Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is widely promoted as an approach for reorienting agricultural development under the realities of climate change. Prioritising research-for-development activities is crucial, given the need to utilise scarce resources as effectively as possible. However, no framewo...

A framework for priority-setting in climate smart agriculture research
With limited global resources, and in the face of environmental changes, meeting future food security challenges will first require a shift in thinking from just ‘producing food’ (and other sectoral interests) to ‘food systems.’ Solutions will need to be applied at local and regional levels, but ...

Timescales of transformational climate change adaptation in sub-Saharan African agriculture
Agricultural production is under increasing pressure by global anthropogenic changes, including rising population, diversion of cereals to biofuels, increased protein demands and climatic extremes. Because of the immediate and dynamic nature of these changes, adaptation measures are urgently need...

Food security and climate change: on the potential to adapt global crop production by active selection to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide
In this paper we focus on the issue of how climate change affects the way that agricultural systems
and the people that manage and govern them need to change in the next 20 years in order to
achieve food security, and how FAO and CGIAR can support that change. We build on a huge body
of lit...
