Farmers in South Asia and Africa need "climate smart agriculture" interventions like crop insurance and weather data

CGIAR Climate's insight:

Small-scale farmers need better access to crop insurance and weather information to boost resilience, said Bruce Campbell, an ecologist who leads the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS).

The CGIAR, a global agricultural research partnership, is one of the members of a new Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture, which involves hundreds of scientific, business and farming organisations, and aims to bring together expertise and money to scale up efforts to improve agricultural resilience to climate change.
