Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on crop, livestock and fisheries production, and will change the prevalence of crop pests. Many of these impacts are already measurable. Climate impact studies are dominated by those on crop yields despite the limitations of climate-crop modelling, wi...

The CSA Papers: Critical investigations to support climate-smart agriculture development. An effort to analyze, publish, and present previously unreleased data on CSA
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has been promoted since 2011 to increase productivity,
improve resilience to climate variability and change and reduce greenhouse gas emission,
where feasible, in farming systems globally and especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. CSA is
unique, by comparison, to some o...

Evidence and risk-based planning for a climate-smart agriculture
Sustained adoption of soil carbon enhancing practices (SCEPs) at scale remains an aspiration goal to maintain sufficient amount of soil carbon in household farms in order to impact on the sustained farm productivity caused by sustained soil fertility. The objective of this study is to systematica...

An integrated approach for understanding the factors that facilitate or constrain the adoption of soil carbon enhancing practices in East Africa, specifically Western Kenya
Sustainable agricultural practices that enhance soil carbon simultaneously improve farm
yields and income. Despite the expansive literature on adoption of soil carbon practices in
Kenya, there is limited information on the impact of the elemental practices on farm output.
This study attempts to f...

An evaluation of the impact of soil carbon enhancing practices on farm output in Western Kenya
Adoption of soil carbon practices has the capability of increasing yield, thus improving income and food availability. This paper assessed the adoption of agricultural practices that enhance soil carbon. Data from 334 households were collected in the rural areas of Western Kenya using a multistag...
