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,...

Thornton, Philip K.Jones, Peter G.Farrow, AndrewAlagarswamy, G.Andresen, J.[Crop yield response to climate change in East Africa: comparing highlands and lowlands]Crop yield response to climate change in East Africa: comparing highlands and lowlands

The Earth’s climate is changing at unprecedented rates, largely due to anthropogenic factors (IPCC 2007). This, together with other drivers such as population increases and increased demand for crop and livestock products, is causing agro-ecosystems to evolve faster than previously expected. Thes...

The mixed crop-livestock systems of the developing world will become increasingly important for meeting the food security challenges of the coming decades. The synergies and trade-offs between food security, adaptation, and mitigation objectives are not well studied, however. Comprehensive evalua...

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

This paper offers an overview of how climate change is already affecting farmers across eastern and southern Africa, and how it will continue to affect them in the future. The rising temperatures and increased rainfall variability associated with climate change are undermining the livelihoods and...

Trade-off analysis has become an increasingly important approach for evaluating system level outcomes of agricultural production and for prioritising and targeting management interventions in multi-functional agricultural landscapes. We review the strengths and weakness of different techniques av...

A major characteristic of pastoral systems has been their endurance through time (1). The same cannot be said about many other agricultural land-use systems. A considerable literature exists on their evolution, rooted in the location geography developed by von Thu¨ nen in the early nineteenth cen...
