Land & Climate Change

Gender-transformative change requires a commitment from everyone involved in agricultural research for development (AR4D) including organizations at international and national level, individual researchers and practitioners, farmers, development agencies, policy-makers and consumers, to transform the existing values, practices and priorities that (re)produce and perpetuate gender biases and ine

In this chapter, we propose a framework of market-based incentive mechanisms for the adoption and scaling of sustainable production standards throughout rice value chains and review evidence of two mechanisms that have been piloted in Vietnam: “internalizing” and “embodying.” The evidence suggests that sustainable production standards can be successfully “internalized” in rice value

Maize is widely used for food, animal feed, and industrial raw material in Nigeria. This paper documents the
important changes that characterize Nigeria’s maize production and area expansion along with contributing

Supporting women’s groups and their collective action is considered as one of the key ways to increase their climate resilience. Women’s groups are a means to reach women with capacity building activities, and also serve as a platform where they exercise collective and individual agency to take adaptive decisions.

The project intervention communities of The Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) in Ghana are vulnerable to climate variability and change, which continues to pose a threat to food crop production.

Using radio for extension service has the potential to reach many rural women with the needed climate information services (CIS) and climate smart agriculture (CSA) innovations. However, radio extension is not necessarily gender neutral. In this Info Note we present insights from designing and implementing a gender-smart radio extensions programme in Ghana.

The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), as part of Columbia Climate School at Columbia University organized an intensive three-week conference on subseasonal and seasonal forecasting using the updated NextGen (PyCPT2.5.5) approach at its Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory campus in Palisades, New York with staff from ICPAC and AGRHYMET, as well as the national meteoro

An operational scale, efficacy tests of the optimal dose of the bioinsecticide Bb11 (Bba5653), including observation data on useful non-targets.

The approach was used to disseminate site-specific climate-information services, agro advisories, and climate-smart agriculture technologies for AICCRA Ghana Cluster priority value chains
