Reaching the last mile: best practices in leveraging the power of ICTs to communicate climate services to farmers at scale
The climate of South Asia defies easy generalization, comprising a wide range of conditions across a large geographical scale and varied topography. India, for instance, hosts 6 major climatic sub-types, ranging from desert in the west, to alpine tundra and glaciers in the north, to humid tropica...

Evidence and policy implications of climate-smart agriculture in Kenya
Food security in Nepal is highly sensitive to climate risks. Recent climate-related events, such as the floods of 2008 and the winter drought of 2008/2009, have highlighted the potential impacts of climate on food production, access to markets and income from agricultural activities. However, the...
