Agricultural ecosystems and their services: the vanguard of sustainability?
Large scale investment is needed to create climate-smart agriculture (CSA) systems. While many government and development agencies are integrating CSA into their policies, programmes, plans and projects, there is little guidance for operational planning and implementation on ways to be climate-sm...

Adoption of technologies that enhance soil carbon sequestration in East Africa: What influence farmers’ decision?
Planning robust climate-smart development programs can be done today with existing information.
We propose a risk-household-option modeling approach to address household food security under climate change in Africa.
Through a case study in Niger, we demonstrate that prioritizing CSA is possible b...
