Agriculture in Kenya contributes to the national economy, food security, and employment of rural households. Climate change and weather variability affect agricultural production negatively and it is expected to worsen in the future. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices present an opportunit...
The CSA profile for the Kyrgyz Republic was developed with funding from the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) (see https://www.gfdrr.org/en/who-we-are).
An estimated 18 to 37 billion tons of carbon could be sequestered in croplands globally over the next 20 years by implementing best practices for soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration (Zomer et al. 2017). In addition, more than 380 billion tons of carbon are at risk of loss from carbon dense pe...
This The Gambia country CSA profile provides a snapshot of a developing baseline created to initiate discussion, both within countries and globally, about entry points for investing in CSA at scale.

Crop and climate models predict how climate change will impact yields of various crops in different regions. However, it is difficult to predict the impact of climate change on individuals’ lives. Different groups and types of people experience the impacts of climate change differently depending ...

Les modèles agricoles et climatiques sont capables de pré-dire l’impact du changement climatique sur les rende-ments de différentes récoltes dans diverses régions. Cet impact est toutefois difficile à prévoir sur la vie des indivi-dus. Chaque groupe ou type de personnes vivra différemment les con...

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing soil or biomass carbon stocks are the main agricultural pathways to mitigate climate change. Scientific and policy attention has recently turned to evaluating the potential of practices that can increase soil carbon sequestration. Forty perce...
