Incremento en la presión sobre los ecosistemas altoandinos por cambios en la adaptación de cultivos
This chapter provides an overview of predicted global climate change, placing special emphasis on the implications for agriculture. The power of modelling for understanding both impacts on productivity and adaptation options is demonstrated. The models on agricultural production for
50 crops pred...

Impacto del cambio climatico para el cultivo de café en Nicaragua
Global circulation models all forecast that climate change will increase mean temperatures and change precipitation regimes. As a result, traditional coffee growing regions may disappear and new regions may appear. At the same time, demand for high quality, responsibly sourced coffee continues to...

Global warming and climate change is now perceived to be the greatest threat to agriculture production and food security in the 21st century. Nobel Prize winner, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) by means of the four assessment reports that have been released to date (IPCC 1990...

The impacts of climate change on tropical and subtropical horticultural production
The analogues approach, developed by CCAFS in R programming, is a novel way of supporting
climate and crop models with on-the-ground empirical testing. In essence, the analogues tool
connects sites with statistically similar (‘analogous’) climates, across space (i.e. between
locations) and/or ...
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) is using theory of change (TOC) planning to specify research outputs, partnerships needed to produce outputs, and a plausible hypothesis on how these outputs will contribute to development outcomes. This learning ...

Lessons in Theory of Change from a Series of Regional Planning Workshops
Agriculture is considered to be “climate-smart” when it contributes to increasing food security, adaptation and mitigation in a sustainable way. This new concept now dominates current discussions in agricultural development because of its capacity to unite the agendas of the agriculture, developm...

Beyond climate-smart agriculture: toward safe operating spaces for global food systems
This chapter analyses the climatic conditions prevailing at sites where tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) have been reported. Spatial data-sets of climate were used to describe the climate at 477 cloud forest sites identified by United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)-WCMC. Some 85% of the ...
The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects an ambition to improve the integration of agriculture development and climate responsiveness. It aims to achieve food security and broader development goals under a changing climate and increasing food demand.
CSA initiatives sustainably incre...
