A meta-analysis of spatially explicit econometric studies
Center for Global Development, USA, 2014This paper presents a meta-analysis of what drives deforestation and what stops it.

2014Background Rural livelihoods relying on agriculture are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Climate models project increasingly negative effects on maize and sorghum production in sub-Saharan Africa. We present a case study of the role of genetic resources and seed systems in adapting to climatic stress from the semi-arid agroecological zone in Tanzania. ResultsDocumentHow does climate change alter agricultural strategies to support food security?
International Food Policy Research Institute, 2014The purpose of the paper is to identify how climate change affects how people should approach the process of transforming agricultural systems (including crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry) to support global food security and poverty reduction in a sustainable way.DocumentFarmers’ Preferences for Climate-Smart Agriculture An Assessment in the Indo-Gangetic Plain
International Food Policy Research Institute, 2013This study was undertaken to assess farmers’ preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for various climate-smart interventions in the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) was selected because it is highly vulnerable to climate change, which may adversely affect the sustainability of the rice-wheat production system and the food security of the region.Pages
