By Ma. Eliza J. Villarino Why do some food systems stakeholders adopt technology, and why do some don’t? Researchers from the Alliance of Bioversity-CIAT evaluated two groups of rice farmers: one group included those that received and adopted advice from Fedearroz to improve farm management, through climate forecasts or workshops, while the other group neither received nor adopted such advice.
By Ignacio Madurga-Lopez, Leonardo Medina, and Grazia Pacillo Guatemala is among the most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change in Latin America, and it is already experiencing severe consequences, especially in the agriculture sector. In recent years, an increase in the average temperature of 0.8°C has been observed, as well as a concentration of rainfall in fewer days

The Climate, Food and Farming, Global Research Alliance Development Scholarships Programme (CLIFF-GRADS) is a joint initiative of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) and the CGIAR Research Initiative on Low-Emission Food Systems. The CLIFF-GRADS Programme builds capacity in early-career scientists from low- and middle-income countries to conduct applied research in agriculture emission quantification and mitigation. In the
This article originally appeared on the Wilson Center’s New Security Beat and is available here. When Kevin Chen began his agricultural research 20 years ago, most dairy farms in China were small and family-owned. People of his generation did not grow up with milk deliveries or ice cream. Today, however, these farms have been replaced by massive agri-businesses raising tens of
Many analyses model the impacts of climate change on various aspects of food systems. However, few of these are used to contribute directly towards solving the problems that the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals seek to address – such as ending hunger, improving food and nutrition security, and promoting sustainable agriculture. Modeling for food system transformation needs to be focused squarely
