Handbook Of Climate Change And Agroecosystems - Climate Change And Farming System Planning In Africa And South Asia: Agmip Stakeholder-driven Research (In 2 Parts)

AgMIP is a two-part handbook that focuses on the work of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia (SA) using a new method called the AgMIP Regional Integrated Assessment Protocol. It improves the characterization and understanding of food security in these regions and how it is affected by climate variability and change. The handbook demonstrates how AgMIP has enhanced the capacity of developing country researchers and stakeholders to work together, exploring and prioritizing adaptation to climate stresses.

This two-part handbook delves into the groundbreaking work accomplished by the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) through the implementation of the AgMIP Regional Integrated Assessment Protocol in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia (SA). With generous funding from the UK Department for International Development, AgMIP has made significant strides in improving our understanding of food security in these regions, particularly in the face of climate variability and change.

The chapters within this handbook showcase the remarkable impact of AgMIP in enhancing the collaboration and capacity of developing country researchers and stakeholders. Through collaborative efforts, they have explored and prioritized adaptation strategies to address the challenges posed by current and future climate stresses. Part 1 of the handbook provides an in-depth exploration of regional integrated assessment methods and analyses, while Part 2 presents the outcomes of farming system studies conducted under AgMIP.

The comprehensive nature of this volume demonstrates how AgMIP has established itself as a valuable public good by developing protocols for Regional Integrated Assessments that empower developing countries to effectively tackle climate change challenges. By leveraging cutting-edge research and innovative approaches, AgMIP has contributed to a better understanding of the complex interactions between agriculture, climate, and society, paving the way for more resilient and sustainable food systems.
