  Modelling adaptation to climate change in agriculture

  Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2014

  This paper investigates how climate change can affect agricultural production and proposes some adaptation measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the negative effects of climate change while enhancing the positive ones. The paper stresses the importance of planned adaptation measures and highlights possible strategies for reducing risk and improving resilience.

  Evidence to support climate change adaptation in Lesotho, Malawi and Swaziland

  Food, Agriculture and Natural Resource Policy Analysis Network, 2015

  In southern Africa, the predicted 2°C rise in temperature will destabilise farming systems. Coping mechanisms, livelihood strategies and the cost of adaptation options for smallholder farmers are not sufficiently understood in the region because the majority of research is focused on ecological assessment and identifying the vulnerability of households.

  Policies for enhanced livestock productivity and wealth creation in a changing climate

  Food, Agriculture and Natural Resource Policy Analysis Network, 2010

  Agriculture in Africa is changing rapidly. Agriculture and livestock systems are among the most climate sensitive economic sectors. Many of the climate change predictions suggest that African livestock will be damaged by as early as 2020.

  Farmers, food and climate change: ensuring community-based adaptation is mainstreamed into agricultural programmes

  2014

  Climate change creates widespread risks for food production. As climate impacts are often locally specific, it is imperative that large-scale initiatives to support smallholder farmers consider local priorities and integrate lessons from successful autonomous adaptation efforts.

  Market challenges for the restoration of the environment

  Trade and Industrial Policy Strategies, South Africa, 2012

  Over the past century South Africa has become increasingly reliant on the manufacturing and services industries for its economic development and growth. However, the natural environment continues to play an important role in the livelihoods of particularly the poor, those in rural areas and the agriculture sector – the latter being essential for urban living.

  Systematic Review Approach to identifying key trends in adaptation governance at the supranational level

  Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2014

  This working paper from CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) analyses literature on adaptation governance focused on food security at the supranational level.

  The comparative turn in climate change adaptation and food security governance research

  Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2014

  This working paper from the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) proposes that concepts and methods of comparative politics can shine light on political factors important for catalysing positive change on the governance, climate change adaptation and food security of countries in the developing world.

  Post-adaptation vulnerability of cereals to rainfall and temperature variability in the federal capital territory of Nigeria

  Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management, 2014

  This study assessed the vulnerability of cereal yield to climate change. It aims to determine the level of climate variability, assessment of cereals yield sensitivity index, determining climate exposure index, determining adaptive capacity of farmers, assessment of the post adaptation vulnerability of cereals yield to climate change.

  Are trees buffering ecosystems and livelihoods in agricultural landscapes of the Lower Mekong Basin? Consequences for climate-change adaptation

  World Agroforestry Centre, 2014

  This working paper analyses 1) the impacts of continuing land-use and climate changes in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB) region; and 2) the potential role of increased use of trees in agricultural landscapes to reduce the negative impact of land-use changes.
