Notenbaert, An Maria OmerPfeifer, CatherineSilvestri, SilviaHerrero, Mario T.[Corrigendum to “Targeting, out-scaling and prioritising climate-smart interventions in agricultural systems: Lessons from applying a generic framework to the livestock sector in sub-Saharan Africa” [Agric. Syst. 2017 Feb; 151: 153–162]]Corrigendum to “Targeting, out-scaling and prioritising climate-smart interventions in agricultural systems: Lessons from applying a generic framework to the livestock sector in sub-Saharan Africa” [Agric. Syst. 2017 Feb; 151: 153–162]

In this report, we highlight the global importance of animal food sources, presenting measures of production, consumption and international trade of meat, milk and eggs, and emphasizing effects of these on developing countries. Our discussion points out the implications for smallholder producers,...


Enahoro, Dolapo K.Herrero, Mario T.[Promising interventions for livestock production and productivity improvement in smallholder systems in developing countries]Promising interventions for livestock production and productivity improvement in smallholder systems in developing countries

This report presents 4 scenarios for the future of food security, agriculture, livelihoods and environments in East Africa. These scenarios were developed by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in collaboration with a wide range of regional stakeholders. Th...


Vervoort, Joost M.Palazzo, AmandaMason-D'Croz, DanielEricksen, Polly J.Thornton, Philip K.Kristjanson, Patricia M.Förch, WiebkeHerrero, Mario T.Havlík, PetrJost, ChristineRowlands, H.[The future of food security, environments and livelihoods in Eastern Africa: four socio-economic scenarios]The future of food security, environments and livelihoods in Eastern Africa: four socio-economic scenarios

This study systematically reviewed the literature to evaluate how suitable existing farm and farm household models are to study aspects of food security in relation to climate change adaptation, risk management and mitigation. We systematically scanned approximately 16,000 research articles cover...


Wijk, Mark T. vanRufino, Mariana C.Enahoro, Dolapo K.Parsons, D.Silvestri, SilviaValdivia, R.O.Herrero, Mario T.[A review on farm household modelling with a focus on climate change adaptation and mitigation]A review on farm household modelling with a focus on climate change adaptation and mitigation

Climate-induced livelihood transitons in the agricultural systems of Africa are increasingly likely. There has been only limited study on what such transitons might look like, but it is clear that the implicatons could be profound in relaton to social, environmental, economic and politcal efects ...


Thornton, Philip K.Rufino, Mariana C.Karanja, S.Jones, Peter G.Mutie, IanettaHerrero, Mario T.[Genesis reversed: climate change impacts on agriculture and livelihoods in mixed crop-livestock systems of East Africa]Genesis reversed: climate change impacts on agriculture and livelihoods in mixed crop-livestock systems of East Africa

The purpose of this transdisciplinary project was to cogenerate methods, information and solutions between local communities, local and international scientists and policy makers involved in climate change and adaptation programmes, for coping mechanisms and adapting strategies to climate change ...


Karanja Ng'ang'a, StanleyMaute, F.R.Notenbaert, An Maria OmerHerrero, Mario T.Moyo, Siboniso[Coping strategies and vulnerability to climate change of households in Mozambique]Coping strategies and vulnerability to climate change of households in Mozambique

New agricultural development pathways are required to meet climate change adaptation and mitigation needs in the food systems of low-income countries. A research and policy agenda is provided to indicate where innovation and new knowledge are needed. Adaptation requires identifying suitable crop ...


Wollenberg, Eva K.Herrero, Mario T.Wassmann, ReinerNeufeldt, HenryVermeulen, Sonja J.Rosswall, T.Campbell, Bruce M.Hellin, J.Jarvis, AndyChallinor, Andrew J.Snook, L.K.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.Kinyangi, James[Setting the agenda: Climate change adaptation and mitigation for food systems in the developing world]Setting the agenda: Climate change adaptation and mitigation for food systems in the developing world

The contemporary concern about anthropogenic release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the environment and the contribution of livestock to this phenomenon have sparked animal scientists’ interest in predicting methane (CH4) emissions by ruminants. Focusing on milk production, we address six basic nut...


Tedeschi, L.O.Herrero, Mario T.Thornton, Philip K.[An Overview of Dairy Cattle Models for Predicting Milk Production: Their Evolution, Evaluation, and Application for the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) for Livestock.]An Overview of Dairy Cattle Models for Predicting Milk Production: Their Evolution, Evaluation, and Application for the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) for Livestock.

The food system today is destroying the environment upon which future food production depends. While the food system generates enough food energy for our population of over 7 billion it does not deliver adequate and affordable nutrition for all. About half the global population is inadequately or...
