The Climate Security Sensitiveness Tool (CSST) - East Africa template
The CSST is a programming assessment tool for conflict-sensitive and peace-responsive climate action, which can be used at the designing phase of a program.
Embedding circularity into the transition towards sustainable agroforestry systems in Peru
Peru is promoting the adoption of agroforestry systems with the aim to halt the deforestation of tropical forests caused by smallholder farmers. However, deficient soil conservation practices and nutrient management are common among the targeted smallholders, hampering the success of this strategy. In this study, we explore the potential of valorizing municipal biowaste as compost to be used as soil amendment in coffee agroforestry systems and in silvopastoral systems. The analysis was concentrated in four Peruvian regions and the most populous city in each of them.

Women in Agriculture: Accelerating Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa
The objective of this workshop was to deep dive into a collaborative approach to identifying potential solutions, consider the role of key ecosystem stakeholders including the banks, policy makers and IITA/AICCRA and prioritise wish list items for potential action. The conclusions reached provide a framing and context for next steps of stakeholder engagement in the third and final workshop for this phase of work.
Context Assessment for Agroecology Transformation in the Tunisian Living Landscape
The purpose of this Context Assessment is threefold: first, to characterize the environmental, social and economic and political contexts of the Tunisian ALL; second, to understand the data and information currently available in sub-region of the ALL, and third to characterize the extent to which agroecological principles are already being employed locally at the ALL levels. This report constitutes a basis of information and discussion to conduct the impact assessment.
Sixty years of irrigated wheat yield increase in the Yaqui Valley of Mexico: Past drivers, prospects and sustainability
Continued global wheat yield increase (about 1.3% p.a. for 2000–2019) remains an essential condition for greater world food security. Relevant to this challenge is the rise in average farm yield (FY) of irrigated spring wheat in the Yaqui Valley of northwest Mexico from 2 to 7 t/ha between 1960 and 2019.
Effects of adopting improved forages on poverty alleviation in cattle systems: Evidence from Colombia
Cattle play an important role in rural livelihoods and the economies of developing countries, especially regarding food and nutrition security and producer welfare. Cattle support poverty alleviation by building resilience and strengthening the livelihoods of large numbers of rural people: over half a billion poor farmers depend on cattle globally.
Guidelines to the agroecology-I context document
The purpose of the Context Document is threefold: first, to characterize the environmental, social and economic context of each Agroecological Living Lab (ALL); second, to understand the data and information currently available in each ALL; and third to characterize how and the extent to which agroecological principles are already being employed in each ALL. The Context Document is not meant to be a quantitative baseline or an exhaustive report, but rather a broad overview of the situation in each ALL.
