Increasing weather risks threaten agricultural production systems and food security across the world. Maintaining agricultural growth while minimizing climate shocks is crucial to building a resilient food production system and meeting developmental goals in vulnerable countries. Experts have pro...

The climate-smart village approach: framework of an integrative strategy for scaling up adaptation options in agriculture
CSA – today, any programme addressing the future viability of agriculture that does not contain this acronym for “Climate-Smart Agriculture” would be quite inconceivable. But what exactly does the term refer to, and in what way does the concept differ from that of sustainable agriculture? Showing...
We explore the role of agriculture in destabilizing the Earth system at the planetary scale, through examining nine planetary boundaries, or “safe limits”: land-system change, freshwater use, biogeochemical flows, biosphere integrity, climate change, ocean acidification, stratospheric ozone deple...

Targeting Research towards Achieving Food Security in an Era of Climate Change
We present a framework for prioritizing adaptation approaches at a range of timeframes. The framework is illustrated by four case studies from developing countries, each with associated characterization of uncertainty. Two cases on near-term adaptation planning in Sri Lanka and on stakeholder sce...

Addressing uncertainty in adaptation planning for agriculture
Agriculture, and consequently food security and livelihoods, is already being affected by climate change, according to latest science from the IPCC (Porter et al. 2014). The IPCC agrees that the world needs to produce at least 50% more food than we do today in order to meet the goal of feeding a ...

Progress on agriculture in the UN climate talks: How COP21 can ensure a food-secure future
Effective agricultural research for development (AR4D) faces many challenges that are exacerbated under climate change. Effective behaviours by AR4D programs may drive the likelihood and quality of positive outcomes when working with partners.Explicit principles about effective behaviours can imp...
Agriculture and food security are key sectors for intervention under climate change. Agricultural production is highly vulnerable even to 2C (low-end) predictions for global mean temperatures in 2100, with major implications for rural poverty and for both rural and urban food security. Agricultur...

Options for support to agriculture and food security under climate change
Faced with the triple challenges of achieving food security, adapting to the impacts of climate
change, and reducing emissions, agriculture has been prioritized by countries as a sector for
climate action. The national process of formulating and implementing National Adaptation
