CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security[CSALP South Asia Quarterly Newsletter Vol.18]CSALP South Asia Quarterly Newsletter Vol.18

Livestock production is very risky due to climate variability in semi-arid Sub-Saharan Africa. Using data collected from 400 households in the Borena zone of the Oromia Region, we explored what drives adoption of agricultural practices that can decrease the vulnerability of agro-pastoralists to c...

There has been much debate about the uncertainties associated with the estimation of direct and indirect agricultural nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in developing countries and in particular from tropical regions. In this study, we report an up-to-date review of the information published in peer-r...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture now exceed emissions from land use, land use change and forestry, including deforestation, and are growing at a rate of about 1% per year (Tubiellio et al. 2015). The main livestock emission sources – enteric fermentation, manure management and manu...
