Climate change adaptation and mitigation in smallholder crop–livestock systems in sub-Saharan Africa: a call for integrated impact assessments (2016, background): “Notable exceptions to these negative projections include maize in highland areas, which may benefit from increased temperature (Thornton et al. 2010) and cassava, which, being a starch crop resistant to high temperature and low rainfall, may benefit from CO2 fertilization (Liu et al. 2008).”
Climate-smart agriculture global research agenda: scientific basis for action (2014, background): “Considerable research on climate change and agriculture exists at the farm and food system levels, including topics such as farming practices for mitigation of agricultural GHG emissions, choice and adaptation of crops and livestock to new climate regimes, decision-making by farmers and life-cycle a”
Shaping agricultural innovation systems responsive to food insecurity and climate change (2011, background): “However, as global temperatures rise towards 4 o c, incremental adaptations may not be sufficient, and communities may be forced into 'system flips', for example from mixed/rain-fed cropping to rangeland systems (Thornton et al. 2010; Jones and Thornton 2009).”
Adaptation of agricultural and food systems to climate change: an economic and policy perspective. (2010, background): “Researchers have also shown that livestock productivity is sensitive to temperature extremes (Nienaber and Hahn 2007; Thornton et al. 2009; 2010).”
Adaptation to climate change through the choice of cropping system and sowing date in sub-Saharan Africa (2013, unknown): “The degree of climate change impacts on agricultural production differs between crops (Challinor et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2008; Schlenker and Lobell, 2010; Thornton et al., 2011) and agricultural systems (Thornton et al., 2010).”
