Climate change mitigation through intensified pasture management: estimating greenhouse gas emissions on cattle farms in the Brazilian Amazon
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Cattle ranching in Brazil is a key driver of deforestation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Brazilian government plans to reduce national GHG emissions by at least 36%, partly by reducing emissions in the livestock sector through strategies such as intensification, pasture improvement, and rotational grazing.DocumentHow Brazil's sustainable cattle schemes could beef up to conserve forests and sustainable rural livelihoods
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Cattle ranching is the largest driver of Brazilian deforestation, a relevant emitter of greenhousegases, and an important source of local livelihoods. In response, many initiatives attempt to render Brazil’s beef production more environmentally and socially sustainable.DocumentTransformation in governance towards resilient food systems
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016The dynamics of systemic societal transformations are not well understood, and the extent to which such transformations can be governed is contested.DocumentThe 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.DocumentClimate-smart aquaculture: Evidences and potentials for northern coastal area of Vietnam
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Coastal aquaculture, particularly brackish water shrimp farming, plays an important role in the socio-economic development of most coastal communities on the North Central Coast (NCC) of Vietnam.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.DocumentAdoption of climate smart technologies in East Africa: Findings from two surveys and participatory exercises with farmers and local experts
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016As part of the “Policy Action for Climate Change Adaptation” (PACCA) project this info note summarizes findings of a project activity entitled “Influencing and linking policies and institutions from national to local level for the development and adoption of climate‐resilient food systems in East Africa” undertaken by researchers from Bioversity International and Arizona State University.DocumentClimate-smart solutions for Mali: Findings from implementing the Climate-Smart Agriculture Prioritization Framework
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Mali is experiencing erratic rainfall, resulting in more frequent dry years, which threaten agricultural productivity and growth. The national economy is vulnerable to climate change due to 50% of GDP coming from the agricultural sector and 75% of the population living in rural areas.DocumentLocal, reliable and timely agro-climatic information: a requirement of Colombian farmers
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2016Awareness of climatic information relevant for future decisions through climatic forecasts is not enough to support farmer’s decision-making. It is necessary to look for agricultural management alternatives that allow farmers to adapt to climatic conditions and implement efficient and sustainable management systems, within a framework of effective communication with farmers.Pages
