Many projections of the impact of climate change on the crop, livestock and fishery production sectors of African agriculture are reported in the literature. However, they may be arguably too general to understand the magnitude
of impact and to inform adaptation strategies and policy development ...

Lessons on bridging the science-policy divide for climate change action in developing countries
Recently, a new approach to extension and climate information services, namely Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) has been developed. PICSA makes use of historical climate records, participatory decision-making tools and forecasts to help farmers identify and better...

5 enabling dimensions that might affect adoption patterns,
a set of 5 CORE indicators at Household level to assess perceived effects of CSA practices on Food Security, Productivity, Income and Climate vulnerability and
4 ...
The survey questionnaire is structured around different thematic modules (Demographic, Livelihoods, Food Security, Climate events, Climate Services, CSA practices, Financial Services) connected to standard CSA metrics and the specific indicators.
The framework responds to three main research questions:
Within each CSV community, who adopts which CSA technologies and practices and what are their motivations, enabling/constraining factors?
What are the gender-disaggregated perceived effects of CSA options on farmers’ livelihood (agricultura...
