Impacts of seasonal climate communication strategies on farm management and livelihoods in Wote, Kenya
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2015This study was undertaken in Wote division, Makueni district, Eastern province, Kenya, to test the effectiveness of different methods of communicating downscaled seasonal climate forecast information, and to assess its impact on management and productivity of smallholder farms.DocumentIs Climate-Smart Agriculture effective? A review of selected cases
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2015Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is an approach to address the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change, and has three objectives: (1) sustainably increasing agricultural productivity, to support equitable increases in farm incomes, food security and development; (2) adapting and building resilience of agricultural and food security systeDocumentSustainable small ruminant breeding program for climate-smart villages in Kenya
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2015Improving productivity of sheep and goats (i.e. small ruminants- SR) under smallholder farming systems faced with challenges of unfavourable climatic events has been identified as one means of enhancing livelihoods of communities living in these areas.DocumentState of climate information products and services for agriculture and food security in Myanmar
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2015The increasing variability of seasonal climate and increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events that are expected to accompany climate change will impact agricultural production and food security in Southeast Asia.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.Document“We’re in this together”: Changing intra-household decision making for more cooperative smallholder farming
Institute of Development Policy and Management, University of Antwerp, 2016Conceptualising smallholder farming households as collective action institutions, that make interrelated decisions about investment, resource use and allocation in a common household farm, may contribute to understanding widely observed uncooperative outcomes, such as yield gaps, gender gaps in productivity, suboptimal or Pareto inefficient sustainable intensification and climate change adaptatDocumentMobilizing young people as climate-smart agriculture infomediaries: what do we know?
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016While efforts to adapt to the impacts of climate change have generally increased, the impression is that there is a negligible effort to include the vulnerable areas in the agenda.DocumentEstimating global warming potential for agricultural landscapes with minimal field data and cost
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture comprise 10-12% of anthropocentric global emissions; and 76% of the agricultural emissions are generated in the developing world. Landscape GHG accounting is an effective way to efficiently develop baseline emissions and appropriate mitigation approaches.DocumentReview of climate service needs and opportunities in Rwanda
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Rwanda’s variable and changing climate is an increasingly serious challenge to the country’s agricultural sector and farming population. Climate information services are emerging as a means to support farmers to manage risk and provide an opportunity to build the resilience of agriculture to climate at all time scales.DocumentEvidence-based opportunities for out-scaling climate-smart agriculture in East Africa
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is being widely promoted as a solution for food insecurity and climate change adaptation in food systems of sub-Saharan Africa, while simultaneously reducing the rate of greenhouse gas emissions. Governments throughout Africa are writingPages
