The scientific basis of climate-smart agriculture: a systematic review protocol
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Climate-smart agriculture (CSA)—agriculture and food systems that sustainably increase food production, improve resilience (or adaptive capacity) of farming systems, and mitigate climate change when possible—has quickly been integrated into the global development agenda.DocumentClimate finance for agricultural adaptation
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that expected population growth, coupled with income growth, would require 70% more food to be produced by 2050. However, climate change, which among other things affects temperature, seasonality, rainfall, and extreme events, makes this goal even more challenging.DocumentUptake and dissemination pathways for climate-smart agriculture technologies and practices in Lushoto, Tanzania
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Smallholder farmers in East Africa need information and knowledge on appropriate climate- smart agriculture (CSA) technologies and practices, and institutional innovations in order to effectively adapt to climate change and cope with climate variability.DocumentRadical adaptation in agriculture: tackling the roots of climate vulnerability
International Institute for Environment and Development, 2015As climate change pushes livestock, crop and tree production systems towards new realities, societies may seek more comprehensive solutions.DocumentRwanda Dairy Competitiveness Program II: Efficiency gains in dairy production systems decrease GHG emission intensity
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016RDCP II was a 5-year project funded by the Feed the Future (FTF) initiative. Land O’Lakes has implemented the project in 17 districts across all five provinces of Rwanda. This project aimed to reduce poverty through expanded production and marketing of quality milk that generates income and employment, and improves nutrition of rural households.DocumentAgriculture and adaptation to climate change: the role of wildlife ranching in South Africa
Economic Research Southern Africa, 2016In the arid and semi-arid areas of Africa, some of the most common land uses remain in pastoralism or in some cases commercial livestock ranching. Agricultural activities in these areas especially beef production is known to be highly vulnerable to the severe e¤ects of climate change. However, a major limitation is that appropriate adaptation and mitigation options are few.DocumentPlanning for climate change in the Dryland Areas of West Africa
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2015For the past 50 years temperatures across West Africa have been increasing, particularly in dryland areas. This warming trend is set to continue in the coming decades, with the number of very hot days each year projected to be 17-20 times greater than in preceding decades.DocumentResilience and economic growth in arid lands – accelerated growth in Kenya mitigation co-benefits of herd size and feed quality management
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016REGAL-AG, a 5-year project implemented by ACDI/VOCA and funded under the Feed the Future (FTF) initiative, sought to increase economic growth in rural communities by improving competitiveness and inclusiveness in the livestock value chain.DocumentThe economic advantage: assessing the value of climate change actions in agriculture
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Agriculture is a sector especially sensitive to climate change. It also accounts for significant emissions and is, therefore, a priority for both adaptation and mitigation plans and actions at global, national and local levels.DocumentFertilizers and low emission development in sub-Saharan Africa
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Many countries in Africa included fertilizer use, soil fertility management, and agricultural inputs as part of their contributions to the Paris Climate Agreement. While nitrogen (N) fertilizers contribute substantially to nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions globally, emissions from fertilizers are still low in sub-Saharan Africa.Pages
