Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

2024

This topic portal addresses the increasing challenge of global warming and declining food security on agricultural practices, policies, and measures. This Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) is the product of a strategic collaboration between CGIAR (formerly the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research) and Future Earth. Led by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture, CCAFS is a collaboration among all 15 CGIAR research centers and brings together researchers in the agricultural, climate, environmental, and social sciences to identify and address the most important interactions, synergies, and trade-offs between climate change and agriculture. Research flagship areas include: climate-smart agricultural practices, climate risk management, low emissions agriculture, gender and social inclusion, and policies and institutions. Work spans the following regions: East Africa, West Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. Publications include working papers, case studies, and briefs. Tools offered include models, maps and data.

CGIAR is a global agriculture research partnership for a food-secure future. Its science is carried out by the 15 research centers who are members of the CGIAR in collaboration with hundreds of partner organizations.
