This study systematically reviewed the literature to evaluate how suitable existing farm and farm household models are to study aspects of food security in relation to climate change adaptation, risk management and mitigation. We systematically scanned approximately 16,000 research articles cover...

Uganda, and especially the Rakai district, is highly vulnerable to climate variability and likely to be amongst the worst hit under climate change. Any responses to climate change affected communities cannot be considered complete unless women-specific responses are interwoven in a variety of ada...

Because vulnerability is a conceptual construct rather than a directly observable phenomenon, most vulnerability assessments measure a set of “vulnerability indicators”. In order to identify the core approaches and range of variation in the field, we conducted a systematic literature review on lo...

This report is intended to complement the 2011 CCAFS publication “State of Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Efforts for Agriculture in Ghana” (Domozoro 2011). It provides relevant updates regarding the policies, projects, or initiatives introduced therein, and an assessment of the evolvin...

Le Mali est un pays sahélien à vocation agro-sylvo-pastorale dont l’économie repose essentiellement sur l’agriculture, un secteur toutefois tributaire de la variabilité et du changement climatique. En effet, le changement et la variabilité climatiques affectent l’agriculture, tout comme l’agricul...

D’après le 4ème rapport IPCC, 2007, les scénarii futurs du changement climatique pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest indiquent que la variabilité climatique actuellement vécue risque d’augmenter et de s’intensifier. Les impacts du changement climatique sur la sécurité alimentaire constituent une que...

The impacts of climate change on food security are a thorny issue, especially in countries with marginal and volatile weather conditions. Burkina Faso is one of those countries where agriculture, mainly rain- fed type, is highly dependent on agro-climatic parameters such as rainfall, temperature,...

Agricultural production systems in East Africa are mainly rain-fed and highly vulnerable to climate change and variability. Moreover, the smallholder subsistence production base increases the vulnerability of the agricultural sector in East Africa to climate risks. The frequency and severity of c...

The contemporary concern about anthropogenic release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the environment and the contribution of livestock to this phenomenon have sparked animal scientists’ interest in predicting methane (CH4) emissions by ruminants. Focusing on milk production, we address six basic nut...

Climate change is a major development challenge to Ethiopia. Climate change is expected to adversely affect all economic sectors, eco-regions, and social groups. Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors as it is highly dependent on rainfall. This report synthesises four case studies focu...
