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…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130728
Abstract
The Call for Applications resulted in a total of 849 applicants, out of which 288 met the high-quality standards for prequalification. The accelerator program successfully attracted women-led or co-led agribusinesses, with 69% of applicants featuring at least one woman in the founding team. The majority of applicants (72%) indicated that they were targeting smallholder farmers in their business model, and 52% claimed to have a digital innovation,…

Building stronger networks for sustainable climate services in West Africa
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/178302
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…

Exploring Women’s Differentiated Access to Climate-Smart Agricultural Interventions in Selected Climate-Smart Villages of Latin America
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115291
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…

Opinion: Can governance reforms like Brazil’s get us to net-zero?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/126003
Abstract
Can governance reforms like Brazil’s get us to net-zero? One narrative present among climate change discussions is that reducing agricultural greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions would compromise food security and the availability of food in the global south. We agree that reducing GHG emissions comes with trade-offs, but this does not mean we should abandon efforts toward climate change mitigation in agriculture and forestry,…

From vulnerability to agency in climate adaptation and mitigation

Abstract
Rising temperatures and more extreme weather associated with climate change are expected to exacerbate existing social and gender inequalities across the globe (Adger et al. 2014 , Dankelman 2010). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projects that the production of major crops such as wheat, rice, and maize will be affected across all regions and that climate change will progressively increase variability in…
