Climate services for agriculture (agrometeorological services) are only possible through collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts.
Groundwater resources and irrigation systems are a fundamental consideration for sustainable and inclusive food system transitions in South Asia. Over the course of the latter part of the 20th century and the early 21st century, groundwater has become the primary source of irrigation water across South Asia and globally.
The presentation discussed the various steps in Climate-Smart Mapping and Adaptation Planning (CS-MAP), such as: defining climate-risks and agriculture products, mapping climate-risks, proposing adaptation plans, revising climate-smart maps and adaptation plans, and map integration at province level.
Among smallholder maize farmers in Ethiopia (and similar areas in Africa), yield and stress tolerance traits in maize varieties are important. While high yields remain a major objective, breeding and seed system development programs are increasingly based on the recognition that farmers also have an interest in other agronomic and consumption traits.
This study attempts to identify the spatial-temporal extent of the agricultural drought in Zambia using remote sensing data and crop production. IDSI is superior in terms of its performance and drought detection capability and is characterized by better representation of drought severity.
In this methodological note, we propose a quantitative framework to develop a Climate and Security Index (CSI), for measuring and monitoring climate security vulnerability.
This study evaluates the context within the targeted areas in the Horn of Africa, and summarises common investments in these countries in relation to climate adaptation and climate security based on a review of Nationally Determined Contributions.
Southern Africa is highly drought-prone, and its agricultural and hydrological systems are vulnerable. Climate forecasts provide tools for decision-making and adaptation to climate extreme events. This report presents the preliminary results regarding the development of seasonal drought forecasts for the Limpopo River basin.
The Resilient Aquatic Food Systems Initiatives (RAqFS) focuses on research-for development
This document summarizes the highlights of a field visit by a delegation from the World Bank and AICCRA project partners to Méouane, Senegal, in conjunction with the AICCRA Senegal mid-term review.
Effective interfaces of knowledge and policy are critical for food system transformation. Here, an expert group assembled to explore research needs towards a safe and just food system put forward principles to guide relations between society, science, knowledge, policy and politics.
