When the cornfield dries up, love dries up too: Climate, gender and migration in Guatemala
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/180142
Abstract
This carousel tells the story of how climate change, gender inequality, and migration intersect in rural Guatemala, and why migration decisions are rarely just about climate alone. Drawing on research across four communities, it shows how repeated droughts, erratic rainfall, and rising temperatures have damaged maize and coffee harvests, deepening poverty and debt. For some families, migration…

Climate Security Pathway Analysis: Senegal
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/127868
Abstract
Rising temperatures, increasing rainfall variability and ocean acidification are reducing crop yields, livestock productivity and fish stocks with detrimental effects over livelihoods and food security (as illustrated in the pathways). The Sahelian drought of the 1970s and 1980s proved to have a devastating impact, particularly for rural communities who witnessed the loss of land, the reduced availability of water resources, crop losses, livestock…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110693
Abstract
To elucidate how, and under what conditions, increased access and use of high-quality seed translates into nutrition security among smallholder farmers, four theoretical pathways from seeds to nutrition were envisioned: the nutrient-dense seed pathway, the seed diversity pathway, the seed value chain pathway, and the seed security and resilience pathway. Across the four pathways…
