Livestock keeping is ubiquitous in tropical Africa. Urine and dung from livestock release greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4), to the atmosphere. However, the extent of GHG’s impact is uncertain due to the lack of in situ measurements in the region. Here we meas...

Improving estimates of GHG emission factors from livestock production systems on smallholder farms
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
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a systematic approach to agricultural development. It intends to address climate change and food security challenges simultaneously across levels, from field management to national policy, with goals to 1) improve food security and agricultural productivity, 2) ...

What is the scientific basis for climate-smart agriculture?
Farmers rarely apply CSA technologies in isolation and there is a strong demand for evidence about which bundles of practices work together to enhance outcome performance. The ERA database brings together thousands of African CSA studies giving us
unprecedented power to explore trade-offs when bu...

However, the prevailing narrative suggests an endless search for inclusive business models that support a transition towards climate-smart agriculture (CSA). Our approach is a literature review of business models and CSA and qualitative fieldwork with four business models in Southern Africa to in...

Initial and sustained use of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) often hinges on the economic costs, benefits and risks of the new management practice, as well as farmer’s socio-economic endowments. However, data showing the economic performance of CSA is rarely presented. Incomplete or missing infor...
