Across different CGIAR centres there is a strong interest in applying farm household models
to evaluate and target adaptation to climate change and variability. The Commonwealth
Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), an important research partner for
the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
(CCAFS), has developed into a top institute in this research area, and has strong interest in
strengthening collaboration with CCAFS and other CRPs like Integrated Systems for the
Humid Tropics. In recent years CCAFS and Humid Tropics have invested a lot of time and
effort in collecting farm household level characterization data and in developing coherent
socio-economic scenarios of change in the near future. Given the current interest in household
level analyses of adaptation and mitigation options, and the availability of data and resources
within CCAFS and other CRPs the aim of the workshop was to develop a community of
practice across CGIAR centres and stimulate active CGIAR – CSIRO collaboration, thereby
more effectively sharing and further developing the wide range of tools and approaches
available in the different institutes. The workshop, besides exchanging information about new
results of on-going work and sharing of approaches and methods also produced a flexible and
stepwise work plan that could be implemented under different scenarios of available funding.
