Hills, T.Pramova, E.Neufeldt, HenryEricksen, Polly J.Thornton, Philip K.Noble, A.D.Weight, ElizabethCampbell, Bruce M.McCartney, Matthew P.[A monitoring instrument for resilience]A monitoring instrument for resilience

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. We contend that improving the adequacy of mathematica...


Tedeschi, L.O.Cavalcanti, L.F.L.Fonseca M.A.Herrero, Mario T.Thornton, Philip K.[The evolution and evaluation of dairy cattle models for predicting milk production: an agricultural model intercomparison and improvement project (AgMIP) for livestock]The evolution and evaluation of dairy cattle models for predicting milk production: an agricultural model intercomparison and improvement project (AgMIP) for livestock

The promotion of climate-smart agriculture in different parts of the world requires a clear understanding of its relative suitability, costs and benefits, and the environmental implications of various technological interventions in a local context under current and future climates. Such data are ...


Shirsath, Paresh B.Aggarwal, Pramod K.Thornton, Philip K.Dunnett, Alex[Prioritizing climate-smart agricultural land use options at a regional scale]Prioritizing climate-smart agricultural land use options at a regional scale

Herrero, Mario T.Thornton, Philip K.[Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from livestock systems]Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from livestock systems

The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) integrates climate change research across all CGIAR Research Centres and Research Programs. Some of CCAFS’ work since 2010 has involved the development of high quality, accessible and easy-to-use climate data and ...


Rassmann, KorneliaSchuetz, TonyaThornton, Philip K.Cramer, Laura[Assessing the influence of CCAFS’ climate data and tools: findings from an Outcome Harvesting evaluation]Assessing the influence of CCAFS’ climate data and tools: findings from an Outcome Harvesting evaluation

The chapter presents a research for development program’s shift from a Logframe Approach to an outcome and results-based management oriented Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) system. The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) is designing an impact...


Schuetz, TonyaFörch, WiebkeThornton, Philip K.Vasileiou, Ioannis[Pathway to impact: Supporting and evaluating enabling environments for research for development]Pathway to impact: Supporting and evaluating enabling environments for research for development

If climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is meaningfully to address the development challenges posed by climate change, effective approaches will be needed to scale up research findings. Here, eleven case studies are used to exemplify scaling-up strategies based on (1) value chains and private sector i...


Westermann, OlafFörch, WiebkeThornton, Philip K.Körner, JanaCramer, LauraCampbell, Bruce M.[Scaling up agricultural interventions: Case studies of climate-smart agriculture]Scaling up agricultural interventions: Case studies of climate-smart agriculture

This document describes a monitoring instrument for efficiently tracking changes in resilience in agricultural initiatives. Operationalizing the concept of resilience (i.e. the ability to withstand change, stresses and shocks) poses significant challenges for project managers, particularly when r...


Hills TPramova ENeufeldt, HenryEricksen, Polly J.Thornton, Philip K.Noble, A.D.Weight, ElizabethCampbell, Bruce M.McCartney, Matthew P.[A Monitoring Instrument for Resilience]A Monitoring Instrument for Resilience

Climate change science has been discussed and synthesized by the world's best minds at unprecedented scales. Now that the Kyoto Protocol may become a reality, it is time to be realistic about the likelihood of success of mitigation activities. Pastoral lands in the tropics hold tremendous sequest...


Reid, Robin S.Thornton, Philip K.McCrabb, G.J.Kruska, R.L.Atieno, F.Jones, Peter G.[Is it possible to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in pastoral ecosystems of the tropics?]Is it possible to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in pastoral ecosystems of the tropics?

The potential of participatory scenario processes to catalyse individual and collective transformation and policy change is emphasised in several theoretical reflections. Participatory scenario processes are believed to enhance participants’ systems understanding, learning, networking and subsequ...
