The Local Technical Agroclimatic Committees (LTACs) are process of dialogue between a diversity of local actors, that include researchers, techniques, representatives of the public and private sector and farmers that seek to understand the possible climate behavior in a territory and the recommen...
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is widely promoted as an approach for reorienting agricultural development under the realities of climate change. Prioritising research-for-development activities is crucial, given the need to utilise scarce resources as effectively as possible. However, no framewo...

Improving seasonal precipitation forecast for agriculture in the Orinoquía Region of Colombia
This chapter discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture and the role of adaptation. Specifically, the chapter explores the following impacts of climate change on agriculture: increased CO2 concentrations, water availability, and pests and diseases. The chapter also includes reports of...

Regional Impacts of Climate Change and the role of Adaptation
Substantial evidence now exists suggesting that agricultural yields will have to increase significantly in order to meet food needs during the 21st century. One such way of increasing yields is to develop high yielding cultivars through crop improvement. This Working Paper summarises the results ...

Environmental characterisation to guide breeding decisions in a changing climate
Perennial horticultural crop production is sensitive to temperature, water availability, solar radiation, air pollution, and CO2. The value of perennial horticultural crops is derived from not only the quantity but also the quality of the harvested product. Perennial crop production is not easily...

Global climate models (GCMs) have become increasingly important for climate change
science and provide the basis for most impact studies. Since impact models are highly
sensitive to input climate data, GCM skill is crucial for getting better short-, medium- and
long-term outlooks for agricultural...

In this article the authors assess the potential impacts of projected climate change on water, livelihoods and food security in the Basin Focal Projet basins. The authors consider expected change within the context of recently observed climate variability in the basins to better understand the po...

Governments and conservation organizations have dedicated extensive resources to protect biodiversity, but their conservation strategies have largely been developed under an assumption of a static climate. These strategies may fail with changing climates, especially when combined with existing an...
