Agriculture-charcoal interactions as determinants of deforestation rates: Implications for REDD+ design in Zambia.

Diversification, climate risk and vulnerability to poverty in rural Malawi

Diversification, climate risk and vulnerability to poverty in rural Malawi

Climate variability, associated with farm-income variability, is recognized as one of the main drivers of livelihood diversification strategies in developing countries. Analysing determinants of livelihood diversification choices, to better understand household strategic behaviour in the event of climatic risks and other shocks, is important for the formulation of development policies in developing countries highly dependent on rain-fed agriculture, like Malawi.

Climate change mitigation and smallholder agriculture in Zambia

Smallholder productivity under climatic variability: Adoption and impact of widely promoted agricultural practices in Tanzania.

Food security impact of agricultural technology adoption under climate change: Micro‐evidence from Niger

This paper explores the impact of climate risk on the adoption of risk decreasing practices and other input choices and evaluates their impact on subjective and objective measures of household welfare (namely net crop income and a food insecurity indicator). The analysis is conducted primarily using a novel data set that combines data from the largescale and representative Ethiopia Socioeconomic Survey (ERSS), 2011/12 with historical climate and biophysical data. 

This paper analyzes how a set of widely promoted agricultural practices affect crop yields and their resilience in Zambia using panel data from the Rural Incomes and Livelihoods Surveys (RILS). It provides important insights into the interplay between food security outcomes and climatic variables, and provides policy implications for targeted interventions to improve the productivity and the resilience of smallholder agriculture in Zambia in the face of climate change.
