Central American countries, particularly Guatemala, are experiencing extreme climate events which disproportionately affecting agriculture and subsequently rural livelihoods. Governments taking action to address climatic threats, but they need tools assess the impact of policies interventions aiming decrease impacts change on agriculture. This research, conducted with national policy makers stakeholders in provides a comparative analysis eight climate-smart (CSA) practices technologies...
Livestock production is a pivotal source of income and agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Mexico Peru. Several management technological options, with enteric methane mitigation potential, have been evaluated their scaling anticipated to contribute towards achieving GHG emission reduction targets. Yet, widespread adoption promising options remains limited, raising questions as whether envisaged targets are achievable. Using locally...
Agriculture is highly sensitive to variations in both weather and climate. Farmers face uncertainty the patterns over short term, climate longer term. The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Food Security (CCAFS) has promoted a system of Local Technical Agro-Climatic Committees (LTACs)4 two Colombian regions explore means creating dialogue between researchers farmers that would provide with options short- longer-term article uses case study approach describe how original LTACs were...
The literature is increasing on how to prioritize climate-smart options with stakeholders but relatively few examples exist co-design farming systems them, in particular smallholder farmers. This article presents a methodological framework local (farmers, scientists, NGOs) so that large-scale change can be achieved. based the lessons learned during research project conducted Honduras and Colombia from 2015 2017.

Agrifood systems are facing significant challenges, science and innovation key to shift the trajectory towards ensuring sustainability resilience. Thus, scaling assumes a critical role in agricultural research for development (AR4D). Scaling consists of continuous process which innovations tailored, used, embedded into societal dynamics adapted various contexts, aiming create widespread positive impacts. This systematic literature review explores within context AR4D, with particular focus on...
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has the potential to help farmers implement both adaptation and mitigation practices. The aspect of CSA is often not considered by due a high discount rate and, as such, usually priority concern. This review article offers perspective on this issue highlights two key gaps in literature: (i) understanding factors related uptake practices with co-benefits for (ii) role social networks better enable rapid, widespread implementation CSA, latter being critical...
A decline in pasture productivity is often associated with a reduction vegetative cover. We hypothesize that nitrogen (N) urine deposited by grazing cattle on degraded pastures, low cover, highly susceptible to losses. Here, we quantified the magnitude of urine-based nitrous oxide (N2O) lost from soil under paired (low cover) and non-degraded (adequate pastures across five countries Latin America Caribbean (LAC) region estimated urine-N emission factors. Soil N2O emissions simulated patches...
Agricultural producers grapple with low farm yields and declining ecosystem services within their landscapes. In several instances, agricultural production systems may be considered largely unsustainable in socioeconomic ecological (resource conservation use impact on nature) terms. Novel technological management options that can serve as vehicles to promote the provision of multiple benefits, including improvement smallholder livelihoods, are needed. We call for a paradigm shift allow...
The main purpose of this work was analyzing how an innovation platform can foster and provide a basis for multi-actor collaboration in order to enable climate-smart agriculture (CSA) implementation at the local level. Using mix social (interactions between stakeholders, knowledge changes, adoption practices) technical indicators (income, fulfillment caloric requirements household, farm resource use, planned biodiversity or greenhouse gas emission changes), we monitored NGO, civil...
Circular food systems are increasingly acknowledged for their potential to contribute the transition towards sustainable futures. In a circular system, use of finite and limited resources is minimized, nutrients in residual streams inedible biomass humans reused as inputs bioeconomy. Livestock has become relevant this narrative upcycling contained by-products grass into nutritious without using human-edible resources. Evaluating on-going national sustainability initiatives livestock sector...
Much of the literature examining role gender in processes climate change adaptation agricultural sector has focused primarily on differences between male and female farmers, implicitly treating men women as homogenous groups. Where heterogeneity exists within these groups which impacts efforts outcomes, an understanding such intersectionalities is vital to design effective equitable policy. The objective this study investigate whether interaction effects among socio-economic factors are...
Peru is promoting the adoption of agroforestry systems with aim to halt deforestation tropical forests caused by smallholder farmers. However, deficient soil conservation practices and nutrient management are common among targeted smallholders, hampering success this strategy. In study, we explore potential valorizing municipal biowaste as compost be used amendment in coffee silvopastoral systems.

The provision of climate services (CS) has grown at an unprecedented rate over the last decade in response to climate-related risks several sectors global economy; this is especially true agriculture. Several studies document lessons learnt from (un)successful services, and attempt distil these into key principles, recommendations, or requirements. However, limited systematic analysis data on characteristics CS that are conducive success exist date, including for Here, we analyse Local...
Introduction Climate change poses a significant threat to rural livelihoods in low- and middle-income countries. Enhancing the sustainability of these is crucial for ensuring food security nutrition at both global regional levels. This study investigates role Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices improving Latin America, specifically through Village (CSV) approach. Methods Our analysis involved dataset 267 households, comprising adopters non-adopters CSA CSVs across Guatemala, Honduras,...
