Climate change, degradation of natural resources, conflict or civil war, diseases and poverty are among the key threats that impact agriculture, human nutrition, food security and food safety among rural households in developing countries. Sustainability of food systems and livelihoods will thus ...


Mwungu, Chris MiyinziShikuku, Kelvin MashisiaAtibo, ChristopherMwongera, Caroline[Survey-based data on food security, nutrition and agricultural production shocks among rural farming households in northern Uganda]Survey-based data on food security, nutrition and agricultural production shocks among rural farming households in northern Uganda

This chapter assessed the influence of socioeconomic factors, plot characteristics, food security, and climatic variables on the adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies in southern Tanzania. Using data collected from 357 households and 464 agricultural plots, a multivariate probi...


Mwungu, Chris MiyinziMwongera, CarolineShikuku, KelvinAcosta, MariolaLäderach, Peter[Determinants of Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies at Farm Plot Level: An Assessment from Southern Tanzania]Determinants of Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies at Farm Plot Level: An Assessment from Southern Tanzania

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...


Ampaire, Edidah L.Acosta, MariolaMwongera, CarolineLäderach, PeterEitzinger, AntonLamanna, ChristineMwungu, Chris MiyinziShikuku, K.M.Twyman, JenniferWinowiecki, Leigh A.[Formulate equitable climate-smart agricultural policies]Formulate equitable climate-smart agricultural policies

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...

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...


Twyman, JenniferMwongera, CarolineLäderach, PeterAcosta, MariolaAmpaire, Edidah L.Eitzinger, AntonLamanna, ChristineMwungu, Chris MiyinziShikuku, K.M.Winowiecki, Leigh A.[Design climate-smart agricultural interventions to be gender inclusive]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...


Lamanna, ChristineNamoi, NictorKimaro, Anthony A.Mpanda, MathewEgeru, AnthonyOkia, ClementRamírez Villegas, JuliánMwongera, CarolineAmpaire, Edidah L.Asten, Piet J.A. vanWinowiecki, Leigh A.Läderach, PeterRosenstock, Todd S.[Evidence-based opportunities for out-scaling climate-smart agriculture in East Africa]Evidence-based opportunities for out-scaling climate-smart agriculture in East Africa

This data was collected in seven west African countries namely Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Benin, Gambia and Senegal. In 2012, the Danish government funded seven projects in west Africa to help small scale farmers adapt to the negative effects of climate change. These projects were imple...


Mwungu, Chris MiyinziKizito, FredMwongera, CarolineKoech, NicholasOdhiambo, Collins[Household survey data of integrated land and water management for adaptation to climate variability and change in West Africa]Household survey data of integrated land and water management for adaptation to climate variability and change in West Africa

Seventy percent of all economic losses in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are solely attributed to droughts and floods. A considerable challenge for policy in SSA, therefore, relates to identifying and promoting options that could address climatic shocks. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA)—an approach seek...


Shikuku, Kelvin MashisiaMwungu, Chris MiyinziMwongera, Caroline[Impact of drought-tolerant maize and maize–legume intercropping on the climate resilience of rural households in Northern Uganda]Impact of drought-tolerant maize and maize–legume intercropping on the climate resilience of rural households in Northern Uganda

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 ...
