The vulnerability of Africa’s agriculture to climate change is complex. It is shaped by biophysical, economic, socio-cultural, geographical, ecological, institutional, technological and governance processes that interact in intricate ways, and can together reduce farmers’ adaptive capacity. Women...

Evidence of Impact: Climate-Smart Agriculture in Africa
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...

This paper presents the initial data analyses of the CCAFS gender survey implemented in four sites in Africa. Using descriptive statistics we show gender differences in terms of perceptions of climate change, awareness and adoption of climate smart agricultural (CSA) practices, and types and sour...
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...

An Overview of Dairy Cattle Models for Predicting Milk Production: Their Evolution, Evaluation, and Application for the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) for Livestock.
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...

Agricultural Adaptation and Institutional Responses to Climate Change Vulnerability in Ethiopia
Mali is an agro-forestry-pastoral Sahel country whose economy is based mainly on agriculture,
a sector which nevertheless depends on climate variability and change. Indeed, climate change
and variability affect agriculture, while agriculture and natural resources management also affect
the climat...

This paper explores whether crop genetic engineering can contribute to addressing food security, as well as enhancing human nutrition and farming under a changing climate. The review is based on peer-refereed literature, using results to determine the potential of this gene technology. It also pr...

Improving food security needs appropriate climate related risk management strategies. These
include using climate information to guide farm level decision-making. Progress has been made
in providing climate services in Tanzania but there are significant gaps with regard to downscaled
location spe...
