The aim of the project is to systematically address the challenge of climate change regarding farmers’ livelihoods and supply chains.  This study intends to develop a methodology that enhances our understanding of vulnerabilities of supply chains from a bottom-up perspective to enable stakeholders to use the chain inherent capacity to adapt to progressive climate change.

This methodology report will describe the methodologies that were used throughout the research process to assess farmers’ vulnerability to climate change and develop supply chain and site-specific adaptation strategies and to develop a simple, useful and robust adaptation framework. The framework will facilitate a planned and purposeful adaptation process. This methodology report describes the process of identifying vulnerabilities of food supply chains, the development of adaptation options and their translation into concrete adaptation actions.
