Understanding past and future impacts of climate change in agriculture: implications for adaptation planning
Adapting to Climate Change in China, 2012Climate change poses a serious risk to food security and agriculture in China. Agriculture is of critical importance to China, because 54 per cent of the country’s population lives in rural areas. This policy brief outlines the key research highlights to date on the impacts of climate change on agriculture.DocumentFarmers' adaptation initiatives to the impact of climate change on agriculture in northern Nigeria
African Journals Online - AJOL, 2012This study examines the innovative adaptive measures used by farmers in northern Nigeria to respond to the effects of climate change. Quantitative and qualitative approaches (rapid rural appraisal, focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews) were used to gather information from 500 farmers.DocumentAnalysis of climate change impacts on coffee, cocoa and basic grains value chains in northern Honduras
Instituto de Estudios del Hambre (Institute of Hunger Studies), 2013This study examines, applying future climate local scenarios, climate change impacts in northern Honduras and makes recommendations to strengthen the resilience of the International Fund for Agricultural Development’s (IFAD) ‘Northern Horizons’ project beneficiaries in the coffee, cocoa, maize and bean value chains.DocumentRural households in a changing climate

Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development, 2013This study analyses climate change factors (temperature and rainfall) and their projected future values in the Delta state, Nigeria. A variety of crops such as maize, yam and cassava produced in Delta state depend on rainfall for their optimum performance. Therefore, decreasing and/or irregular rainfall patterns threaten food security in the state.DocumentAdaptive capacities of farmers to climate change adaptation strategies and their effects on rice production in the northern region of Ghana
Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2012This study examines the adaptive capacities of farmers to climate change adaptation strategies and their effects on rice production in the northern region of Ghana. The adaptive capacities of rice farmers were estimated quantitatively and categorised into high, moderate and low adaptive capacities.DocumentFarmers’ adaptation initiatives to the impact of climate change on agriculture in northern Nigeria
African Journals Online - AJOL, 2012This study examines the innovative adaptive measures used by farmers in northern Nigeria to respond to the effects of climate change. Quantitative and qualitative approaches (rapid rural appraisal, focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews) were used to gather information from 500 farmers.DocumentThe case for evergreen agriculture in Africa: enhancing food security with climate change adaptation and mitigation in Zambia
Climate and Development Knowledge Network, 2011Climate change vulnerability and food insecurity often have common root causes. Accordingly, measures that address these causes can reduce both problems at once. This is especially important for the many African countries that face daunting agricultural challenges.DocumentMalaria and agriculture: a global review of the literature with a focus on the application of integrated pest and vector management in East Africa and Uganda
International Food Policy Research Institute, 2012Roughly half of the world's population lives at risk of contracting malaria, a disease which disproportionately affects the poor. As such, farming households are particularly vulnerable; malaria is therefore an intimate link between poverty, agriculture and health.DocumentThe state of food and agriculture: investing in agriculture for a better future
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2012Recent food crises and growing concerns about global climate change have placed agriculture on top of the international agenda.
