La commune de Djilor est marquée par une tendance à la dégradation des ressources. Elles sont soumises aux effets des changements climatiques. Ainsi, l’étude de la vulnérabilité de la commune de Djilor aux changements climatiques et stratégies d’adaptation des communautés fait l’objet de cette contribution. La démarche intègre les outils d’analyse de la vulnérabilité et de la capacité d’adaptation aux changement climatique (AVCA) et d’identification des risques au niveau communautaire - adaptation et moyens d’existence (CRiSTAL).

In the Solomon Islands, more than 80% of the population are rural dwellers who commonly build
livelihoods from subsistence agriculture and fisheries. Indigenous people own more than 80% of the
land including the shorelines. Recognizing this customary land tenure, the Solomon Islands Government
has decided that Community Based Resource Management (CBRM) is the main strategy for coastal
resource management in the country (sometimes also referred to as CBFM or Community Based

This training manual provides knowledge and skills to government extension officers and lead farmers on the concept of climate smart agriculture to empower them to train farmers on appropriate technologies, innovations and management practices against climate change risks

The youth unemployment situation is an essential component of the current agricultural policy agenda of the Federal Government of Nigeria. Deep-rooted debates on finding a lasting solution to this problem using agriculture have been targeted as one of the panaceas. Using data from 207 systematically selected rice-producing households, this study employed the Propensity Score Matching method (PSM) and the Inverse Probability Weighted Regression Adjustment method (IPWRA) to examine the effect of intensive youth participation in agriculture on productivity and household revenue in Nigeria.

There is growing mobility of rural youth mainly caused by limited access to land resources and inadequacy of job opportunities. Increased population density coupled with low education rates has increased pressure on natural resources, especially land. This paper assessed the effect of land inheritance on youth migration and employment in Rwanda using the 2010/11 and 2013/14 Integrated Household Living Conditions Surveys (EICVs) data collected from 8160 households by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR).

ShiFT research involves identifying and gathering all policy documents that have a potential effect on the different components of Honduras food environment. Policies were identified in priority at the national level, but any specific sub-national policies that are relevant for our SHiFT target sites will be also included.

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.

Population growth, rapid urbanization, and dietary changes are placing tremendous pressure on food systems, particularly in developing countries. Based on current income, population and consumption trends, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that, by 2050, some 50 percent more food will be needed to satisfy the extra demand compared to 2013 (Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2012). The challenges posed by rapid growth in food demand are intensified by the effects of climate change on agricultural systems, including crops, livestock, forestry and fisheries.

The African “youth” population is growing at a fast and steady pace, attracting attention from scholars, policymakers, and politicians. Yet, we know relatively little about this large and heterogeneous segment of the population. This paper presents data from 110 interviews and ten focus groups with youth engaged in commercial agriculture across all four regions of Uganda. Capitalising on this ethnographic data, we provide an analytical framework for studying complexity among the heterogeneous social category of youth agripreneurs.

This Environment and Social Management Pan (ESMP) has been developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) to clarify (i) the measures that will be taken during the implementation of project activities to eliminate or offset adverse E&S impacts, or to reduce them to acceptable levels; and (ii) actions needed to implement these measures during the implementation of the Accelerating Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project activities in Ghana.

"Why agriculture and trade matter in GHG mitigation pathways", presented by Lini Wollenberg for the OECD - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Virtual Workshop. From "Mitigating GHG Emissions in Agriculture in an Interconnected World" on April 11-12 2022. This presentation covers the elements of a global strategy, priorities for coordinated action, IPCC, and global food systems emissions. Additional resources listed are the CCAFS AgLED website, Agrochain emissions calculator (ACE), Our World in Data, and FAO emission intensity and food systems data.
