At the Paris climate summit in 2015, the World Business Council on Sustainable
Development (WBCSD) announced a set of 2030 ambitions under the three pillars of climate
smart agriculture (CSA), namely productivity, resilience and mitigation. Based on work under
WBCSD’s workstream to improve busi...

How can we develop value chain programs that address climate risks?
Climate change fundamentally shifts the agricultural development agenda. Changing temperature and precipitation, sea level rise, and the rising frequency of extreme climate events will significantly reduce global food production in this century unless action is taken. Major investments, private an...
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
Global warming will have far-reaching consequences for agriculture that will dispropotionately affect poor and marginalized groups who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods and have a lower capacity to adapt. Sustainable food security in a world of growing population and changing dieats is ...

How can we feed nine billion people while reducing GHG emissions?
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...

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has become a central
concept shaping action and bringing together
constituencies at the global level on agriculture and
climate change. In essence, climate-smart agriculture
pays explicit attention to how interventions in agriculture
and food systems affect each of...
