Climate finance has largely focused on non-agricultural sectors, while finance for
adaptation remains to be largely unexplored. This paper takes stock of existing funds
for agricultural adaptation and compares different elements across these.
Agricultural research for development has made important contributions to poverty reduction and food security
over the last 40 years. Nevertheless, it is likely that both the speed of global change and its impacts on natural and
socio-economic systems are being under-estimated. Coupled with the m...

Responding to global change: A theory of change approach to making agricultural research for development outcome-based
The dynamics of systemic societal transformations are not well understood, and the extent to
which such transformations can be governed is contested. This research paper is the result of
a joint effort among a small group of researchers to identify pathways for transformation
towards sustainable ...
The mixed crop-livestock systems of the developing world will become increasingly important for meeting the food security challenges of the coming decades. The synergies and trade-offs between food security, adaptation, and mitigation objectives are not well studied, however. Comprehensive evalua...

Exploring gender differences in household food security and implications for climate change adaptation in East Africa
If climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is meaningfully to address the development challenges posed by climate change, effective approaches will be needed to scale up research findings. Here, eleven case studies are used to exemplify scaling-up strategies based on (1) value chains and private sector i...

Scaling up agricultural interventions: Case studies of climate-smart agriculture
Given the different roles that women and men play in households and communities, strategies to improve food security and build adaptive capacity need to take gender differences into account. In many developing countries, local organizations have a role to play in it. However, the degree to which ...

This dataset contains files produced for and generated from the CCAFS Household Baseline Study carried out in sites in Latin America (Trifinio in Honduras/Guatemala, and Cauca in Colombia) and in South-East Asia (a site in each of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) in the latter months of 2014 and the e...

CCAFS Household Baseline Study, Latin America & South East Asia (2014-2015)
In 2010-2012, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
(CCAFS) implemented a baseline in 15 sites across three initial target regions: East Africa, West
Africa and Indo-Gangetic Plains. The baseline was setup in such a way that the househo...
