Agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa faces daunting challenges, which climate change and increasing climate variability will compound in vulnerable areas. The impacts of a changing climate on agricultural production in a world that warms by 4°C or more are likely to be severe in places....


Thornton, Philip K.Jones, Peter G.Ericksen, Polly J.Challinor, Andrew J.[Agriculture and food systems in sub-Saharan Africa in a 4°C+ world]Agriculture and food systems in sub-Saharan Africa in a 4°C+ world

Research and action toward better food security, environmental health and rural livelihoods under climate change in the developing world must deal with interacting natural and human systems change processes across multiple dimensions (e.g. biophysical, economic, policy, temporal) and scales (e.g....

Ericksen, Polly J.Crane, Todd A.[The feasibility of low emissions development interventions for the East African livestock sector: Lessons from Kenya and Ethiopia]The feasibility of low emissions development interventions for the East African livestock sector: Lessons from Kenya and Ethiopia

Most research linking global environmental change and food security focuses solely on agriculture: either the impact of climate change on agricultural production, or the impact of agriculture on the environment, e.g. on land use, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and/or biodiversity. Important ...


Ericksen, Polly J.Ingram, J.S.I.Liverman, D.M.[Food security and global environmental change: Emerging challenges]Food security and global environmental change: Emerging challenges

This paper outlines a framework for studying the multiple interactions of broadly defined food systems with global environmental change and evaluating the major societal outcomes affected by these interactions: food security, ecosystem services and social welfare. In building the framework the pa...


Ericksen, Polly J.[Conceptualizing food systems for global environmental change research]Conceptualizing food systems for global environmental change research

Assessing the vulnerability of broadly described food systems to global environmental change requires a new, synthetic approach. Food systems can best be conceptualized as the integration of humans and the environment or coupled social-ecological systems. However, much of the existing literature ...
