    Adapt with local knowledge

    Introduction
    The simplest ideas and technologies can have a big effect on local communities and can be the most effective to fight poverty, transform lives, increase food security, protect the environment and safeguard people from vulnerabilities and risks.

    However simple or sophisticated, an idea can provide long-term, appropriate and practical answers. The most effective ideas have been developed and optimized by the hands of local people and have created jobs, improved health, livelihoods, and helped people have better lives. In addition, many communities have developed new technologies, methods and practices to address new issues such as climate change.

    The following competition gives you the opportunity to show others what methods, practices and skills have been developed or are being used in your local communities and allows this knowledge to be used by others to improve lives, protect the environment, adapt to climate change and cope with extreme events (such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, etc.).

    12. Title
    Provide a short title on the method, skill, tool etc. that your local community is using to deal with issues related to climate change and food security (it can be related just to climate change or to food security or to both).
    13. Introduction
    Provide a short introduction on the method, skill, or tool, where it is being used and what benefits it brings.
    14. Where and when can it be used
    Indicate where and when this method, skill, or tool can be used and will be effective, for example in what climate or ground/soil conditions can it be used, or what time of year. Specify at what scale it can be used at, e.g. is it at the household, farm, village or at a larger scale.
    15. Who is it for?
    Is the method you describe for a particular group of people (e.g. farmers, fisher people, youths, women, etc.)?
    16. Design/development/set up and use of the method, skill or tool
    Provide a clear step-by-step, description of how to design/develop/set-up and use the tool or the method. List the materials required and any other resources needed.
    17. Use and maintenance
    Explain how the tool or method is used once it is established and if any maintenance is required for its efficient use.
    18. How long does it take
    Describe how long it takes to prepare/establish/learn the tool or method and indicate time lines for using and maintaining.
    19. Where can't it be used or precautions that need to be taken
    Indicate in what circumstances the method/practice or tool will not be effective (for example cant be used in certain soil types, climate, animals or food crop) and any precautions which need to be considered to be effective (i.e. what things need to be done at what time to ensure that everything goes smoothly).
    20. Example of local benefits
    Give some examples of how this tool/method/skill has benefited your local community (e.g. increased production of food, prevent flooding, improved food storage, increased freshwater availability, etc.). Also indicate if and how you have promoted this tool in your community.
    21. References additional information
    If available, provide references or links to additional information.
    22. Credits/Acknowledgements
    Provide any acknowledgments of individuals in your local communities who help discover/develop/create this tool or method (if it's known).
    Please feel free to send additional drawings or photos which will help explain your tool or method. These can be sent directly to children-youth@fao.org. Please include your name and "Entry Code" in the e-mail (your entry code will be given to you once you register this information)

    		NOTES
    Once you have finalized the registration process you will be provided with an Entry Code (user ID) which you need to quote when making your submission. The Entry Code should be in the e-mail, file name or on the envelope that contains your submission (please also include your name).

    Each entry will have to have a separate registration, this will allow us to generate an on-line database as was done on the previous competition, see: YUNGA\gallery.

    We know its time consuming but think how long it would take us to put all your information in the database :o)
