The workshop was conducted from 10-14 December, 2012 at the International Potato Center, Lima, Peru. It was jointly funded by the research programs on Roots, Tubers, and Banana (RTB) and on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). The workshop successfully linked scientists from CG-...

Management of critical pests and diseases through enhanced risk assessment and surveillance and understanding climate impacts through enhanced modeling
This technical study focuses on the role of micro-organism genetic resources for agriculture and the influence of a changing climate. Agriculture is defined as crop-based food production for yield and quality. It excludes micro-organism genetic resources associated with livestock, fish and non-fo...

Climate change and micro-organism genetic resources for food and agriculture: state of knowledge, risks and opportunities
Interactions among crops and microbes influence the quality, productivity, and sustainability of food production systems. Microbes, both beneficial and antagonistic, and the array of functions they perform are currently underestimated. Nutrient cycling microbes, endophytes, mycorrhizae, and natur...

The impact of climate change on interdependence for microbial genetic resources for agriculture
Recent and current efforts at IITA to assess risks due to the various biotic stresses, arthropod pests and diseases, are presented for different cropping systems. In the case of cassava arthropod pests, the focus is on temperature-mediated interactions between the pest and its natural enemy which...
