Climate change is a major constraint to the progress of Africa’s agriculture, food, and nutrition security; its effect tied geographical position driven by limited adaptive capacity agricultural households. The most vulnerable stakeholder group are smallholder farming households with resources knowledge adaptation mitigation techniques. Sub-Saharan Africa owns more than 60% world’s arable land over 85% farmers being farmers, who predisposed various risks. This paper analyzes adoption climate-smart agriculture (CSA) processes technologies in Africa. study used mixed methods an integrative literature review. review indicated that CSA increasing and, thus, concerted efforts continuously generate technology would contribute desired positive outcome. To accelerate pace use technologies, linkage researchers, extension practitioners needed. Measures should also be put place ensure actions implemented using bottom-up approaches.

Despite increased commitment to co-production as a route developing decision-relevant climate services, there has been less focus on the metrics or criteria for determining their success and impact. Drawing from literature recent experiences both operational- research-focused resilience-building initiatives in Africa, we propose framework consider various approaches monitoring evaluating process outcomes of investments services co-production, so that scientific excellence can be monitored alongside development This combines principles- process-based track changes amongst parties involved co-producing services. The application this raises fundamental questions regarding measuring impact principles – including inclusivity, diversity ensuring value all partners which these are based. its contribute emerging field evaluation will use improving robustness going forwards.

Our food systems have performed well in the past, but they are failing us face of climate change and other challenges. This book tells story why system transformation is needed, how it can be achieved research a catalyst for change. Written by global interdisciplinary team researchers, brings together perspectives from multiple areas including climate, environment, agriculture, social sciences to describe different tools approaches used tackle transformation. It provides practical, actionable insights policymakers advisors, demonstrating science with strong partnerships enable real on ground. also contributes academic debate systems, so will an invaluable reference researchers students alike. title available as Open Access Cambridge Core.
