A robust, resilient, and enabling policy environment is critical to take agriculture innovations to scale at national or regional level.
Policy formulation processes that consider climate variability, socioeconomic and environmental shocks require participatory, inclusive, and explorative scenari...
Better soil health can increase agricultural productivity. Restoration activities can build on-farm resilience and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Land and soil health surveys can improve crop modeling predictions under various climate scenarios and guide more targeted in...

Invest in climate-smart soil and land health
Research suggests that gender equity is a critical factor in the adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices.
If gender is not explicitly considered in climate-related interventions, the adoption of climate-resilient practices is unlikely to reach scale.
Climate-resilient interventio...

Design climate-smart agricultural interventions to be gender inclusive
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is being widely promoted as a solution for food insecurity
and climate change adaptation in food systems of sub-Saharan Africa, while simultaneously
reducing the rate of greenhouse gas emissions. Governments throughout Africa are writing
policies and programs to...

Evidence-based opportunities for out-scaling climate-smart agriculture in East Africa
This paper offers an overview of how climate change is already affecting farmers across eastern and southern Africa, and how it will continue to affect them in the future. The rising temperatures and increased rainfall variability associated with climate change are undermining the livelihoods and...

Future Climate Projections in Africa: Where Are We Headed?
Research shows that climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is beneficial in increasing productivity, promoting resilience and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Achieving benefits in all three dimensions is difficult, and so necessary choices among competing investments and objectives must be made.
The ...

Assess whole-farm trade-offs and synergies for climate-smart agriculture
Clearly showing the benefits of certain climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions over others in a particular context is key to facilitating prudent investment of scarce resources.
Ranking certain CSA practices over others is complex because CSA implies multiple outcomes, which vary with co...
