Using a 9-country dataset from sub-Saharan Africa, and integrating quantitative household-level analyses with qualitative work, the paper shows that gender relations affect agricultural practices and adaptation. The women farmers in our sample control less land than men, the land they control is ...

This report presents 4 scenarios for the future of food security, agriculture, livelihoods and environments in East Africa. These scenarios were developed by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in collaboration with a wide range of regional stakeholders. Th...

The future of food security, environments and livelihoods in Eastern Africa: four socio-economic scenarios
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.
The purpose of this working paper is to provide insight into how we can use novel approaches to scale up research findings on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) to meaningfully address the challenges of poverty and climate change. The approaches described include those based on value chains and priv...

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 ...
Governance of food systems is a poorly understood determinant of food security.
Much scholarship on food systems governance is non-empirical, while existing
research is often case study-based and theoretically and methodologically
incommensurable. This frustrates aggregation of evidence and gener...
