the key
institutional preconditions for the success of
such an approach would be the establishment
of a body to dispense agrarian justice and the
repeal and amendment of a number of land-
related laws.
Moving on, the paper proposes an agriculture-
and countryside-led industrialization process
promoted by local community enterprises,
cooperatives, small and medium private
enterprises, and state enterprises that focus
on socially useful production such as making

industrial inputs for organic agriculture,
medicinal products for treating tropical
diseases and relieving pain, and solar and
renewable energy devices for a decentralized
renewable energy path.
The elements of an alternative trade strategy
are then highlighted, followed by a discussion
of what a solar-based energy infrastructure
would entail. The report concludes with a
discussion of process and proposes principles
that would guide the elaboration and
implementation of an alternative PNP..."

Description:
"... This piece of community initiated action research reveals a number of lessons we can learn. The authors try to reflect the challenges of and opportunities for community based natural resources management in a seemingly forgotten Karen controlled area of southern Myanmar. The paper examines a number of case studies including the construction of a local water supply system, the establishment of fish conservation zones and community-driven forest conservation. An evolutionary development of community based networks such as CSLD (Community Sustainable Livelihood and Development), IRIP-NET (Tenasserim River and Indigenous People Network) and RKIP (Rays of Kamoethway Indigenous People and Nature) and their collaborative action to address emerging Natural Resources Management issues in their land are well illustrated in the paper..."

Description:
"Practically isolated from the global market for 50 years, Myanmar is still largely dependent on agriculture. But the country is one of the most at risk from climate change and no one feels these pressures more than the rural smallholder farmers who make up the backbone of its food system and rural economy.
Shorter monsoons and rising temperatures mean severe droughts have become more frequent in recent decades. This has led to higher levels of saltwater intrusion in important rice growing territories and an increase in the risk of complete crop failure.
Proximity Designs is a social enterprise which was founded to provide farmers with low-cost, low-tech equipment to help them adapt and thrive in their changing environment.
They ensure their products are both affordable and suitable by employing a team of data-gatherers to conduct thorough research within the farming communities. And thanks to a network of some 900 scooter-driving "field agents", their products can even find their way to the most remote parts of the country.
Russell Beard travels to Myanmar to meet the innovators behind Proximity Designs and to see how their products and expertise are helping farmers stay one step ahead in a changing world."

Description:
The reform process in Burma/Myanmar by the quasi-civilian government of President Thein Sein has raised hopes that a long overdue solution can be found to more than 60 years of devastating civil war...
Burma?s ethnic minority groups have long felt marginalized and discriminated against, resulting in a large number of ethnic armed opposition groups fighting the central government ? dominated by the ethnic Burman majority ? for ethnic rights and autonomy. The fighting has taken place mostly in Burma?s borderlands, where ethnic minorities are most concentrated. Burma is one of the world?s most ethnically diverse countries. Ethnic minorities make up an estimated 30-40 percent of the total population, and ethnic states occupy some 57 percent of the total land area and are home to poor and often persecuted ethnic minority groups. Most of the people living in these impoverished and war-torn areas are subsistence farmers practicing upland cultivation. Economic grievances have played a central part in fuelling the civil war. While the central government has been systematically exploiting the natural resources of these areas, the money earned has not been (re)invested to benefit the local population...
Conclusions and Recommendations:
The new land and investment laws benefit large corporate investors and not small- holder farmers, especially in ethnic minority regions, and do not take into account land rights of ethnic communities.
The new ceasefires have further facilitated land grabbing in conflict-affected areas where large development projects in resource-rich ethnic regions have already taken place. Many ethnic organisations oppose large-scale economic projects in their territories until inclusive political agreements are reached. Others reject these projects outright.
Recognition of existing customary and communal tenure systems in land, water, fisheries and forests is crucial to eradicate poverty and build real peace in ethnic areas; to ensure sustainable livelihoods for marginalized ethnic communities affected by decades of war; and to facilitate the voluntary return of IDPs and refugees.
Land grabbing and unsustainable business practices must halt, and decisions on the allocation, use and management of natural resources and regional development must have the participation and consent of local communities.
Local communities must be protected by the government against land grabbing. The new land and investment laws should be amended and serve the needs and rights of smallholder farmers, especially in ethnic regions.
