Climate change research must be nationally relevant for research outputs to be
used broadly. This is why CIMMYT-CCAFS conducted its research in close
collaboration with the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) and other
stakeholders in Ethiopia. The climate research outputs generat...
CCAFS researchers made important contributions to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s Fifth
Assessment Report (AR5), which was published in 2014. In
this way, CCAFS helped decision makers worldwide to
prioritize and design agricultural sector interventions aimed
at mitigating a...

The Himalayan region is highly sensitive to climate change due to the high variation in altitudes. Increased temperatures are likely to change cloud cover and rainfall patterns, melt ice caps and glaciers, and reduce snowfall. This puts rivers, tributaries, catchments, and watersheds at the risk ...

A watershed approach to building climate resilience in Nepal’s mountain eco-regions
Although the high Andes are the place of origin of the potato, the growing conditions are harsh and prone to frost, drought and hailstorms. This, coupled with a general lack of support for remote communities, has resulted in high levels of malnutrition and childhood mortality amongst the area’s i...

Senegal, with 196,712 km2 land area, is located at the extreme west of the African continent (Longitudes 11°21W - 17°32N and Latitudes 12°8N - 16°41N). The country’s soils are in general of low fertility, fragile and very susceptible to wind and water erosion. The climate is of Sudano-Sahelian ty...

In this study we analyze the capacity of agrobiodiversity to increase resilience of banana-based smallholders in Uganda as affected by disease incidence or climate change and associated price changes until 2050. We explore trade-offs and synergies by means of various indicators of economic, envir...

The role of agrobiodiversity in strengthening the resilience of small-scale farmers: biophysical and economic trends towards 2050
Research of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and its partners
shows that growing coffee and banana together is generating >50% more income
for smallholder farmers and can help them cope with the effects of climate change.
However, turning research into action on the grou...
CCAFS and CIAT provided technical and policy recommendations on the land productivity component of the Colombian Green Growth Policy, which was launched in July 2018. The current National Development Plan states a focus on financial instruments for sustainable agricultural activities that include...

Improved understanding of animal nutrition allowed policy makers and a producer organization to develop low emissions forage options in Colombia. As part of CCAFS Low Emissions Development Flagship, CIAT’s LivestockPlus project adjusted a model for digestion and metabolism for the types of livest...
Based on directives issued by the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) and the Department of Crop Production, the rice planting calendar in the Mekong River Delta was adjusted to avoid salinity intrusion brought by the 2019 El Niño.
