This document describes a monitoring instrument for efficiently tracking changes in resilience
in agricultural initiatives.
Operationalizing the concept of resilience (i.e. the ability to withstand change, stresses and shocks)
poses significant challenges for project managers, particularly when r...

Improved global cropland data as an essential ingredient for food security
The focus of the great majority of climate change impact studies is on changes in mean climate. In terms of climate model output, these changes are more robust than changes in climate variability. By concentrating on changes in climate means, the full impacts of climate change on biological and h...

Livestock production is a promising agricultural sector to explore in view of achieving greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions reduction, given that it is the largest source of emissions from agriculture. The combination of economic
importance and high emissions intensities makes the Kenyan livestock sec...
