The purpose of this study was to understand the
indicators that farmers use to prioritize agricultural
innovations, in general, and climate-smart agriculture
(CSA), in particular.
In order to increase the uptake of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies, it is important to understand the contexts in which farmers operate. Farmers use different indicators to decide whether or not to implement, what to implement, and where to implement specific technologies. Identifyin...

Learning about sustainable oil palm production: a guide for training smallscale farmers in West and Central Africa
The notion of eco-efficiency – first put forward by the private-sector at the time of the 1992 Earth Summit – has since been taken up by experts in agriculture as a guiding principle for research. Eco-efficient agriculture, according to a CIAT report, is competitive and profitable as well as sust...
The Diffusion of Improved Varieties in Africa (DIIVA) is a cross-center CGIAR project that has been developed to attain a wider understanding of the impact of food-crop genetic research in priority country-by-commodity combinations in Sub-Saharan Africa.
One of its objectives is to develop a comp...

Beyond staple foods, agriculture needs a stronger focus on nutrient-dense foods (vegetables, fruits, legumes and animal source foods), suggesting the diversification of smallholder production, such as integrated farming systems. To understand the availability of agricultural biodiversity, working...
