Rural households in sub-Saharan Africa earn a substantial part of their living from rain-fed smallholder agriculture, which is highly sensitive to climate change. There is a growing number of multi-level assessments on impacts and adaptation options for African smallholder systems under climate c...

Vulnerability and adaptation options to climate change for rural livelihoods – a country-wide analysis for Uganda
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...

Methods for environment: productivity trade-off analysis in agricultural systems
The purpose of this report is to examine the interconnectedness between climate change and food and nutrition security in Latin America and to offer a suite of methods for measuring how they affect one another. This first part of the report offers a brief overview of food and nutrition security i...

Methods Proposed to Evaluate the Potential Impact of Climate Change on Food and Nutrition Security in Central America and the Dominican Republic
We systematically reviewed the literature on farm household models, with emphasis on those focused on smallholder systems. The models were evaluated on their predictive ability to describe short term (3–10 years) food security of smallholder farm households under climate variability and under dif...

Farm household models to analyse food security in a changing climate: A review
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...

Planning robust climate-smart development programs can be done today with existing information.
We propose a risk-household-option modeling approach to address household food security under climate change in Africa.
Through a case study in Niger, we demonstrate that prioritizing CSA is possible b...
