Coffee is an important crop for the Ugandan economy, as it earns the country US$415 million in foreign export revenues and supports 1.7 million smallholder farmers (UCDA, 2016). Nevertheless, coffee yields have stagnated for over a decade, despite concerted efforts to improve productivity. Climat...

Redesigning Delivery: Boosting Adoption of Coffee Management Practices in Uganda. The climate smart investment pathway approach and the farmer segmentation tool
Research-based evidence on the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices is vital to their effective uptake, continued use and wider diffusion. In addition, an enabling policy environment at the national and regional levels is necessary for this evidence to be used effectively. This chapte...

The Role of Multi-Stakeholder Platforms for Creating an Enabling Climate Change Policy Environment in East Africa
Smallholder farmers around the globe are facing unstable productivity due to changing climate and weather patterns. The ways in which the private sector supports these farmers to build resilience to and/or engage in efforts to mitigate climate change can have significant impact on farmer liveliho...

One Size Does Not Fit All: Private-Sector Perspectives on Climate Change, Agriculture and Adaptation
The primary objective of the data collection was to analyse the relationship between leaf temperatures and stomatal conductance. Data were collected under both environmentally controlled (laboratory) conditions as well as field conditions. Major variables studied and produced include thermographi...

Replication data for: "Application of thermography for monitoring stomatal conductance of Coffea arabica under different shading systems"
Coffee-Banana Intercropping (VBI) addresses all 3 pillars of CSA in a multifaceted way. CBI in both Arabica nad Robusta generates 50% more revenue then either coffee or banana monocrop. Farmers' risk is reduced by practising CBI, making them more resilient to climate change impacts. Transformatio...

Coffee-Banana Intercropping: Implementation guidance for policymakers and investors
Stomatal regulation is a key process in the physiology of Coffea arabica (C. arabica). Intrinsically linked to photosynthesis and water relations, it provides insights into the plant's adaptive capacity, survival and growth. The ability to rapidly quantify this parameter for C. arabica under diff...
