To scale the Climate-Smart Mapping and Adaptation Planning (CS-MAP) tool across Bangladesh’s coastal districts, an Innovation Packaging and Scaling Readiness (IPSR) workshop was held on November 25, 2024, at the BARC Auditorium in Dhaka. The workshop brought together government and non-government partners to discuss scaling strategies for the CS-MAP tool. Md. Mozdar Hosen, Director of Field Service Wing of the

Natural calamities, primarily floods, of varying intensity adversely affect the standing crop leading to poor harvests. Such untoward climatic shocks invariably hit almost all blocks of Puri District in Odisha.  The variety-based climate-smart intervention proved to be a potential response in the flood-prone rice areas. This can be replicated and scaled up in other blocks within the district as part

Dhaka, Bangladesh, 24 November 2024 – The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the Center for Environmental and Geographic Information Services (CEGIS), in collaboration, launched Climate-Smart Mapping and Adaptation Planning (CS-MAP) on November 24, 2024, at the BARC Auditorium in Farmgate, Dhaka. As part of the CGIAR Initiative on Asian Mega-Deltas, CS-MAP aims to enhance food security and climate resilience

Through decades-long Asian and global partnerships, the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is refining and spreading a suite of resource-conserving, climate-smart innovations for highly diverse maize- and wheat-based cropping systems, including more precise and efficient use of water and fertilizer, as well as conservation agriculture, which blends reduced or zero-tillage, use of crop residues or mulches as soil

India.com, in an article about Climate-Smart Village (CSV) initiative, quotes IFPRI’s 2022 Global Food Policy Report which stated that around 65 million people globally will be at risk due to climate change-induced hunger, while over 17 million people in India will face hunger by 2030, the highest among all countries. According to experts, Indian farmers will be deeply impacted by extreme weather events in the days to

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA)-based management practices are evolving as a viable and sustainable alternative to conventional rice-wheat cropping systems across south Asia for better resources conservation and yield stability. We hypothesized that CSA management scenarios (layering of different indicators/practices) could reduce weed density and composition, and diversity indices with no negative impact on wheat performance under rice/maize-based systems. Rice-wheat (RW) is

In Senegal, the future of agriculture no longer depends solely on the whims of the climate: it is now embodied in a 180-page document—the Climate-Smart Agriculture Investment Plan (CSAIP). Developed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty, and Livestock (MASAE) in collaboration with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT under the AICCRA project, the plan was politically validated in Diamniadio. Amid climate

28 February 2025, Bangkok, Thailand – Rice represents the essence of Asia’s food system, and feeds over half of the global population. In Thailand, rice cultivation accounts for about half the agricultural landscape, employing 18 million smallholder farmers. Yet, as climate change intensifies, Thailand’s staple crop faces pressures from prolonged droughts, rising temperatures, flash floods, and extreme weather events in
