Beyond soil health and input reduction
The agroecological transformation in the agri-food system – through thirteen foundational principles – focuses on implementing agricultural practices that enhance ecological balance, reduce dependence on external inputs, and prioritize social equity and participatory governance. The study examines 448 studies in the academic literature on agroecology in India (1980–2024) using two complementary Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, a mach…
Mapping climate vulnerability to support climate adaptation in maize farming systems in Kenya
A systematic knowledge of climate vulnerability distribution within a country is important to design informed climate change adaptation planning which will contribute to food security. We used a vulnerability index for maize farming-related hazards, which combines both biophysical and socio-economic factors for Kenya at a disaggregated level. These factors include: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity (capacity of a system to adapt to sho…
Do the Ends Represent the Means? Assessing Adaptive Capacity Determinants against Proactive and Reactive Adaptive Actions in Vietnam’s Coffee Growing Region
With the introduction of the Global Goal on Adaptation in the Paris Agreement and the mandate to track progress under it, there is an increased demand to assess adaptive capacity to climate and weather risk. In this analysis, we explore how determinants of adaptive capacity relate to proactive and reactive adaptive behaviors. Using a household panel survey in a coffee growing smallholder system in Vietnam, we empirically evaluate three types of a…
Dichotomy or continuum? A global review of the interaction between autonomous and planned adaptations
Adaptation to climate change is often conceptualized as a dichotomy, with responses being either planned (formal and structured) or autonomous (organic and self-organized, often known as “everyday adaptation”). Recent literature on adaptation responses has highlighted the existence and importance of the interplay between autonomous and planned adaptation, but examination of this interaction has been limited to date. We use a global database of 16…
Current and future adaptation potential of heat-tolerant maize in Cameroon
Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to be exposed to substantial climate change hazards, especially in its agricultural sector, so adaptation will be necessary to safeguard crop yields. Tropical and subtropical maize production regions approach critical temperature thresholds in the growing season already in today’s climate, and climate change might already be contributing to this. In this study we analyse the impact of anthropogenic climate change o…
The need for evidence-based climate risk and adaptation assessments
The need for evidence-based climate risk and adaptation assessments: lessons learned from the AGRICA project, Murken, Lisa, Tomalka, Julia, Abigaba, David, Amoah, Antwi-Bosiako, Amougou, Joseph Armathé, Anaba, Muriel, Arumugam, Ponraj, Awori, Eres, Léa Baek, Hye-Rin, Below, Till, Cartsburg, Matti, Chemura, Abel, Cronauer, Carla, Didovets, Iulii, Gizaw, Adefires Worku, Gleixner, Stephanie, Gloy, Nele, Grams, Enrico, Habtemariam, Lemlem, Hampf, Ann…
Is this land for sale? The effects of drought on land ownership in Uganda
This study examines the impact of drought on the land ownership rights of smallholder farmers in Uganda. Three waves of the Uganda National Panel Survey are combined with an indicator for drought, the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index. Using a household fixed effects approach, we exploit spatial and temporal variation in drought conditions to identify its effect on households' self-reported willingness to acquire land ownership …
Improving the design of climate insurance
Extreme weather conditions in the face of due to climate change often disproportionately affects the weakest members of society. Agricultural insurance programs that are specifically designed specifically for smallholders in developing countries are valuable tools that can help farmers to cope with the resulting risks. A broad range of methods including household surveys, experimental games, and agent-based models have been used to assess and imp…
Is migration an effective adaptation to climate-related agricultural distress in sub-Saharan Africa
Migration is often considered a form of climate change adaptation by which individuals, households, and communities seek to reduce the risks associated with climate change. In this study, we examine first-time seasonal migration out of a village in North-Western Burkina Faso to neighbouring countries, triggered by more irregular rainfall patterns. Through a set of 52 qualitative interviews, we analyse the perceptions of migrants themselves as wel…
Dynamic vulnerability of smallholder agricultural systems in the face of climate change for Ethiopia
Assessing vulnerability to climate change and extremes is the first step towards guiding climate change adaptation. It provides the basis to decide ‘what’ adaptation measures are needed ‘where’. Vulnerability which is defined as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, differs spatially and evolves temporally. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the dynamics of vulnerability at sub-national scales to be prepared for and r…
