Climate-smart interventions in agriculture have varying costs and environmental and economic impacts. Their implementation requires appropriate investment decisions by policy makers that are relevant for current as well as future scenarios of agro-ecology, climate and economic development. Decisi...

This chapter tackles fundamental issues of research methodology and philosophy of science regarding adaptation policy. Importantly, the authorsdistinguish between research methods and the epistemological and ontological assumptions that underwrite research methodology. First, in terms of methods,...

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...

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...

This report presents 4 scenarios for the future of food security, agriculture, livelihoods and environments in East Africa. These scenarios were developed by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in collaboration with a wide range of regional stakeholders. Th...

The contemporary concern about anthropogenic release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the environment and the contribution of livestock to this phenomenon have sparked animal scientists’ interest in predicting methane (CH4) emissions by ruminants. Focusing on milk production, we address six basic nut...

En las últimas décadas la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en América Latina y el Caribe se ha fortalecido, pasando de un 14.7% de población afectada por el hambre en 1990 a un 5.5% en 2014 (FAOSTAT, 2016), cumpliendo con la meta del hambre de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio. Sin embar...

In recent decades, food and nutrition security in Latin America and the Caribbean has strengthened, decreasing the number of the population affected by hunger from 14.7% in 1990 to 5.5% in 2014 (FAOSTAT, 2016), meeting the hunger goal of the Millennium Development Goals. However, climate change, ...
