We present a framework for prioritizing adaptation approaches at a range of timeframes. The framework is illustrated by four case studies from developing countries, each with associated characterization of uncertainty. Two cases on near-term adaptation planning in Sri Lanka and on stakeholder sce...

The ‘sustainable intensification’ (SI) approach and ‘climate-smart agriculture’ (CSA) are highly complementary. SI is an essential means of adapting to climate change, also resulting in lower emissions per unit of output. With its emphasis on improving risk management, information flows and local...


Campbell, Bruce M.Thornton, Philip K.Zougmoré, Robert B.Asten, Piet J.A. vanLipper, Leslie[Sustainable intensification: What is its role in climate smart agriculture?]Sustainable intensification: What is its role in climate smart agriculture?

Climate change impacts food production systems, particularly in locations with large, vulnerable populations. Elevated greenhouse gases (GHG), as well as land cover/land use change (LCLUC), can influence regional climate dynamics. Biophysical factors such as topography, soil type, and seasonal ra...


Moore NAlagarswamy, G.Pijanowski, B.C.Thornton, Philip K.Lofgren BOlson JAndresen, J.Yanda, P.Z.Qi J[East African food security as influenced by future climate change and land use change at local to regional scales]East African food security as influenced by future climate change and land use change at local to regional scales

Smallholder crop–livestock farming systems have an important role to play for food security in Sub-Saharan Africa, but they have to cope with the effects of climate variability and change. In this study, we test the impacts of different interventions in two contrasting mixed farms in Northern Bur...


Rigolot, C.Voil, P. deDouxchamps, SabinePrestwidge, D.Wijk, Mark T. vanThornton, Philip K.Rodríguez, D.Henderson, Benjamin B.Medina, D.Herrero, Mario T.[Interactions between intervention packages, climatic risk, climate change and food security in mixed crop–livestock systems in Burkina Faso]Interactions between intervention packages, climatic risk, climate change and food security in mixed crop–livestock systems in Burkina Faso

Agriculture and food security are key sectors for intervention under climate change. Agricultural production is highly vulnerable even to 2C (low-end) predictions for global mean temperatures in 2100, with major implications for rural poverty and for both rural and urban food security. Agricultur...

Dwivedi, S.L.Siddique, K.H.M.Farooq, M.Thornton, Philip K.Ortiz, R.[Using biotechnology-led approaches to uplift cereal and food legume yields in dryland environments]Using biotechnology-led approaches to uplift cereal and food legume yields in dryland environments

The impacts of climate change are expected to be generally detrimental for agriculture in many parts of Africa. Overall, warming and drying may reduce crop yields by 10–20% to 2050, but there are places where losses are likely to be much more severe. Increasing frequencies of heat stress, drought...


Jones, Peter G.Thornton, Philip K.[Croppers to livestock keepers: livelihood transitions to 2050 in Africa due to climate change]Croppers to livestock keepers: livelihood transitions to 2050 in Africa due to climate change

Despite the fact that many smallholder farming systems in developing countries revolve around the interactions of crop and livestock enterprises, the modelling of these systems using combinations of detailed crop and livestock models is comparatively under-developed. A wide variety of separate cr...


Thornton, Philip K.Herrero, Mario T.[Integrated crop-livestock simulation models for scenario analysis and impact assessment]Integrated crop-livestock simulation models for scenario analysis and impact assessment

Historically, pastoral people were able to more freely use the services their semi-arid and arid ecosystems provide, and they adapted to changes in ways that improved their well-being. More recently, their ability to adapt has been constrained due to changes from within and from outside their com...
