Climate change, especially the variability of rainfall patterns, poses a threat to maize production in Ghana. Some farmers harvest rainwater and store it for maize production to cope with unpredicted rainfall patterns. However, there are only a few studies on the adoption of rainwater harvesting for maize production. This study analyses the factors that influence farmers' decision to harvest rainwater for maize production in Ghana. 

This research note provides insights on the role of nature-based solutions for carbon mitigation in India, including scenario simulations by 2050. The results show that forests, trees, and agroforestry can provide major carbon reductions through sustainable land use nationwide, helping India to offset carbon emissions from hard-to-abate sectors.

This study assesses the effectiveness of using system dynamics models (2050 Calculators) for energy and environmental education, while also offering insights for educators interested in this type of pedagogical approach.

This paper presents an original system dynamics model, which aims to assess how changes in diet, agricultural practices, bioenergy and forestry could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Global Calculator is useful for making broad simulations for energy, carbon and land use dynamics, and demonstrates how combined and sustained mitigation efforts across different sectors are urgently needed to meet climate targets.

As the world's largest food producer and importer, China has endeavored to increase its agricultural production while reducing climate risks over time. By using satellite-based indicators, ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) indices and grain yield statistics for China, the authors analyzed the characteristics of ENSO events, as well as their relationships with crop-growing conditions and yields at different administrative levels.

This paper provides an analysis of the land use dynamics observed in the Brazilian part of La Plata Basin (BR-LPB) from 1988 to 2018, including major crops such as maize, soybean, wheat, and sugarcane. 

The aim of this research is to contribute to building knowledge around investment in climate services in support of climate change adaptation in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In a new book chapter, authors Alexandre Strapasson, Collins Oduor, and Beatriz Domeniconi assess livestock production in the context of the circular economy.
