Long run versus short run analysis of climate change impacts on agriculture
Economic Research Forum, Egypt, 2013In Tunisia the agricultural sector represents about 20 % of employment and 12% of GDP. Therefore, understanding the impact of climate change on agricultural crops is instrumental for decision makers before deciding to subsidise the affected farmers or switching to irrigated agricultural activities.DocumentTechnological opportunities for distress mitigation in most seriously affected areas of Wardha district

The district has a predominantly agrarian economy with 65 per cent of the main workers being engaged in agricultural activities, either as cultivators or as agricultural labourers.DocumentIntegrated agriculture enhances farm productivity and livelihoods in agro-biodiversity hotspots
MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, 2014India is home to incredible diversity in plant and animal species and is ranked among the richest areas of biodiversity in the world. Unfortunately, much of this diversity is being eroded at an alarming rate, largely due to habitat destruction and invasion by alien species. In the hilly regions of southern India, knownDocumentPost-adaptation vulnerability of cereals to rainfall and temperature variability in the federal capital territory of Nigeria
Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management, 2014This 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.DocumentClimate change in Mali: expected impacts on pests and diseases afflicting selected crops
US Agency for International Development, 2014This report contains tables including analyses of the potential impact of a changed climate on the most common pests and diseases afflicting 16 important crops in Mali. For each pest or disease identified, the current prevalence of the problem under current weather conditions was assessed. Projections of climate change in the Sahel are currently uncertain and this informed the analysis.DocumentUnder What Circumstances and Conditions Does Adoption of Technology Result in Increased Agricultural Productivity? A Systematic Review
Institute of Development Studies UK, 2013New technology that enables sustainable and profitable production of food and fibre is critical for both food security and economic development. Whether framed in terms of modernisation, productivity enhancement, poverty reduction, social protection, environmental protection or adaptation to climate change, technical change is at the heart of most agricultural policy, programmes and projects.DocumentRapid desk-based study: Understanding the relative strength of climate signals compared to other expected development results
Evidence on Demand, 2014This rapid desk-based study provides evidence for understanding the relative strength of climate signals compared to other expected development results. The report summarises overall findings in a ‘traffic light’ rating (red, amber, green) and sets out some of the contested nature of findings. It also summarises the evidence to understand climate signals as drivers of development.DocumentBuilding urban food resilience: assessing the peri-urban food system in Kathmandu Nepal
Institute For Social And Environmental Transition ISET-Nepal, 2008This report from ISET-Nepal describes how agricultural production in urban and peri-urban areas of inland city, Kathmandu, has become unable to meet food security demands due to rapid urban growth and decreased water availability and water pollution. The report describes the physical, environmental and social vulnerabilities of the food system and populations of the Kathmandu valley.DocumentStepping up to the challenge – Six Issues facing global climate change and food security
Climate Change Agriculture Food Security, 2014There are several complex and interrelated challenges and barriers to achieving global food and nutrition security in an increasingly variable climate. Without urgent action for mitigation and adaptation, the world faces more loss and damage and this will further threaten the productive capacity and long-term viability of smallholder farmers.DocumentClimate change in Mali: expected impacts on pests and diseases afflicting livestock
US Agency for International Development, 2014This report presents a series of tables which analyse the potential impact of a changed climate on the most common diseases afflicting cattle, sheep, goats, camels, donkeys, pigs, and chickens in Mali.Pages
