CCAFS in South Asia is working with insurance companies and other stakeholders to help design innovative insurance products that are tailored to engage small-holder farmers in the management, reporting and verification of insurance schemes. The community managed insurance scheme is one such novel ...

Measurement of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture activity requires expensive equipment and human resources to proceed on a continuous basis and to provide annual and seasonal emission estimates. Also, estimation of spatial-temporal distribution of agricultural emissions using field data is...

Farmers are often not able to quickly access and adopt new crop varieties that are developed and tested by scientists. Biodiversity International, supported by CCAFS, is working with farmers to evaluate crop varieties as part of the ‘Seeds for Needs’ project. This project aims to expose local far...

A CCAFS-supported project led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and undertaken in collaboration with African partners, is exploring the relationship between changing weather patterns and agricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa. Published as a set of three books, t...

Climate variability affects food security directly, as a result of failed or bumper harvests, and indirectly, for example when flash flooding damages a road vital for access to markets. To what extent does climate variability figure in the decision-making that underpins plans to cope with threats...

In the early 2000s, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) started developing a tool to capture key factors of farming systems in standardized, quantitative data sets, ready to feed into models. Their product, the Integrated Modelling Platform for Mixed Animal-Crop Systems (IMPACT)...

En Afrique de l’Ouest, les changements climatiques font peser des menaces additionnelles sur le quotidien déjà précaire des populations. Pour atténuer l’impact de ces changements et assurer la sécurité alimentaire des populations de la sous-région, le renforcement du dialogue entre acteurs clés p...

Climate change hits smallholder farmers hard. More variable weather patterns cause crops to fail, undermining livelihoods and food security. At the same time, farming generates greenhouse gases (GHGs) that contribute to the problem. What practical steps can smallholder farmers take to adapt their...
