Solving the world's looming food crisis will require big investments in agricultural research, yet public support for that is lagging.

CGIAR Climate's insight:

Bruce Campbell, a CGIAR researcher, tells of Mary Ogello, a Kenyan farmer who was able to triple and quadruple her corn and sorghum harvests after researchers helped her access information about the start of rainy season and the likelihood of flood and drought on her land. Such thinking is part of a new approach called climate-smart agriculturethat seeks to help farmers respond to climate change while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture that drive climate change.
