Loon, M.P. vanDeng, N.Grassini, P.Edreira, J.I.R.Woldemeskel, EndalkachewBaijukya, Frederick P.Marrou, H.Ittersum, Martin K. van[Prospect for increasing grain legume crop production in East Africa]Prospect for increasing grain legume crop production in East Africa

Climate-smart Agriculture (CSA) represents a commonly accepted term in referring to intended changes in agriculture production addressing climate change. Although specific definitions may vary, CSA is typically conceived as having three pillars, namely Adaptation, Food Security and Mitigation. Th...

Climate change (CC) is an urgent and highly relevant topic that must be integrated into the school curriculum. Literature on CC integration, however, is scarce, let alone literature on integrating climate-smart rice agriculture (CSRA). Bringing CSRA lessons into the classroom means the chance is ...


Manalo, Jaime A.Balmeo, Katherine P.Berto, Jayson C.Saludez, Friedierick M.Villaflor, Jennifer D.Pagdanganan, Argie M.[Integrating climate-smart rice agriculture into secondary-level curriculum: lessons from three high schools in the Philippines]Integrating climate-smart rice agriculture into secondary-level curriculum: lessons from three high schools in the Philippines

We investigated the effect of increased temperatures of water and soil, together with the incorporation of rice straw, on emissions of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), and the daily variation in CH4 emissions. Three temperature treatments (floodwater temperature), ambient, ambient +2°C and ...

Several studies have recognized that the agriculture sector is one of the major contributor to climate change, as well as largely affected adversely by climate change. Agricultural productivity is known to be sensitive to climate change induced effects and it has impact on livelihood of families ...

This paper is about the information-seeking and information-sharing behavior on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) of high school students who participated in the Infomediary Campaign in 2014. This seeks to answer five research questions: (1) What are the indicators that searching and sharing of inf...

Fungal diseases are major threats to the most important crops upon which humanity depends. Were there to be a major epidemic that severely reduced yields, its effects would spread throughout the globalized food system. To explore these ramifications, we use a partial equilibrium economic model of...

High-yielding rice varieties (HYV) show strong compensation among sequentially developed yield components (YC). This phenotypic plasticity has adaptive value but for crop improvement, more information is needed on its effects on yield. SAMARA, a deterministic crop model predicting trait-trait and...

Climate change is likely to lead to increased water scarcity in the coming decades and to changes in patterns of precipitation. The result will be more short-term crop failures and long-term production declines. Improved soil management is key to climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. ...

The scale, rate, and intensity of humans’ environmental impact has engendered broad discussion about how to find plausible pathways of development that hold the most promise for fostering a better future in the Anthropocene. However, the dominance of dystopian visions of irreversible environmenta...
