Climate change, food security, and livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa (2016, background): “They are experiencing unpredictability in the onset of the rainy season (Assan and Kumar 2009; Laube et al. 2012), increased incidences of drought (Hesselberg and Yaro 2006; Westerhoff and Smit 2009), and more intense rainfall, sometimes leading to increased flooding (Westerhoff and Smit 2009; Casal”
Climate change adaptation and mitigation in smallholder crop–livestock systems in sub-Saharan Africa: a call for integrated impact assessments (2016, background): “Indeed, the direction and magnitude of the effects on agriculture will depend on the socio-economic, policy and biophysical context (Laube et al. 2012; Müller 2013).”
Livelihood adaptations to climate variability: insights from farming households in Ghana (2014, result): “These claims corroborate other studies (e.g. Enfors and Gordon 2008; Laube et al. 2012) suggesting that small-scale irrigation among smallholders provides additional on-farm income sources during the dry season and thus helps to enhance the resilience of vulnerable households.”
African farmer-led irrigation development: re-framing agricultural policy and investment? (2017, background): “In Northern Ghana, the farmer-led development of shallow groundwater irrigation has been associated with a reversal in rural-urban migration (Laube, Schraven, and Awo 2012).”
Climate change, multiple stressors and human vulnerability: a systematic review (2016, background): “…community in the Norwegian Arctic primary stressor for community adaptation is population decline (Amundsen 2012), in many other contexts one of the major stresses concerning the adaptation to climate change is caused by population growth (Fazey et al. 2011; Laube et al. 2012; Pricope et al. 2013).”
Climate-smart agriculture global research agenda: scientific basis for action (2014, background): “Opportunities exist to improve structural and institutional frameworks to reduce migration from rural areas, including greater diversification of rural livelihood systems [149,269]; opportunities for public health, social equity and environmental welfare [270]; and connection of urban populations wi”
