Every year the northern part of the India faces heightened air pollution during the month of
November and December. The problem is such that one can easily feel the sensation in eyes and
problem in breathing if one lives or travels to the region specially states like Punjab, Haryana,
Delhi, Uttar...

Background: In search of options to cope with climate change and variability, a trial combining fertilization and
improved varieties of millet and cowpea (intercropped or as sole crop) was conducted on three sites (Lemnogo,
Tibtenga and Ramdolla) in the northern region of Burkina Faso. The applic...

Conservation agriculture (CA) based on minimum soil disturbance, crop residue retention and crop rotations is considered as a soil and crop management system that could potentially increase soil quality and mitigate the negative effects of climate variability. When CA is combined with drought-tol...

CSA and its principles: food security, mitigation, and adaptation, have been widely recognized as key elements for decision makers to include to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet implementing successful innovations on a wider scale across nations – and even geographies – remains a chall...

A robust, resilient, and enabling policy environment is critical to take agriculture innovations to scale at national or regional level.
Policy formulation processes that consider climate variability, socioeconomic and environmental shocks require participatory, inclusive, and explorative scenari...
Better soil health can increase agricultural productivity. Restoration activities can build on-farm resilience and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Land and soil health surveys can improve crop modeling predictions under various climate scenarios and guide more targeted in...

The process of getting climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions and practices to farmers is just as important as the interventions and practices.
Given the complex systems in which CSA is implemented and the various CSA practices and technologies, there is no one-size-fits-all scaling path...

Recognizing successful climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices is not enough for them to be adopted at scale.
At many sites, government or development-led interventions to promote CSA practices face low adoption rates or are not adopted at all.
Data shows that CSA adoption depends on drivers...
