State 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.DocumentEnvironmental characterisation to guide breeding decisions in a changing climate
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2015Agriculture faces and will continue to face multiple challenges. Most notably, the need to meet food demand for a rapidly growing and urbanising population under increasingly variable and warmer climates.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 adaptatDocumentMethods for identifying low emissions development options for agriculture
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Low emissions development strategies (LEDS) are national economic and social development plans that promote sustainable development while reducing GHG emissions. While LEDS programs have helped to mainstream economy-wide planning for low emissions, planning for low emissions agriculture has remained nascent.DocumentClimate-smart livestock interventions in West Africa: a review
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016The livestock sector is one of the major contributors in agriculture, by some estimates contributing up to 18% of the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.DocumentGender dimensions on farmers’ preferences for direct-seeded rice with drum seeder in India
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Transplanting is the dominant mode of rice establishment in India. Transplanted rice requires more labour and water and emits more greenhouse gases into the environment than DSR. In the past, DSR was mainly practiced in areas with low population density and where low or uncertain water availability prevented intensification of rice systems.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 writingDocumentGender dynamics in rice-farming households in Vietnam: a literature review
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016This literature review is part of the CCAFS program on low emission agriculture flagship of the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security.Pages
