Its objectives include identifying adaptation and mitigation practices, supporting inclusion of climate issues in agriculture policies, and place-based research in key regions. Progress includes work on adapted farming systems, climate-resilient crops, integrating adaptation into policies, and identifying low-carbon agriculture pathways. CCAFS also focuses on cross-cutting issues like gender, communications, measuring impact, and knowledge sharing.
Climate change impacts on agriculture and rural development in the Pacific Re...Euforic Services
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture and rural development in Pacific island countries. It notes that rising sea levels and changes in rainfall patterns from climate change threaten coconut trees, an important food and cash crop. On Maiana Island in Kiribati, decreases in rainfall are reducing food and copra production, potentially exacerbating effects of sea level rise such as land loss. Climate change also poses challenges for rural energy development projects in Kiribati by reducing incomes from copra that communities rely on to purchase and maintain new energy systems. Adaptation will require financial resources, developing resilient cash crops, and gender-sensitive policies.
1. The document discusses the impacts of climate change on Indian agriculture. It is expected to affect agricultural productivity and shift crop patterns due to factors like increasing temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events.
2. Studies have shown that increases in temperature could reduce yields of crops like rice and wheat. Climate change may also lead to a change in suitable areas for growing certain crops. Rain-fed agriculture is expected to be more severely impacted than irrigated agriculture.

Agriculture has been and continues to be the most important sector in Indian economy. Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues facing the world today. The impact of climate change is a reality and it cuts across all climates sensitive sectors including the Agriculture sector. In this situation this seminar focuses on the climate smart agriculture. CSA brings together practices, policies and institutions that are not necessarily new but are used in the context of climatic changes which is prime requirement in arena of climate change. Farmers possessed low level of knowledge regarding climate change, and they adopted traditional methods to mitigate the impact of climate change. Small land holdings, poor extension services and non availability of stress tolerant verities were the major problems faced by the farmers in adoption to climate change. Extension functionaries were having medium level awareness about impact of climate change on agriculture. They used electronic media, training and conferences and seminars as major sources of information for climate change. They need training on climate smart agriculture aspects. Based on the above facts this presentation focuses on analyzing the opportunities and challenges of climate smart agriculture.

Ghayas Haider Sajid presented on the topic of the effect of climate change on agriculture for the department of soil science at Gomal University. The presentation covered definitions of weather and climate, factors affecting climate change, how agriculture contributes to and is impacted by climate change, and potential adaptations and solutions for agriculture under climate change.
Climate change poses serious threats to Indian agriculture that could undermine food security. Studies project cereal production may decrease 10-40% by 2100 due to increased temperatures, with wheat facing greater losses. Every 1°C rise in temperature could reduce wheat production by 4-5 million tons. Adaptation strategies like new crop varieties, water management, and insurance can help minimize impacts but require significant research and policy support. Immediate action is needed on low-cost adaptation options while determining costs and policies for long-term mitigation through practices like agroforestry and soil carbon sequestration. Failure to act risks substantial economic and social damages from climate impacts on India's agricultural sector and food system.

Dr. Bill Deen - Forages - Essential crop of the past, present and futureCorieA
This document summarizes a presentation on the past, present, and future of forage crops. It provides an overview of the Canadian forage industry, noting its economic importance. It then discusses trends of declining forage acreage and yields. Reasons for concern about these trends are explained, using Ontario as an example case study. The document suggests future opportunities for forages lie in continued research on improved varieties and management, promoting their economic and environmental benefits, and finding new ways to incorporate forages into cropping systems.
This document discusses how agriculture is both a victim and cause of global warming, as well as potential solutions. Rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns are negatively impacting crop yields around the world. Agriculture accounts for 9% of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from livestock methane emissions and nitrogen fertilizer use. However, certain agricultural practices like conservation tillage, forestry, and use of biofuels can sequester carbon from the atmosphere and reduce emissions, positioning agriculture as part of the solution to climate change. Carbon markets and offsets may provide economic incentives for farmers to adopt more sustainable practices.

In the years to come climate change, coupled with population growth, energy and natural resource depletion, will increasingly challenge our continued ability to feed ourselves. As we move forward, persistent problems, past failures and new challenges within Extension change agents and advisory service (EAS) provisioning have the potential to converge in a perfect storm as the scramble to adapt to the new normal of life under climate change intensifies. This presentation outlines the nature of the challenges, identifies past and present points of successful EAS engagement and outlines necessary areas of preparation
Agriculture Extension and Advisory Services under the New Normal of Climate ...World Agroforestry (ICRAF)
This document summarizes the challenges facing agriculture under climate change and opportunities for agricultural extension services. It discusses trends showing rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather. This "new normal" will disrupt agriculture and require adaptations. Extension services need to help farmers mitigate emissions and adapt practices, focusing on building resilience. Prospects include collaborating with researchers, adopting multi-benefit practices, enhancing technology transfer, upgrading training, and balancing policies to support smallholders under climate change.
This document discusses agroforestry as an essential tool for climate resilience. It summarizes that by 2050, food production will need to increase 60% on the same land area while making farms more resilient to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Agroforestry brings many benefits like increased soil fertility and crop yields through the use of fertilizer trees. Studies show agroforestry systems can produce higher yields than chemical fertilizers alone. Agroforestry also improves climate resilience by buffering weather impacts and storing large amounts of carbon in soils and trees. The document argues agroforestry is key to achieving food security and climate goals by 2050 by sustainably increasing production while reducing emissions and adapting to climate change.

The LiveM theme of the FACCE-JPI MACSUR Knowledge Hub brings together 30 institutes from 14 European countries with expertise in a diverse range of disciplines, from grassland and farm-scale modelling through to livestock disease and health research.
Climate change, food security, and agricultural production interact in complex ways. A major challenge for scientists is to understand and assess the biological, economic, and ecological interdependencies in the context of climate change and food security. More and better knowledge is necessary to aid politicians, stakeholders and farmers in their decisions.
The event has four major goals:
• to critically discuss the state-of-the-art and future perspectives of integrated assessment approaches
• to study and assess examples of applied modelling approaches integrating crop, livestock, and economic models
• to foster international collaboration in the research areas of food security, climate change, and agrosystem modelling
• to plan and identify next steps to achieve TradeM contributions to MACSUR goals

This document discusses various aspects of water use for agriculture production. It provides data on the water requirements of different crops, ranging from 500-5000 kg of water needed to produce 1 kg of various foods. More efficient irrigation techniques like drip irrigation and sprinklers can improve water use efficiency and crop yields compared to traditional surface irrigation. The type of irrigation used will impact how much water is available for food production globally by 2050 when the population is projected to reach 8.9 billion people. Accounting for all factors from growing to processing to losses, significant uncertainty remains in whether food demands can be met sustainably.
This document summarizes the findings of long-term crop rotation studies conducted at the University of Guelph's Elora and Ridgetown research stations. The summary discusses how more diverse crop rotations, including the addition of small grains and cover crops, can lead to higher and more stable corn and soybean yields, reduced nitrogen fertilizer requirements for corn, and improved soil quality over time compared to continuous corn-soybean rotations. More diverse rotations were also found to potentially improve profits from crop production and make fields more resilient to weather extremes in the future. The document concludes by questioning how crop rotation diversity may further impact yields and soils under increasing weather variability.

The Keep Forests Healthy scorecard can help you assess how resilient your forest may be to changing climate conditions. Consider the condition of your woods and check the appropriate boxes during a woods walk in your forest. The evaluation can help you identify potential risks and highlight management options that may increase the forest's ability to cope with the pressure of changing conditions. Discuss these topics with a professional as you plan for the future of your forest.
Forests are changing due to climate change, with rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and more extreme weather. This is stressing some tree species and benefiting others. To keep forests healthy as the climate changes, landowners can promote diversity of tree species and ages, protect young trees from browsing, and respond quickly to disturbances. Taking these proactive steps will help forests adapt and remain productive in the face of future climate impacts.
Climate change is altering forest ecosystems, with many changes expected by the end of the 21st century. Forests vary widely, and not all forests are equally at risk; vulnerabilities are strongly influenced by regional differences in climate impacts and adaptive capacity. Further, as an increasing amount of scientific information on forest vulnerability to climate change becomes available, natural resource managers are searching for ways to realistically use this information to meet specific management needs, ranging from landscape-level planning and coordination to on-the-ground implementation.
Forest Ecology and Management Webinar Series - August 13, 2019
The document discusses how climate change will impact forests and bird sanctuaries in Connecticut. It summarizes that climate change will lead to shifting seasons, species distributions, and stressors. Forest species that are currently more northern or at higher elevations are expected to decline, while more southern species may expand their ranges. This is also true for many bird species. The document then discusses approaches for adapting ecosystems and habitats to climate change, including promoting resistance, resilience and transition of forests. It provides examples of adaptation actions including those taken at Audubon sanctuaries in Vermont. Finally, it addresses the importance of communicating these issues to stakeholders like forest landowners.
Climate change is affecting forests through variable weather, changes to water cycles, and shifts in tree species distributions. These impacts compound other threats like pests, diseases, and invasive species. To help forests adapt, landowners can take steps like protecting water and soil, controlling invasive plants, improving tree health, promoting diversity of tree species and sizes through management, considering future suitable species, managing deer browsing, monitoring impacts over time, and seeking professional advice. Uncertainty remains about future projections, but proactive management can help improve forests' defenses against unwanted changes.
This document discusses how forests in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island are being impacted by climate change and provides recommendations for adapting forest management. Key points:
- Temperatures have risen 3°F since 1900 and are projected to increase another 3.5-8.5°F by 2100, leading to longer growing seasons but also increased moisture stress. Precipitation has increased, especially from extreme events.
- Species compositions are shifting as northern species decline and southern species expand their ranges. Many common tree species will have reduced suitable habitat.
- Forest managers can take actions to enhance resilience like increasing diversity, retaining habitat structures, establishing reserves, and facilitating transitions to new species. Adaptation approaches include resistance,
This document discusses climate change adaptation resources and education for forest managers. It describes tools like the Adaptation Workbook, which is a structured process to integrate climate change considerations into forest management planning. The document also outlines climate change education programs including workshops that allow natural resource professionals to work on adapting actual management projects to climate change through hands-on exercises. These workshops provide coaching to help participants assess climate change impacts and vulnerabilities, evaluate management objectives, identify adaptation approaches, and plan monitoring. The goal is to help diverse land managers and partners build adaptation strategies for their specific projects and locations.
Chris Swanston gave this invited presentation at the 2017 Environmental Justice in the Anthropocene Symposium.
The Forest Service recognizes that climate change poses a multi-generational challenge that spans borders, transcends unilateral solutions, and demands shared learning and resources (USDA Forest Service 2011). The Climate Change Response Framework (CCRF, www.forestadaptation.org) grew from this recognition, and was formally launched in 2009 to address the major challenges that land managers face when considering how to integrate climate change into their planning and management. Practitioners whose livelihoods and communities depend on healthy forests face daunting challenges when responding to rapid forest decline or preparing for future change, particularly tribal natural resources professionals and tribal communities (Vogesser et al. 2013). Emphasizing climate services support for these rural communities can help them build adaptive capacity in their cultural and economic systems, often considered fundamental to environmental justice. Supporting climate-informed decision-making by these practitioners and communities requires climate service organizations to show up, listen, and then creatively work with practitioners to meet their own goals on the lands they manage. The emphasis of the CCRF on stewardship goals, as opposed to climate change and its effects, represents a subtle but important shift in focus to people and their values.

This fast-paced, dynamic workshop will lead participants through a five-step process to consider how climate change will affect their lands and conservation goals. This “climate change filter” will then be used to identify actions that enable forest ecosystems to adapt to changing conditions. The session will also identify strategies to engage woodland owner networks in these important stewardship activities, including climate change communication to key audiences and stakeholders.
The document outlines a 4-step process for developing an adaptation plan for a management area. Step 1 involves defining the location, project, and time frames. For the example area of Jerktail Mountain, the goals are to restore woodland conditions, reduce eastern redcedar encroachment, increase fire-tolerant species, and use prescribed burns and harvesting. Step 2 assesses potential climate change impacts such as increased temperatures and drought. Step 3 evaluates if the management objectives can still be met given the projected impacts. For Jerktail Mountain, objectives may need modified burn timing. Step 4 identifies adaptation approaches like facilitating species transitions and establishing new native species mixes.
This document discusses adapting forests to climate change through the Forest Adaptation Resources program. It summarizes the program's key components, including vulnerability assessments of 125+ partner organizations, demonstrations of 200+ adaptation projects underway, and an adaptation workbook to help managers develop customized adaptation plans. The program provides resources to help forests cope with a changing climate and meet management goals through strategies like enhancing diversity, resilience, and facilitating species transitions.

3. Building soil organic matter, such as by minimum/conservation
tillage; Note: Soil OM is third largest carbon pool on earth;
Integrated nutrient management practices, such as green
manures, planting of legumes, livestock manure.
Increase water and nitrate use efficiency, irrigation, water
harvesting;
Improve livestock management practices,
grassland management, land restoration,
and apply agro forestry.

5. Climate disruptions have increased in past 40
years and projected to increase over the next 25
years. By mid-century and beyond, these
impacts will be increasingly negative on most
crops and livestock.
Many agricultural regions will experience
declines in crop and livestock production from
increased stress due to weeds, diseases, insect
pests, and other climate change induced
stresses.
16. Current loss and degradation of critical soil and
water assets due to increasing extremes in
precipitation will continue to challenge both
rainfed and irrigated agriculture unless
innovative conservation methods are
implemented
The rising incidence of weather extremes will
have increasingly negative impacts on crop and
livestock productivity because critical thresholds
are already being exceeded

21. Agriculture has been able to adapt to recent
changes in climate; however, increased
innovation will be needed over the next 25
years.
Climate change effects on agriculture will
have consequences for food security, both in
the US and globally, through changes in crop
yields and food prices and effects on food
processing, storage, transportation, and
retailing.

42. How cold does it get in the wintertime?
Was it warm before the cold spell occurred?
In the springtime when fruit crops start to grow, when
gardeners are planting, farmers start to plant corn –
like to know a month beforehand if the temperature
was going to get below 20F or 25F and for how long
Fall:
▪ When harvesting freeze tender crops – what is the chance for
a freeze in the next week?
▪ If growing hops and it freezes, the harvest is over in 24 hours
43. Prediction of dew point temps at night, In terms of cooling
animals, it’s not how high during the day but how much it cools
off at night, as well as the high dew points
When the animals can’t cool off at night, that’s problematic
The only technique currently to effectively cool animal housing
is by sprinkling – which is useless when the dew points are
already high (they don’t have air conditioning)
Heat stress is the most important for livestock
▪ For dairy, there is heat stress above 65F
▪ It is difficult to cool big birds with large feathers
Other issues
▪ When livestock producers lose electrical power, they have minutes to
do something or you have dead animals
▪ Transport of animals during summer requires special attention to
temperature and humidity conditions to ensure safe transport.
44. Has the range changed with the changing
climate?
Will within season weather affect the
dynamics of pests and disease populations?
Can we develop more effective prediction
tools?
45. Linked together to protect and enhance the
natural resources of soil, water, and air
The goal is to integrate information to deliver
solutions to producers through a variety of
outlets
