Assessment of CGIAR research programmes
Evidence on Demand, 2015In this new assessment of 8 CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs), the Global Rice Science Partnership (GRiSP) comes out top, followed closely by Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA).DocumentHow traditional knowledge and technologies are contributing to climate change adaption in Lain America's mountains
Evidence and Lessons from Latin America, 2015High climate variability has been a characteristic of mountain ecosystems, even before climate change concerns emerged. Indigenous cultures of Central America and the Andean region have been living in unpredictable environments for centuries. As a result, they possess a variety of knowledge and technologies that have helped them to adapt their livelihoods to increasing uncertainty and risk.DocumentAgricultural innovation: options for appropriate technologies in responding to climate change
Asia Pacific Adaptation Network, 2015Agriculture is a key sector providing economic and social development in Southeast Asian countries, where a majority of the region’s population depend on agricultural production as a main source of household income.DocumentSubsidies promote use of drought tolerant maize varieties despite variable yield performance under smallholder environments in Malawi
Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 2015This study used a three-year panel dataset for 350 Malawian farm households to examine the potential for widespread adoption of drought tolerant (DT) maize varieties, a technology that holds considerable promise for helping smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) adapt to drought risk.DocumentRisk preferences, shocks and technology adoption: responses to drought risk
Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 2015Climate risk represents an increasing threat to poor and vulnerable farmers in drought-prone areas of Africa.DocumentLand-use planning and REDD+
The Norwegian Embassy in Tanzania, 2015Introduction and background.DocumentClimate variability, food production shocks, and violent conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa
IOPscience, 2015Earlier research that reports a correlational pattern between climate anomalies and violent conflict routinely refers to drought-induced agricultural shocks and adverse economic spillover effects as a key causal mechanism linking the two phenomena.DocumentClimate adapted vilages. The Development Fund's model for local climate adaptation. Ethiopia.
Development Fund, Norway, 2015The Climate Adapted Villages model aims to make farmers and local communities capable of organizing themselves, identifying climate threats and practicing climate smart agriculture, enabling them to adapt to the current consequences of a changing climate.DocumentClimate adapted vilages. The Development Fund's model for local climate adaptation. Honduras
Development Fund, Norway, 2015The Climate Adapted Villages model aims to make farmers and local communities capable of organizing themselves, identifying climate threats and practicing climate smart agriculture, enabling them to adapt to the current consequences of a changing climate.DocumentWeather variability, agriculture and rural migration: evidence from state and district level migration in India
South Asian Network for Development and Environmental Economics, 2014Fast growing economies like India are likely to witness increasing disparity in living standards between rural and urban areas, with a corresponding increase in migration from rural to urban areas. The weather sensitivity of agriculture and the increasing vulnerability of crop yields to both weather extremes and changing weather conditions are likely to further accelerate the rural to ruraPages
