Cooper, Peter J.M.Coe, R.Stern, RD[Assessing and addressing climate-induced risk in Sub-Saharan rainfed agriculture]Assessing and addressing climate-induced risk in Sub-Saharan rainfed agriculture

Making sure that we will continue to have enough to eat is at the heart of our shared ambitions to mitigate climate change. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the convention that has guided us through the highs and lows of 18 rounds of annual negotiations, states ...

Increased use of irrigation and nitrogen (N) in rice and wheat would increase productivity. It would also enhance the emission of greenhouse gases from soil causing global warming and climate change. This study quantified the trade-offs between increased production with N fertilizer and irrigatio...


Bhatia, ArtiPathak, HimanshuAggarwal, Pramod K.Jain, Niveta[Trade-off between productivity enhancement and global warming potential of rice and wheat in India]Trade-off between productivity enhancement and global warming potential of rice and wheat in India

Currently there is no effective mechanism for measuring the potential benefits of integrated pest and disease interventions in terms of reducing pesticide risks in potato production in developing countries. The environmental impact quotient (EIQ), a composite hazard indicator, was applied to data...


Kromann, P.Pradel, W.Cole, D.Taipe, ArturoForbes, G.[Use of the Environmental Impact Quotient to Estimate Health and Environmental Impacts of Pesticide Usage in Peruvian and Ecuadorian Potato Production]Use of the Environmental Impact Quotient to Estimate Health and Environmental Impacts of Pesticide Usage in Peruvian and Ecuadorian Potato Production

Cameroon is committed to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation plus conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of carbon stocks (REDD+). To achieve this goal, the government has introduced a series of policy reforms and formulated a number of key strate...


Kehbila, A.G.Alemagi, D.Minang, Peter A.[Comparative multicriteria assessment of climate policies and sustainable development strategies in Cameroon: towards a GIS decisionsupport tool for the design of an optimal REDD+ strategy]Comparative multicriteria assessment of climate policies and sustainable development strategies in Cameroon: towards a GIS decisionsupport tool for the design of an optimal REDD+ strategy

Participatory research, using the FAO’s Aquacrop model, is investigating crop yields under several climate change scenarios, and feeding the findings in to a national, cross-sectoral economic model. Stakeholders, from farmers to national decision makers, are using the same model to guide their de...


Loboguerrero Rodriguez, Ana MaríaVermeulen, Sonja J.[Linking local agriculture to national policy by studying climate change economics in Colombia]Linking local agriculture to national policy by studying climate change economics in Colombia

Combustion of fuels in the residential sector for cooking and heating results in the emission of aerosol and aerosol precursors impacting air quality, human health, and climate. Residential emissions are dominated by the combustion of solid fuels. We use a global aerosol microphysics model to sim...


Butt, E.W.Rap, A.Schmidt, A.Scott, C.E.Pringle, K.J.Reddington, C.L.Richards, N.A.D.Woodhouse, M.T.Ramírez Villegas, JuliánYang, H.Vakkari, V.Stone, E.A.Rupakheti, M.Praveen, P.S.Zyl, P.G. vanBeukes, J.P.Josipovic, M.Mitchell, E.J.S.Sallu, S.M.Forster, P.M.Spracklen, D.V.[The impact of residential combustion emissions on atmospheric aerosol, human health, and climate]The impact of residential combustion emissions on atmospheric aerosol, human health, and climate

Containing a wealth of up-to-date research and examples, this booklet highlights the ‘cause and effect’ relationship between agriculture and climate change. Crucially it observes that a range of practices – ‘climate-smart agriculture’ – could increase food production, help farmers to become more ...
