Abstract
Agtrials.org is an information portal developed by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) which provides access to a database on the performance of agricultural technologies at sites across the developing world. It builds on decades of evaluation trials, mostly of varieties, but includes any agricultural technology for developing world farmers. This project will standardize data and information to the benefit of climate change analyses,…

CIAT SOC APP
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/77773
Abstract
There has been quite some debate about the scope for mitigating climate change by soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, it seems there is a general lack of understanding of quantities and the time-dimension, as well as the possible contribution that SOC sequestration can play. This web application provides a platform where users can visualize the organic carbon content of a soil of their choice, as well as the quantitative impact of soil conserving management…

Crop Wild Relatives global atlas
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/49629
Abstract
This atlas provides information on distributions and collecting priorities for the wild relatives of important crops. The application presents occurrence data points, potential distribution maps, and maps displaying areas identified as of priority for collecting for conservation and use. The maps can be explored per CWR taxon, as a summary per crop gene pool, or as a summary of all CWR in all assessed crop gene pools. See the "Related video" link…

The climate-smart agriculture implementer
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/68695
Abstract
The rapid pace of climate change, and its impact on global food security, means a greater sense of urgency needs to be applied to putting adaption and mitigation measures in place. • Scientific experts and farmers in Asia face a communication gap which prevents the sustainable scaling out and adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies and practices. • The CSA Implementer is a mobile phone application which uses crowdsourcing to bridge the…

The 5Q approach
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/68693
Abstract
Reducing hunger and poverty requires effective strategies but many traditional monitoring and evaluation methods are costly, complicated, rigid, slow, and do not include the opinions of the project beneficiaries. The 5Q approach is simple, adaptable, responsive, effective, and better integrates stakeholders. Project beneficiaries can proactively participate in programs for greater livelihood, health, and environmental gains. Developed in cooperation with CIAT. The 5Q…

Climate Analogues
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/68627
Abstract
The Climate Analogues approach, developed by CCAFS in R programming, is a novel way of supporting climate and crop models with on-the-ground empirical testing. In essence, the analogues tool connects sites with statistically similar (‘analogous’) climates, across space (i.e. between locations) and/or time (i.e. with past or future climates). A CCAFS dissimilarity index is used to systematically identify climate analogues across the world, for certain regions, or among…

Abstract
This Best Bets Compendium identifies and explains in detail practices, methods, technologies or initiatives that have the potential to maintain or increase the organic matter and fertility of soils. We, first of all, provide a very brief overview of each best bet, including its geographical cover and agro-ecosystem. The best bet is then evaluated against its associated Resource Requirements, Tradeoffs, Effectiveness, Risks, Framework conditions, Attractiveness and…
