What are the key factors that contribute to household-level food security? What lessons can we learn
from food secure households? What agricultural options and management strategies are likely to benefit female-headed households in particular? This paper addresses these questions using a unique d...

Households and food security: lessons from food secure households in East Africa
If climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is meaningfully to address the development challenges posed by climate change, effective approaches will be needed to scale up research findings. Here, eleven case studies are used to exemplify scaling-up strategies based on (1) value chains and private sector i...

Smallholder farming systems are vulnerable to a number of challenges, including continued population growth, urbanization, income disparities, land degradation, decreasing farm size and productivity, all of which are compounded by uncertainty of climatic patterns. Understanding determinants of sm...

The online platform is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of CCAFS as well as the requirements of CGIAR.
•
Consensus is needed from the outset about the requirements of such a platform, as the right balance has to be struck between detail and leanness.

Governance of food systems is a poorly understood determinant of food security.
Much scholarship on food systems governance is non-empirical, while existing
research is often case study-based and theoretically and methodologically
