India is the first nation to introduce such a plan to mitigate climate change and increase the resilience of smallholder farmers.In Ethiopia and Mexico, where cattle production systems are more common, livestock-related measures dominate and could collectively mitigate up to 25 percent ...
aims for three objectives: (1) to sustainably increase agricultural productivity to support equitable increases in farm incomes, food security and development; (2) to adapt and build resilience to climate change at multiple levels; and (3) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. This...
Little is known about the impact of ENSO-related drought on crop yields and food security, especially at the household level. This paper seeks to contribute to closing this knowledge gap with a case study from Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Its main objective is to measure household resilience ...
It is widely held by climate scientists that today’s largest drivers of climate change—and in particular of global warming—are human activities. The most impactful of these activities is the burning of fossil fuels, namely coal, natural gas and oil. Fossil fuel combustion generatesgreenhouse ga...
