Modeling the potential impacts of climate change and adaptation strategies on groundnut production in India
Groundnut is one of the significant sources of oil, food, and fodder in India. It is grown in marginal arid and semi-arid agro-ecosystems with wide yield fluctuations due to spatial variability of rainfall and soil.
Initial impacts & resilience of China's food systems during the pandemic and the government's responses & long-term efforts to promote resilience.
The crucial role of domestic and international market-mediated adaptation to climate change
Climate change effects on agricultural yields will be uneven over the world. A few countries, mostly in high latitudes, may experience gains, while most will see average yield decrease.
Strategic foresight for agriculture: Past ghosts, present challenges, and future opportunities
Strategic foresight is systematic means to explore plausible futures.
Sub-Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity. Investment in small-scale irrigation may provide a solution to address the challenge by extending crop production into the dry season.
Rural transformation is an inevitable and fundamental process of development.
Increasing demands for agricultural commodities are resulting in more intensely managed landscapes. This is at odds with biodiversity conservation and largely ignores farmland biodiversity’s supporting function for high and stable yields.
The unprecedented global social and economic crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic poses grave risks to the nutritional status and survival of young children in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).
