Index-Based Livestock Insurance has emerged as a promising market-based solution for insuring livestock against drought-related mortality. The objective of this work is to develop an explicit spatial econometric framework to estimate insurable indexes that can be integrated within a general insur...


Woodard, J.D.Shee, ApurbaMude, Andrew G.[A spatial econometric approach to designing and rating scalable index insurance in the presence of missing data]A spatial econometric approach to designing and rating scalable index insurance in the presence of missing data

Based on urgent needs for food security compounded by a changing climate which impacts and is impacted by agricultural land-use and food distribution practices, we explore the processes of action in implementing agroecological food systems. We identified the following characteristics for an agroe...


Vaarst, MetteEscudero, Arthur GetzChappell, M. JahiBrinkley, CatherineNijbroek, Ravic P.Arraes, Nilson A.M.Andreasen, LiseGattinger, AndreasFonseca De Almeida, GustavoBossio, Deborah A.Halbergh, Niels[Exploring the concept of agroecological food systems in a city-region context]Exploring the concept of agroecological food systems in a city-region context

Floods account for a majority of disasters, especially in South Asia, where they affect 27 million people annually, causing economic losses of over US$1 billion. Climate change threatens to exacerbate these risks. Risk transfer mechanisms, such as weather index insurance (WII) may help buffer far...

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 ...


Mwungu, Chris MiyinziShikuku, Kelvin MashisiaAtibo, ChristopherMwongera, Caroline[Survey-based data on food security, nutrition and agricultural production shocks among rural farming households in northern Uganda]Survey-based data on food security, nutrition and agricultural production shocks among rural farming households in northern Uganda

Agriculture in Africa is not only exposed to climate change impacts but is also a source of greenhouse gases (GHGs). While GHG emissions in Africa are relatively minimal in global dimensions, agriculture in the continent constitutes a major source of GHG emissions. In Ghana, agricultural emission...

Currently shaping a large part of the development and humanitarian agenda the concept of resilience has been embraced by a large number of donors, development agencies, and international NGOs. As a consequence, an increasing number of development interventions that aim at strengthening the resili...

Documenting the scale and intensity of fine-scale spatial genetic structure (FSGS), and the processes that shape it, is relevant to the sustainable management of genetic resources in timber tree species, particularly where logging or fragmentation might disrupt gene flow. In this study we assesse...


Smith, J.R.Ghazoul, J.Burslem, D.F.R.P.Itoh, A.Khoo, ELee, S.L.Maycock, C.R.Nanami, S.Siong Ng, K.S.Kettle, C.J.[Are patterns of fine-scale spatial genetic structure consistent between sites within tropical tree species?]Are patterns of fine-scale spatial genetic structure consistent between sites within tropical tree species?

Many projections of the impact of climate change on the crop, livestock and fishery production sectors of African agriculture are reported in the literature. However, they may be arguably too general to understand the magnitude of impact and to inform adaptation strategies and policy development ...
