Climate change is expected to increase the risk from extreme climate events, such as drought, flooding and heat waves, in much of the developing world (IPCC 2012, 2014). Extreme events erode farmers’ livelihoods through loss of productive assets, while the uncertainty associated with climate vari...

The way we produce food must adapt to a variable and changing climate. And key to achieving this is to improve the link between climate information and agricultural practices, especially those of smallholder farmers in developing countries. ‘Agro-climate tools’ do just that and some are introduce...
