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...

The livestock sector globally consttutes a development conundrum: the benefts and the costs are both mult-faceted and highly context-specifc, and their honest appraisal defes simple analysis and easy categorizaton. In the past, changes in the demand for livestock products have been largely driven...


Thornton, Philip K.[How will the world perceive livestock agriculture in relation to the impacts on, and of, climate change?]How will the world perceive livestock agriculture in relation to the impacts on, and of, climate change?

Many assessments of climate change impacts on global crop yields project declines as early as the 2020s. Losses are projected to increase with time, up to 50% by the 2080s. We carry out a systematic global review and compare published projections of climate change impacts from 34 studies and ∼450...
