Agricultural research for development has made important contributions to poverty reduction and food security
over the last 40 years. Nevertheless, it is likely that both the speed of global change and its impacts on natural and
socio-economic systems are being under-estimated. Coupled with the m...

Responding to global change: A theory of change approach to making agricultural research for development outcome-based
The impacts of a warming world are affecting food production in every corner of the globe. From shifting rainfall patterns and growing seasons, to more frequent and extreme droughts and floods, to increasingly severe pest and disease outbreaks among crops and livestock, farming as we know it is u...

Feeding the World in a Changing Climate: An Adaptation Roadmap for Agriculture
In 2011, CCAFS carried out baseline surveys (household survey, a village study and an organizational survey) in 21 research sites across 17 countries within its five focus regions, using standardized baseline tools in each site. Seven years after the implementation of the baseline studies, the CC...

Livestock and resource use in the context of climate change
Agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa faces daunting challenges, which climate change and increasing climate variability will compound in vulnerable areas. The impacts of a changing climate on agricultural production in a world that warms by 4°C or more are likely to be severe in places....

Crop yield response to climate change in East Africa: comparing highlands and lowlands
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...

Decision makers in developing countries need evidence of the impacts climate change is having and will continue to have on agriculture and food systems as well as knowledge on how to design better policies to deal with such impacts. Research for development scientists are generating this evidence...

Do CCAFS’ climate data and tools contribute to development outcomes?
The production of International PublicGoods (IPGs) – such as high quality, easy to use climate data and tools – is part of CGIAR CCAFS’ delivery promise. With CCAFS’ transition to a results-based management approach there is an ...

Exploring and developing effective evaluative approaches for evidencing the contribution of CCAFS climate data and tools towards development outcomes
The world’s climate is continuing to change at rates that are projected to be unprecedented in recent human history. Some models are now indicating that the temperature increases to 2100 may be larger than previously estimated in 2001. The impacts of climate change are likely to be considerable i...
