In a climate change scenario, a team of researchers and scholars from SUA, UCPH, IRRI, TARI, and KALRO are working to ensure East and Southern Africa’s food security through spatiotemporal mapping, identifying eligible rice lines, and developing climate-smart rice varieties. “Raining and flooding are not common during this time of the year.”, Dr. Susan Nchimbi Msolla, Professor in Plant Breeding
In a region aced with droughts, land degradation, and irregular rainfall, the TARSPro project has established Climate-Smart Villages (CSV) in five West African countries—Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Chad. These villages serve as collaborative hubs where farmers, researchers, and local institutions work together to test, adapt, and scale up climate-smart agricultural practices. Through a participatory approach, the project enhances
Mechanized DSR offers multiple benefits that enable early rice harvesting, timely sowing of seeds, and higher yields of succeeding crops such as wheat, chickpea, and mustard.

These climate-smart technologies play a crucial role
The Ghana cluster of the AICCRA (Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa) project recently hosted a workshop to unlock the potential for inclusive, climate-smart innovations and finance for healthier crops, environment, and humans. Discussions highlighted the challenges Ghanaian farmers face in agriculture concerning the climate and proposed climate-smart solutions to improve farmers’ livelihoods in Ghana and other African
A new learning agenda can point out learning gaps and set research priorities for organizations working to ensure that women benefit equally from climate-smart agriculture. Climate change impacts every aspect of agriculture and food systems, from production to consumption, affecting the lives and livelihoods of women and men in myriad ways. The impacts are not ‘gender neutral,’ but are
The launch brought together a diverse group of stakeholders from the National Climate-Smart Agriculture forum and other pertinent stakeholders such as policymakers, researchers, development partners, private businesses, NGOs and civil society organizations. The primary objective of the workshop was to launch the Ethiopia CSAIP and highlight the crucial role of the national Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) forum in driving its implementation.
