Climate change, degradation of natural resources, conflict or civil war, diseases and poverty are among the key threats that impact agriculture, human nutrition, food security and food safety among rural households in developing countries. Sustainability of food systems and livelihoods will thus ...

Survey-based data on food security, nutrition and agricultural production shocks among rural farming households in northern Uganda
A robust, resilient, and enabling policy environment is critical to take agriculture innovations to scale at national or regional level.
Policy formulation processes that consider climate variability, socioeconomic and environmental shocks require participatory, inclusive, and explorative scenari...
Better soil health can increase agricultural productivity. Restoration activities can build on-farm resilience and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Land and soil health surveys can improve crop modeling predictions under various climate scenarios and guide more targeted in...

Research suggests that gender equity is a critical factor in the adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices.
If gender is not explicitly considered in climate-related interventions, the adoption of climate-resilient practices is unlikely to reach scale.
Climate-resilient interventio...

Seventy percent of all economic losses in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are solely attributed to droughts and floods. A considerable challenge for policy in SSA, therefore, relates to identifying and promoting options that could address climatic shocks. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA)—an approach seek...

Impact of drought-tolerant maize and maize–legume intercropping on the climate resilience of rural households in Northern Uganda
Research shows that climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is beneficial in increasing productivity, promoting resilience and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Achieving benefits in all three dimensions is difficult, and so necessary choices among competing investments and objectives must be made.
The ...

Assess whole-farm trade-offs and synergies for climate-smart agriculture
Clearly showing the benefits of certain climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions over others in a particular context is key to facilitating prudent investment of scarce resources.
Ranking certain CSA practices over others is complex because CSA implies multiple outcomes, which vary with co...
