Climate-adaptation effort cuts hunger in African villages | Nature
Shift in farming techniques reduces number of households eating one or no meals each day.
CGIAR Climate's insight:
The African sites are part of an effort to turn villages on five continents into labs, testing new farming techniques, crop varieties and livestock breeds to improve food security in the face of climate change. Run by the CGIAR, a global partnership focused on agricultural research for food security, the project will present initial results from its 22 'climate-smart villages' at a conference in Montpellier, France, on 16–18 March.
