Fernandes, KatiaMuñoz, AngelRamírez Villegas, JuliánAgudelo, DiegoLlanos-Herrera, LizethEsquivel, AlejandraRodriguez-Espinoza , JefersonPrager, Steven D.[Improving seasonal precipitation forecast for agriculture in the Orinoquía Region of Colombia]Improving seasonal precipitation forecast for agriculture in the Orinoquía Region of Colombia

The impacts of climate change on crop yields, as projected by a slew of impact assessments carried out since the 1980s, have brought the issue of future food insecurity to the fore. A meta-analysis of ~27,000 data points from studies published over the last four decades reveals that at country le...


Aggarwal, Pramod K.Vyas, ShalikaThornton, Philip K.Campbell, Bruce M.[How much does climate change add to the challenge of feeding the planet this century?]How much does climate change add to the challenge of feeding the planet this century?

Understanding the emergence and subsequent spread of human infectious diseases is a critical global challenge, especially for high-impact zoonotic and vector-borne diseases. Global climate and land-use change are likely to alter host and vector distributions, but understanding the impact of these...


Redding, D.Tiedt, S.Lo Iacono, G.Bett, Bernard K.Jones, K.[Spatial, seasonal and climatic predictive models of Rift Valley fever disease across Africa]Spatial, seasonal and climatic predictive models of Rift Valley fever disease across Africa

Global rice production systems face two opposing challenges: the need to increase production to accommodate the world's growing population while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Adaptations to drainage regimes are one of the most promising options for methane mitigation in ...


Islam, Syed Faiz-ulGroenigen, Jan Willem vanJensen, Lars S.Sander, Bjoern OleNeergaard, Andreas de[The effective mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from rice paddies without compromising yield by early-season drainage]The effective mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from rice paddies without compromising yield by early-season drainage

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...


Thornton, Philip K.Schuetz, TonyaFörch, WiebkeCramer, LauraAbreu, DavidVermeulen, Sonja J.Campbell, Bruce M.[Responding to global change: A theory of change approach to making agricultural research for development outcome-based]Responding to global change: A theory of change approach to making agricultural research for development outcome-based

In response to changing urban food systems, short supply chains have been advocated to meet urban food needs while building more sustainable urban food systems. Despite an increasing interest in urban food supply and the flows of food from production to consumption, there is a lack of empirical s...


Karg, H.Drechsel, PayAkoto-Danso, Edmund K.Glaser, R.Nyarko, G.Buerkert, Andreas[Foodsheds and city region food systems in two West African cities]Foodsheds and city region food systems in two West African cities

Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. The growing global population is putting pressure on agricultural production systems that aim to secure food production while minimising GHG emissions. In this study, the GHG emissions associated with the production of majo...


Vetter, Sylvia H.Sapkota, Tek BahadurHillier, JohnStirling, Clare M.Macdiarmid, Jennie I.Aleksandrowicz, LukaszGreen, RosemaryJoy, Edward J. M.Dangour, Alan D.Smith, Pete[Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural food production to supply Indian diets: Implications for climate change mitigation]Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural food production to supply Indian diets: Implications for climate change mitigation

The planet’s mean air and ocean temperatures have been rising over the last century because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions. These changes have substantial effects on the epidemiology of infectious diseases. We describe direct and indirect processes linking climate change and infectious di...


Bett, Bernard K.Kiunga, P.Gachohi, John M.Sindato, C.Mbotha, D.Robinson, Timothy P.Lindahl, Johanna F.Grace, Delia[Effects of climate change on the occurrence and distribution of livestock diseases]Effects of climate change on the occurrence and distribution of livestock diseases

Most current approaches to landscape scale ecosystem service assessments rely on detailed secondary data. This type of data is seldom available in regions with high levels of poverty and strong local dependence on provisioning ecosystem services for livelihoods. We develop a method to extrapolate...
