In Uganda, Ghana and Bangladesh, participatory tools were used for a socio-economic and gender analysis of three topics: climate-smart agriculture (CSA), climate analogue approaches, and climate and weather forecasting. Policy and programme-relevant results were obtained. Smallholders are changin...

To achieve food security for many in low-income and middle-income countries for whom this is already a challenge, especially with the additional complications of climate change, will require early investment to support smallholder farming systems and the associated food systems that supply poor c...


Vermeulen, Sonja J.Zougmoré, Robert B.Wollenberg, Eva K.Thornton, Philip K.Nelson, Gerald C.Kristjanson, Patricia M.Kinyangi, JamesJarvis, AndyHansen, JamesChallinor, Andrew J.Campbell, Bruce M.Aggarwal, Pramod K.[Climate change, agriculture and food security: A global partnership to link research and action for low-income agricultural producers and consumers]Climate change, agriculture and food security: A global partnership to link research and action for low-income agricultural producers and consumers

The practical utilization of available modern as well as traditional weather forecasting systems builds herders’ resiliency capacity to climatic shocks. The precision and reliability of the forecasting system determines its creditability and acceptance by the users to be proactive in the decision...


Ayal, Desalegn Y.Desta, S.Gebru, G.Kinyangi, JamesRecha, John W.M.Radeny, Maren A.O.[Opportunities and challenges of indigenous biotic weather forecasting among the Borena herders of southern Ethiopia]Opportunities and challenges of indigenous biotic weather forecasting among the Borena herders of southern Ethiopia

When building soil organic matter (SOM) contents in agricultural production systems, stabilization of both pre-existing as well as added C is important. A laboratory mineralization experiment was conducted over 374 days to evaluate the effect of pre-existing SOM on soil C mineralization after add...

Much of the native forest in the highlands of western Kenya has been converted to agricultural land in order to feed the growing population, and more land is being cleared. In tropical Africa, this land use change results in progressive soil degradation, as the period of cultivation increases. Bo...

We investigated speciation, oxidative state changes, and long- and short-term molecular-level dynamics of organic S after 365 d of aerobic incubation with and without the addition of sugarcane residue using XANES spectroscopy. Soil samples were collected from the upper 15 cm of undisturbed grassl...

The CGIAR research programme on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security, in collaboration with several partners is testing a portfolio of interventions to address the threat of changing climatic conditions for smallholder farming communities living beside river flood plains, grouped into “Cl...

In the highlands of Western Kenya, we investigated the reversibility of soil productivity decline with increasing length of continuous maize cultivation over 100 years (corresponding to decreasing soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrient contents) using organic matter additions of differing quality...

We present a framework for prioritizing adaptation approaches at a range of timeframes. The framework is illustrated by four case studies from developing countries, each with associated characterization of uncertainty. Two cases on near-term adaptation planning in Sri Lanka and on stakeholder sce...
