What discrepancies between farmer perceptions and observational data teach us about smallholder decision making
Increasing crop rotation diversity with cover crops builds climate resilience on farms
Farms in the US Midwest are experiencing disruptive heavy rainfall during the spring planting window and more intense droughts during the summer growing season. Recent analyses of field experiments suggest that increasing crop rotational complexity (RC) builds resilience to climate change, especially when rotations include overwintering cover crops that assimilate and retain nutrients and increase organic matter inputs to soil. However, evidence …
The role of rural circular migration in shaping weather risk management for smallholder farmers in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh
Radical interventions for climate-impacted systems
Research priorities for global food security under extreme events
Extreme events, such as those caused by climate change, economic or geopolitical shocks, and pest or disease epidemics, threaten global food security. The complexity of causation, as well as the myriad ways that an event, or a sequence of events, creates cascading and systemic impacts, poses significant challenges to food systems research and policy alike. To identify priority food security risks and research opportunities, we asked experts from …
From environmental governance to governance for sustainability
Impacts of large-scale land acquisitions on smallholder agriculture and livelihoods in Tanzania
Improving agricultural productivity is a foundational sustainability challenge in the 21st century. Large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) have important effects on both well-being and the environment in the Global South. Their impacts on agricultural productivity and subsequent effects on farm incomes, food-security and the distribution of these outcomes across households remain under-investigated. In particular, prior studies do not sufficiently…
The impact of groundwater depletion on agricultural production in India
India relies on groundwater irrigation to produce staple grain crops that provide over half of the calories consumed by its over 1.3 billion people. While groundwater has helped India achieve grain self-sufficiency, aquifers have been overexploited across much of the country and its implications for crop production are unclear. To understand how groundwater depletion affects staple grain (wheat, rice, maize, pearl millet, and sorghum) production …

Factors Constraining Timely Sowing of Wheat as an Adaptation to Climate Change in Eastern India
Climate change is predicted to negatively impact wheat yields across northern India, primarily as a result of increased heat stress during grain filling at the end of the growing season. One way that farmers may adapt is by sowing their wheat earlier to avoid this terminal heat stress. However, many farmers in the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) sow their wheat later than is optimal, likely leading to yield reductions. There is limited documen…

The impact of agricultural interventions can be doubled by using satellite data
Using satellite data to identify the causes of and potential solutions for yield gaps in India’s Wheat Belt
Food security will be increasingly challenged by climate change, natural resource degradation, and population growth. Wheat yields, in particular, have already stagnated in many regions and will be further affected by warming temperatures. Despite these challenges, wheat yields can be increased by improving management practices in regions with existing yield gaps. To identify the magnitude and causes of current yield gaps in India, one of the lar…

Understanding the causes and consequences of differential decision-making in adaptation research
Researching farmer behaviour in climate change adaptation and sustainable agriculture
Smallholder farmer cropping decisions related to climate variability across multiple regions
A long history of household-level research has provided important local-level insights into climate adaptation strategies in the agricultural sector. It remains unclear to what extent these strategies are generalizable or vary across regions. In this study we ask about three potential key factors influencing farming households’ ability to adapt: access to weather information, household and agricultural production-related assets, and participation…
