Rural Peoples’ Perception to Climate Variability/Change in Cross River State-Nigeria
Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2014This study attempts to assess perception level of rural people to climate change in selected communities in Cross River State, Nigeria. Results showed 71.7 per cent of the people are aware of climate change. They also indicated that the onset of rains is now delayed while cessation is earlier against the trend in the past.DocumentClimate change adaptation strategies through indigenous knowledge system: Aspect on agro-crop production in the flood prone areas of Bangladesh
Asian Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development, 2014This study explores the climate change adaptation strategies for agro crop production and assesses the financial suitability through indigenous knowledge in flood prone areas of Bangladesh. Different types of adaptation strategies for agro-crop production are examined through an experimental treatment for flood prone areas of Bangladesh.DocumentHow to scale out community-based adaptation to climate change
Climate and Development Knowledge Network, 2014This working paper explores the ‘scaling out’ of community-based adaptation (CBA) pilots, which is defined as ‘more quality benefits to more people over a wider geographical area, more equitably, more quickly, and more lastingly’.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.DocumentGlobal crop yield response to extreme heat stress under multiple climate change futures
IOPscience, 2014This paper argues that extreme heat stress during the crop reproductive period can be critical for crop productivity. Projected changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events are expected to negatively impact crop yields and global food production.DocumentFarming system evolution and adaptive capacity: Insights for adaptation support
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2014Farming systems are an example of complex, social and ecological systems that are dynamic, and operate across multiple temporal and spatial scales – from individual to global levels.DocumentSupporting the vulnerable: Increasing adaptive capacities of agropastoralists to climate change in West and southern Africa using a transdisciplinary research approach
International Livestock Research Institute, 2013This publication seeks to identify promoted policy entry points to support the implementation of priority adaptation strategies, and identifies policy mechanisms as appropriate interventions to allow agropastoralists to buffer the effects of climate variability and change.DocumentWhat climate change means for farmers in Africa: A triptych review middle panel: Introductional matters and consequences of global warming for African farmers
African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2014This paper deals with the consequences of climate change for farmers in Africa, including increasing temperatures and changing rainfall, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide content and impacts on agricultural production.DocumentSupporting climate resilient value chains
Evidence on Demand, 2013This report include an examination of three commodity supply/value chains that are grown in four African states besides Pakistan and Bangladesh. The document focuses particularly on current trends in the value chains and considering whether they will face challenges due to physical climate effects under a range of scenarios.DocumentFact sheet. Project: P romotion and Intensification of Fruit Trees in Agricultural Farm Lands for Mitigation and Adaption to Climate Change
Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013The main objective of this strategic intervention is to reduce the impacts of climate change and land degradation on rural farm lands by intensifying the production of fruit trees. This will generate income and help farmers adapt to climate change.Pages
