CGIAR Climate's insight:
Whether it’s bracing for drought in Sri Lanka with a return to ancient water storage systems or swapping coffee for cocoa in Central America, findings from a new report from the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS)chart a path for farmers to adapt to climate shifts despite uncertainties about what growing conditions will look like decades from now.

The CCAFS study encourages a broader approach to agriculture adaptation that considers the socioeconomic conditions on the ground. These conditions, such as a particular farmer’s or community’s capacity to make the necessary farming changes, will determine whether a particular adaptation strategy is likely to succeed.
