Policies and practices for climate smart agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa: A comparative assessment of challenges and opportunities across 15 countries
Food, Agriculture and Natural Resource Policy Analysis Network, 2014This report is a product of the collaboration between the Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN) and the Earth System Governance Project, on policies for climate-smart agriculture.DocumentGender, livestock and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Costa Rica
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Costa Rica is developing a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) that will provide climate finance for best livestock management practices that generate climate change mitigation benefits.DocumentClimate-smart livestock interventions in West Africa: a review
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016The livestock sector is one of the major contributors in agriculture, by some estimates contributing up to 18% of the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.DocumentGender dynamics in rice-farming households in Vietnam: a literature review
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016This literature review is part of the CCAFS program on low emission agriculture flagship of the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security.DocumentClimate change mitigation through intensified pasture management: estimating greenhouse gas emissions on cattle farms in the Brazilian Amazon
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Cattle ranching in Brazil is a key driver of deforestation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Brazilian government plans to reduce national GHG emissions by at least 36%, partly by reducing emissions in the livestock sector through strategies such as intensification, pasture improvement, and rotational grazing.DocumentChanje Lavi Plantè in Haiti: Hillside soil conservation as a measure to increase yields and sequester carbon in Haiti
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Chanje Lavi Plantè is a three-year project in the Feed the Future (FTF) initiative. The project, implemented by Chemonics International, focuses its efforts in the Cul-de-Sac, Matheux, and lower Central Plateau areas of Haiti. The number of direct beneficiary smallholder farmers is 60,000 households, with a total of 90,000 households expected to benefit from improved income and nutrition.DocumentThe importance of reducing animal product consumption and wasted food in mitigating catastrophic climate change
John Hopkins University Press, 2015Globally about 30 percent of the food supply is never eaten. If all the world’s food losses and waste (wasted food) were represented as a country, it would be the third highest GHG emitter, after China and the United States. Additionally, food decomposing in landfills generates significant quantities of methane.DocumentThe challenges of climate change: testing climate smart agricultural solutions for improved food security
Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2016Climate change is likely to have far-reaching consequences for agriculture, natural resources and food security, demanding a response that integrates research, development and policy. Because of the disproportionate impact of climate change on the rural poor, priority investments should be directed towards poor agriculture, fish or forest dependent people whose livelihoods are most at risk.DocumentClimate change and the agriculture crisis: agroecology as a solution
Focus on the Global South, 2015This report seeks to answer several questions on climate change, its causes, how it will affect people’s lives and environment and the importance of agroecology within this.DocumentThe Mitigation Advantage: Maximizing the co-benefits of investing in smallholder adaptation initiatives
International Fund for Agricultural Development, 2015This report argues that helping farmers adapt to the impacts of climate change can also significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Pages
