Data were collected during interviews with experts and farmers in Cauca between July and October 2014. After finishing both interview series, we analyzed the differences in perception between experts and farmers. To aggregate the individual rankings, we calculated a weighted average based on the ...

Replication Data for: Risk perception and decision-making: do farmers consider risks from climate change?
GeoFarmer is an app designed to support experience exchanges between farmers – be they positive or negative – so that they can learn from each other by asking questions and by sharing suggestions on how their crop, animal and farm management can be improved. Project implementers can also use it t...

GeoFarmer App: A tool to complement extension services and foster active farmers participation and knowledge exchange
The process of getting climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions and practices to farmers is just as important as the interventions and practices.
Given the complex systems in which CSA is implemented and the various CSA practices and technologies, there is no one-size-fits-all scaling path...

Target the pathways to scale out climate-smart agricultural technologies to farming communities
Recognizing successful climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices is not enough for them to be adopted at scale.
At many sites, government or development-led interventions to promote CSA practices face low adoption rates or are not adopted at all.
Data shows that CSA adoption depends on drivers...

Know what drives the adoption of climate-smart agriculture across different scales
Research suggests that farmer-to-farmer learning can be up to six times more effective in spreading knowledge of CSA practices than in areas where it is not carried out.
Understanding the wider context and requirements for social learning is key.
Peer learning is an effective way to disseminate C...

Support farmer-to-farmer and community-wide social learning
Small-scale farmers are highly threatened by climate change. Experts often base their interventions to support farmers to adapt to climate change on their own perception of farmers’ livelihood risks. However, if differences in risk perception between farmers and experts exist, these interventions...
