Mapping the suitability of rice and other crops in the Mekong Mega Delta
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132818
Abstract
The Mekong Delta is an important food production zone supplying rice for domestic and export markets. It is, however, highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. More frequent and more intense floods, salinization, water shortages and climate extremes are expected to affect the livelihood of farmers in the region. As part of the CGIAR’s Asian Mega-Deltas Research Initiative, we are exploring promising options…

TH3.2: Men's rural-to-urban migration in Burundi: effects on on banana farming systems by wives of migrants
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/125608
Abstract
Male out-migration triggers organizational changes in households and influences labour expectations, power relations, and agricultural practices of concerned households. It also has important influences on reshaping the family structure and transforming the traditional gender roles in rural societies. This case study draws upon a mixed-methods research design involving 29 semi-…

Synthesis of the agrifood systems’ hidden costs analysis in the six FABLE country case studies
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/159598
Abstract
This chapter summarizes the main findings about hidden costs in agrifood systems across six countries, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, India, and the United Kingdom building on the results from SOFA 2023, the FABLE Consortium, and the Food System Economic Commission (FSEC) initiative. While the fact that unhealthy diets currently trigger the biggest hidden costs in most countries was a…

Willingness to Pay for Weather-Indexed Insurance: Evidence from Cambodian Rice Farmers
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/126959
Abstract
This study examines Cambodian rice farmers’ willingness to pay for the weather-indexed insurance (WII) proposed to manage the financial impact of shifting monsoon rainfall patterns in Battambang Province in north-western Cambodia. Detailed interviews are conducted in the districts of Bavel and Thma Koul. We first analyse farmer respondents’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, climate change…

Perceived effects of COVID-19 restrictions on smallholder farmers: Evidence from seven lower- and middle-income countries
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/118056
Abstract
CONTEXT
The COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented global disruption and continues to wreak havoc. Dire predictions were made about the risks to smallholder farmers in lower- and middle- income, but hard data have been lacking. We present the results from 9201 interviews with smallholder farmers from seven countries.
OBJECTIVE
The objectives are to describe: i) how…

Cereal-legume cropping systems for enhanced productivity, food security, and resilience
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/126063
Abstract
This chapter presents four approaches to the integration of legumes (such as soyabean, groundnut, and cowpea) in maize-dominated systems, through intercropping, efficient spatial arrangements, and legume-cereal sequences: (i) grain legume-maize rotations for increased yield stability on smallholder farms, (ii) 'doubled-up' legume technology for soil fertility maintenance and human nutrition, (…

Is climate-driven migration a threat to security?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115178
Abstract
The need to understand how migration, climate and (in)security interact is becoming increasingly urgent. Climate change will continue to impact human security in the short- to medium-term, with potentially important consequences for human mobility. Over the past decade, for instance, weather-related events displaced 21.5 million people each year, more than twice as many as displacements caused by conflict and violence (UNHCR, 2021). While…

Abstract
Bundled Climate Information Services (CIS) and Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) business models in West Africa are undermined by fragmented organizational networks, despite their potential to enhance agricultural resilience. A study analyzing organizations in Ghana, Mali, and Burkina Faso reveals three distinct but flawed national profiles. Ghana's network is strong and privately-sector led but critically lacks…

Child malnutrition is a sign of conflict to come: Nigerian study links climate change, food and violence
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/176898
Abstract
The pathway from climate change to violent conflict is not simple. There are the obvious immediate effects of global warming like water scarcity and crop failure. But beyond these, climate stress can pave the road to violence through indirect channels – a gradual rise in food insecurity and growing social tensions that set the stage for more armed violence.
We are a team of researchers…

Abstract
Much of the literature examining the role of gender in processes of climate change adaptation in the agricultural sector has focused primarily on differences between male and female farmers, implicitly treating men and women as homogenous groups. Where heterogeneity exists within these groups which impacts climate change adaptation efforts and outcomes, an…
