Training Guide: Gender and Climate Change Research in agriculture and food security for rural development
|
|
| Both women and men play a significant role in safeguarding food security, and their respective roles and responsibilities need to be well understood to ensure that men and women benefit equally from climate-smart agriculture practices. Little research, however, has been undertaken to understand how men and women are adapting to climate change, mitigating emissions and maintaining food security.
As one of many steps toward (...) |

Adaptation to Climate-Change in Semi-Arid Environments - Experience and Lessons from Mozambique
|
|
| Southern Africa is one of the regions highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Mozambique is one of the least developing countries in the region experiencing this devastating effect on the agricultural livelihood of its rural population. Climate change will have a significant impact on the Limpopo River Basin and its tributaries which flow across the vast areas of the semi-arid plateau of the southern provinces of (...) |

Peatlands – guidance for climate change mitigation through conservation, rehabilitation and sustainable use
|
|
| Peatland drainage - mainly for agriculture, grazing and forestry - and peat fires are responsible for almost one quarter of carbon emissions from the land use sector. Peatlands and organic soils contain 30 percent of the world’s soil carbon but only cover 3 percent of the Earth’s land area. Peatlands provide many important ecosystem services, including water regulation, biodiversity conservation, and carbon sequestration and (...) |

Investment requirements in extension to achieve zero hunger and adapt to climate change
|
|
| A recent FAO survey on current investment in agriculture (FAO/IAP, 2011) in 94 countries reveals that annual investments in agricultural research and extension often lag far behind the level required to meet the Zero Hunger Objectives for most developing countries. This study reflects on a previous FAO investment report that made the general recommendation to set both research and extension investment targets in developing (...) |

Potential impacts of climate change on food security in Mali
|
|
| Food security is likely to be affected by climate change (CC) in several ways: food security depends not only on the direct impact of CC on food production, but also on its indirect impacts on human development, economic growth, trade flows, and food aid policy (Keane et al., 2009). The extent of such impact is however very uncertain, especially in regions where climate projections are ambivalent, such as in the Sahel zone in (...) |

Building resilience for adaptation to climate change in the agriculture sector Proceedings of a Joint FAO/OECD Workshop
|
|
| Globally, climactic conditions are increasingly variable, and the intensity of their effects stronger. As climate change brings new uncertainties, risks and changes to already existing risks, one of the most efficient ways for agriculture to adapt is increasing its resilience.
In April 2012, the joint FAO/OECD Workshop on "Building Resilience for Adaptation to Climate Change in the Agriculture Sector" was held to address (...) |

| The objective of this report is to catalyse
thinking about the ways in which
agriculture – which has a vital role in global
food security, development and natural
resources use – can and must be fully
integrated into national strategies and a
consensus-based multilateral framework to
address the challenges of climate change. The
report brings forth questions that will occupy
the world community over the next decade (...) |
