Adaptation strategies to reduce smallholder farmers’ vulnerability to climate variability and seasonality are needed given the frequency of extreme weather events predicted to increase during the next decades in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in West Africa. We explored the linkages between sel...

Trade-off analysis has become an increasingly important approach for evaluating system level outcomes of agricultural production and for prioritising and targeting management interventions in multi-functional agricultural landscapes. We review the strengths and weakness of different techniques av...


Wijk, Mark T. vanKlapwijk, C.J.Rosenstock, Todd S.Asten, Piet J.A. vanThornton, Philip K.Giller, Ken E.[Methods for environment: productivity trade-off analysis in agricultural systems]Methods for environment: productivity trade-off analysis in agricultural systems

According to the most recent IPCC report, changes in climates over the last 30 years have already reduced global agricultural production in the range 1-5 % per decade globally, with particularly negative effects for tropical cereal crops such as maize and rice (Porter et al., 2014). In addition, ...


Ramírez Villegas, JuliánThornton, Philip K.[Climate change impacts on African crop production]Climate change impacts on African crop production

This Working Paper summarizes projected climate change impacts on livestock across Africa, using a combination of literature review and some new results on the projected impacts of climate change on the rangelands of Africa. Findings show that there are many options that can help livestock keeper...

A major characteristic of pastoral systems has been their endurance through time (1). The same cannot be said about many other agricultural land-use systems. A considerable literature exists on their evolution, rooted in the location geography developed by von Thu¨ nen in the early nineteenth cen...

Science–policy interfaces are critical in shaping agricultural and environmental governance. However, connecting science with policy has always been a challenge for both scientists and policymakers. In Ghana, Mali and Senegal, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Sec...

• The online platform is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of CCAFS as well as the requirements of CGIAR. • Consensus is needed from the outset about the requirements of such a platform, as the right balance has to be struck between detail and leanness. • We started with a complex, idealistic...

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is increasingly seen as a promising approach to feed the growing world population under climate change. The review explored how institutional perspectives are reflected in the CSA literature. In total, 137 publications were analyzed using institutional analysis fra...

The questions of how land use change affects climate, and how climate change affects land use, require examination of societal and environmental systems across space at multiple scales, from the global climate to regional vegetative dynamics to local decision making by farmers and herders. It als...
