Situated between Mozambique and Madagascar, the Union of the Comoros is one of the world’s
poorest countries. Heavy dependence on agriculture, complicated by high population density
and a lack of governance has led to mismanagement of natural resources and land degradation.
Additionally, the coun...

A spatially explicit assessment of climate change vulnerability in the agricultural sector of the Union of the Comoros
Localisé entre le Mozambique et Madagascar, l’Union des Comores est un des pays les plus
pauvres du monde. Sa très forte dépendance au secteur agricole couplée avec une densité de
population élevée et d’un manque de gouvernance a conduit le pays vers une mauvaise gestion
des ressources naturelles...

Une évaluation spatialement explicite de la vulnérabilité du secteur agricole au changement climatique dans l'Union des Comores
Most of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), including Kenya, depend heavily on agriculture for income and food security. Any effort aiming to sustain and improve the productivity in agriculture is, therefore, an important step towards improving the livelihoods of many households. Soils are...

Determinants of Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies at Farm Plot Level: An Assessment from Southern Tanzania
Research-based evidence on the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices is vital to their effective uptake, continued use and wider diffusion. In addition, an enabling policy environment at the national and regional levels is necessary for this evidence to be used effectively. This chapte...

Towards climate smart livestock systems in Tanzania: assessing opportunities to meet the triple win
Extreme weather is causing significant problems for smallholder farmers and others who depend on agricultural value chains in developing countries. Although value-chain analysis can help untangle the complex relationships within agricultural systems, it often has failed to take into account the e...
This study assessed the adoption of stress-tolerant varieties and their effect on household welfare, measured by net crop income per capita in Nwoya District, Uganda. The stress-tolerant varieties were considered to be climate-smart because they stabilise and increase crop income in the presence ...
