Läderach, PeterSchepp, KathleenRamírez Villegas, JuliánJarvis, AndyEitzinger, Anton[Impacto del cambio climatico para el cultivo de café en Nicaragua]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...


Läderach, PeterLundy, MarkJarvis, AndyRamírez Villegas, JuliánPérez PESchepp KEitzinger, Anton[Predicted impact of climate change on coffee-supply chains]Predicted impact of climate change on coffee-supply chains

This book reviews the state of agricultural climate change mitigation globally, with a focus on identifying the feasibility, opportunities and challenges for achieving mitigation among smallholder farmers. The purpose is ultimately to accelerate efforts towards mitigating land-based climate chang...


Méndez VECastro-Tanzi, SGoodall KMorris KSBacon CMLäderach, PeterMorris WBGeorgeoglou-Laxalde MU[Livelihood and environmental trade-offs of climate mitigation in smallholder coffee agroforestry systems]Livelihood and environmental trade-offs of climate mitigation in smallholder coffee agroforestry systems

Crop-livestock production systems play an important role in the livelihoods of many rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) but are vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. Understanding which farming options will give the highest return on investment in light of climate change ...


Shikuku, K.M.Valdivia, RobertoPaul, Birthe K.Mwongera, CarolineWinowiecki, Leigh A.Läderach, PeterHerrero, Mario T.Silvestri, Silvia[Prioritizing climate-smart livestock technologies in rural Tanzania: a minimum data approach]Prioritizing climate-smart livestock technologies in rural Tanzania: a minimum data approach

Approaches that aim to identify and prioritize locally appropriate climate smart agriculture (CSA) technologies will need to address the context-specific multi-dimensional complexity in agricultural systems. The climate smart agriculture rapid appraisal (CSA-RA) is a mixed method approach that dr...


Mwongera, CarolineShikuku, K.M.Twyman, JenniferLäderach, PeterAmpaire, Edidah L.Asten, Piet J.A. vanTwomlow, StephenWinowiecki, Leigh A.[Climate smart agriculture rapid appraisal (CSA-RA): A tool for prioritizing context-specific climate smart agriculture technologies]Climate smart agriculture rapid appraisal (CSA-RA): A tool for prioritizing context-specific climate smart agriculture technologies

Smallholder farming systems are vulnerable to a number of challenges, including continued population growth, urbanization, income disparities, land degradation, decreasing farm size and productivity, all of which are compounded by uncertainty of climatic patterns. Understanding determinants of sm...


Chen, MinjieWichmann, BrunoLuckert, MartyWinowiecki, Leigh A.Förch, WiebkeLäderach, Peter[Diversification and intensification of agricultural adaptation from global to local scales]Diversification and intensification of agricultural adaptation from global to local scales

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...

This paper discusses a methodology to model precipitation indices and premium prices for index-based drought insurance for smallholders. Spatial basis risk, which is borne by the insured, is a problem, especially in variable topography. Also, site-specific drought risk needs to be estimated accur...

Maize and beans are a vital component of human diets and culture in Central America. More than a million smallholder families grow these crops for subsistence, producing 70% of the maize and 100% of the beans consumed locally. Average yields are low, however – 1.5 t/ha for maize and 0.7 t/ha for ...
