At the 21st session of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, COP21), a voluntary action plan, the ‘4 per 1000 Initiative: Soils for Food Security and Climate’ was proposed under the Agenda for Action. The Initiative underlines the role of soil organic matter (SOM) in ...

Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on crop, livestock and fisheries production, and will change the prevalence of crop pests. Many of these impacts are already measurable. Climate impact studies are dominated by those on crop yields despite the limitations of climate-crop modelling, wi...

Livestock keeping is ubiquitous in tropical Africa. Urine and dung from livestock release greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4), to the atmosphere. However, the extent of GHG’s impact is uncertain due to the lack of in situ measurements in the region. Here we meas...

An effort to analyze, publish, and present previously unreleased data on CSA

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has been promoted since 2011 to increase productivity, improve resilience to climate variability and change and reduce greenhouse gas emission, where feasible, in farming systems globally and especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. CSA is unique, by comparison, to some o...

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a systematic approach to agricultural development. It intends to address climate change and food security challenges simultaneously across levels, from field management to national policy, with goals to 1) improve food security and agricultural productivity, 2) ...

Farmers rarely apply CSA technologies in isolation and there is a strong demand for evidence about which bundles of practices work together to enhance outcome performance. The ERA database brings together thousands of African CSA studies giving us unprecedented power to explore trade-offs when bu...

However, the prevailing narrative suggests an endless search for inclusive business models that support a transition towards climate-smart agriculture (CSA). Our approach is a literature review of business models and CSA and qualitative fieldwork with four business models in Southern Africa to in...

Initial and sustained use of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) often hinges on the economic costs, benefits and risks of the new management practice, as well as farmer’s socio-economic endowments. However, data showing the economic performance of CSA is rarely presented. Incomplete or missing infor...
