El suelo es el mayor reservorio de Carbono (C) en los ecosistemas terrestres, se estima que almacena cerca de 1500 gigatoneladas (Gt). Este C almacenado en el suelo, está relacionado con la composición de las plantas, ingreso de la materia orgánica (residuos), el clima (temperatura y humedad), pr...

Many projections of the impact of climate change on the crop, livestock and fishery production sectors of African agriculture are reported in the literature. However, they may be arguably too general to understand the magnitude of impact and to inform adaptation strategies and policy development ...

Agriculture is the largest employment sector for 60% of women in Oceania, Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and women make up 2/3 of the world’s 600 million small livestock managers. Despite this, women’s activities in agriculture are characterised by a global gender gap in vulnerabilities, ac...

Climate change and variability present a major challenge to agricultural production and rural livelihoods, including livelihoods of women smallholder farmers. There are significant efforts underway to develop, deploy, and scale up Climate-Smart Agricultural (CSA) practices and technologies to fac...

Though springs are the primary source of water for communities in the mid-hills of Nepal, an in-depth scientific understanding of spring systems is missing, preventing the design of effective climate-resilient interventions for long-term sustainability of springs. This study marks the first attem...

Agro-ecosystem productivity is highly dependent on moisture fluxes yet climate variability and climate change induce unpredictable dynamic interactions between farm-level and landscape-level flow of water resources. In this study, water balance dynamics at the farm level were investigated using r...

Agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa faces daunting challenges, which climate change and increasing climate variability will compound in vulnerable areas. The impacts of a changing climate on agricultural production in a world that warms by 4°C or more are likely to be severe in places....
