Assess whole-farm trade-offs and synergies for climate-smart agriculture
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/89095
Abstract
Research shows that climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is beneficial in increasing productivity, promoting resilience and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Achieving benefits in all three dimensions is difficult, and so necessary choices among competing investments and objectives must be made.
The complex nature of agricultural systems implies that…

Target the pathways to scale out climate-smart agricultural technologies to farming communities
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/89098
Abstract
The process of getting climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions and practices to farmers is just as important as the interventions and practices.
Given the complex systems in which CSA is implemented and the various CSA practices and technologies, there is no one-size-fits-all scaling pathway – so far
Best-fit climate-…

Agricultural ecosystems and their services: the vanguard of sustainability?
Abstract
Sustainable Development Goals offer an opportunity to improve human well-being while conserving natural resources. Ecosystem services highlight human well-being benefits ecosystems, including agricultural ecosystems, provides. Whereas agricultural systems produce the majority of our food, they drive significant environmental degradation. This tension between development and environmental conservation objectives is not an immutable outcome as agricultural systems are…

Invest in climate-smart soil and land health
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/89091
Abstract
Better soil health can increase agricultural productivity. Restoration activities can build on-farm resilience and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Land and soil health surveys can improve crop modeling predictions under various climate scenarios and guide more targeted interventions.
Currently, most assessments of land and soil health do not consider…

Strengthening the gender lens in agricultural production and value-chain research in Vietnam
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/79403
Abstract
Farming systems in Vietnam are undergoing rapid change, including increased levels of commercialisation and market integration, adoption of (or desire for) labour efficient technologies, and migration of youth in response to non-farm work opportunities. These processes are not only shaping rural landscapes and communities, but…

Managing interference in a sweet corn-white clover living mulch system
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/72279
Abstract
Living mulches are vegetative covers that can be grown in association with row crops to reduce soil erosion, improve trafficability, and suppress weeds. Interference by the living mulch can reduce yields of an associated crop. The interference between a white clover (Trifolium repens L. "New Zealand") living mulch and sweet corn (Zea mays…
