Béné, ChristopheMehta, LylaMcGranahan, GordonCannon, TerryGupte, JaideepTanner, Thomas[Resilience as a policy narrative: potentials and limits in the context of urban planning]Resilience as a policy narrative: potentials and limits in the context of urban planning

CCAFS-MOT is a tool to support farmers, policy advisors and agricultural extension services on the choice of management practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) without risking food security. It is an Excel-based tool which brings together several empirical models to estimate GHG emis...

Cocoa agroforestry is perceived as potential adaptation strategy to sub-optimal or adverse environmental conditions such as drought. We tested this strategy over wet, dry and extremely dry periods comparing cocoa in full sun with agroforestry systems: shaded by (i) a leguminous tree species, Albi...


Abdulai, I.Vaast, PhilippeHoffmann, M.P.Asare, R.Jassogne, Laurence T.P.Asten, Piet J.A. vanRotter, Reimund P.Graefe, S.[Cocoa agroforestry is less resilient to sub-optimal and extreme climate than cocoa in full sun]Cocoa agroforestry is less resilient to sub-optimal and extreme climate than cocoa in full sun

The articles in this issue grapple with how climate-resilient approaches including climate-smart agriculture (CSA) can more effectively promote gender equality and women’s empowerment1. How can CSA be implemented in ways that improve the situation and empowerment of women as well as men. CSA has ...


Huyer, SophiaPartey, Samuel T[Weathering the storm or storming the norms? Moving gender equality forward in climate-resilient agriculture - Introduction to the Special Issue on Gender Equality in Climate-Smart Agriculture: Approaches and Opportunities]Weathering the storm or storming the norms? Moving gender equality forward in climate-resilient agriculture - Introduction to the Special Issue on Gender Equality in Climate-Smart Agriculture: Approaches and Opportunities

Food loss and waste (FLW) reduce food available for consumption and increase the environmental burden of production. Reducing FLW increases agricultural and value-chain productivity and may reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with feeding the global population. Although studies of interven...


Galford, Gillian L.Peña, OliviaSullivan, Amanda KNash, JulieGurwick, NoelPirolli, GillianRichards, MerylWhite, Julianna M.Wollenberg, Eva K.[Agricultural development addresses food loss and waste while reducing greenhouse gas emissions]Agricultural development addresses food loss and waste while reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Traditionally farmers use diverse crops, trees and wild plant species, livestock and aquatic species to sustain/enhance their livelihood. The use of diverse species and varieties enhances their adaptability and resilience capacity to changing environmental and economic conditions. Genetic diversi...


Sthapit, B.Padulosi, S.Mal, M.[Role of on-farm/In situ conservation and underutilized crops in the wake of climate change]Role of on-farm/In situ conservation and underutilized crops in the wake of climate change

Ensuring an adequate food supply in systems that protect environmental quality and conserve natural resources requires productive and resource-efficient cropping systems on existing farmland. Meeting this challenge will be difficult without a robust spatial framework that facilitates rapid evalua...


Edreira, J.I.R.Cassman, Kenneth G.Hochman, Z.Ittersum, Martin K. vanBussel, Lenny G. J. vanClaessens, LievenGrassini, P.[Beyond the plot: technology extrapolation domains for scaling out agronomic science]Beyond the plot: technology extrapolation domains for scaling out agronomic science

A field experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effect of conservation agriculture (CA) based management on soil biological properties, and on fungal diversity and abundance after 5 years of continuous cultivation. Treatments included four crop managements viz., conventional tillage (CT) rice-w...

Smallholder farmers in East Africa need information and knowledge on appropriate climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices, technologies, and institutional innovations in order to effectively adapt to changing climatic conditions and cope with climate variability. This paper assesses farmer adopt...
