Climatic and non-climatic factors influencing changing agricultural practices across different rainfall regimes in South Asia
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture comprise 10-12% of anthropocentric global emissions; and 76% of the agricultural emissions are generated in the developing world. Landscape GHG accounting is an effective way to efficiently develop baseline emissions and appropriate mitigation appro...

Estimating global warming potential for agricultural landscapes with minimal field data and cost
There is significant interest in determining the role of climate-induced shocks as a
prominent driver on migration decisions of different groups of farmers in South
Asia. Using data from a survey of 2,660 farm-families and focused group
discussions in Bihar (India), Terai (plains) (Nepal) and coa...

Coping with weather adversity and adaptation to climatic variability: a cross-country study of smallholder farmers in South Asia
While impacts of climate change on agricultural systems have been widely researched, there is still limited understanding of what agricultural innovations have evolved over time in response to both climatic and non-climatic drivers. Although there has been some progress in formulating national ad...
