Agriculture has been a fundamental pillar in the development of human societies, economies, and cultural practices for thousands of years. Yet, the reliability and efficiency of these agricultural systems are currently at risk due to the intricate and extensive effects of climate change. Factors like...
Livestock production is very risky due to climate variability in semi-arid Sub-Saharan Africa. Using data collected from 400 households in the Borena zone of the Oromia Region, we explored what drives adoption of agricultural practices that can decrease the vulnerability of agro-pastoralists to clima...
No-till agriculture is generally considered good for soils, and probably also beneficial in relation to climate change adaptation. However, this Perspective argues that the potential for climate change mitigation through soil carbon sequestration that is
Climate Smart Agriculture provides a platform for communicating advances in fundamental and applied research on agriculture in relation to climate change. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, short communications, perspectives and comments, with an emphasis on, but not limited to the...
Climate change is altering the timing and magnitude of snowmelt, which may either directly or indirectly via global trade affect agriculture and livelihoods dependent on snowmelt. Here, we integrate subannual irrigation and snowmelt dynamics and a model of international trade to assess the global re...
China, since mid-2010 the world's second biggest economy and tipped to become the biggest in a few decades, has tremendous climatic and ecological diversity. The likely impact of China's economic expansion on the global climate has been extensively studi

In addition to livestock, rice cultivation is another source of CH4, and the emission may increase with the projected climate change [26]. Persistent growth of CO2 emission may have strong implication for reaching climate targets [27]. Fires and biomass burning have local [28] and regional ...
