Documentation and monitoring agricultural biodiversity for adaptation to climate change
In this paper we focus on the issue of how climate change affects the way that agricultural systems
and the people that manage and govern them need to change in the next 20 years in order to
achieve food security, and how FAO and CGIAR can support that change. We build on a huge body
of lit...

How does climate change alter agricultural strategies to support food security? Background paper for the conference "Food Security Futures: Research Priorities for the 21st Century" held in Dublin, Ireland, 11-12 April 2013
Findings from the field point to a decline in diversity of local varieties in many countries. Future impacts of climate change are expected to become more pronounced in many parts of the world forcing farmers to change their practices and find crops and varieties better adapted to ne...

Seeds of resilience: novel strategies for using crop diversity in climate change adaptation
The Soil Conservation Service Runoff equation was developed and tested for the temperate climate in the United States. Application to the monsoon climates has been only partially successful. The objective to adapt the SCS equation to a monsoon climate equation is to predict watershed runoff. The ...
