- Abstract
As part of the Learning Platform (LP2) Participatory evaluation of Climate-Smart Agricultural (CSA) practices and technologies across the AR4D Climate-Smart Villages (CSVs) network, CCAFS Flagship 2 designed a new Integrated Climate-Smart Monitoring Framework to supports a global, systemic and standardized effort to build context-specific evidence on uptake of CSA options and the associated (perceived) outcomes at household and farm level. The CSA Multilevel Framework provides standard metrics made of a set of Core (uptake and outcome) Indicators as well as Extended indicators (covering the enabling environment) designed to address the following research questions: 1) Who within each CSV community adopts which CSA technologies and practices (typology of adopting farmers) and which are their motivations or constraining factors? To which extent farmers access and use climate information services? 2) Which are the gender-disaggregated perceived effects of CSA options on farmers' livelihood (agricultural production, income, food security, food diversity and adaptive capacity) and on key gender dimensions (participation in decision making, participation in CSA implementation and dis-adoption, control and access over resources and labor) 3) Which are the CSA performance, synergies and trade-offs found at farm level? (farm model analysis). This manual aims to support future implementation of the CSA Monitoring framework in the field. It reflects all the learnings that came from its piloting and rollout phase (2018-2020) across 10 countries worldwide.

ComputingMilieux_THECOMPUTINGPROFESSION - Abstract
The CSA-Farm Calculator tool was developed as part of the CSA Multilevel Monitoring Framework implemented in the context of the Learning Platform Participatory evaluation of Climate-Smart Agricultural (CSA) practices and technologies across the AR4D Climate-Smart Villages (CSVs) network. It builds on a farm model included in the GeoFarmer app allowing the prospective assessment of farm performance in response to the implementation of different CSA practices/packages and other farming management activities in terms of productivity, adaptive capacity, and mitigation potential (in other words the “climate-smartness” of the farm) and specifically looking at synergies and trade-offs.

ComputerApplications_COMPUTERSINOTHERSYSTEMS - Abstract
GeoFarmer is an app designed to support experience exchanges between farmers – be they positive or negative – so that they can learn from each other by asking questions and by sharing suggestions on how their crop, animal and farm management can be improved. Project implementers can also use it to obtain continuous feedback and follow up with farmers during project implementation. GeoFarmer is a flexible tool that can be used for data collection (including spatial functionalities and location data to geo-reference information), as a knowledge library, or for efficient monitoring and evaluation of agricultural technologies and practices implemented by farmers.

- Abstract
Rice is one of the most important crops in terms of harvested area and food security both globally and for Colombia. Improvement of technical efficiency levels in rice production in order to close yield gaps in a context in which rice demand increases, natural resources are depleted, and where there are growing expectations about both climate changes and trade agreements is likely the most important challenge that farmers confront. This research assessed the main management factors that limit both rice crop productivity and the likely drivers of non-optimal technical efficiency levels (a proxy for yield gaps). This study focused on both upland and irrigated direct seeding systems across a variety of environments in Colombia. Stochastic frontier models were used to integrate microeconomic theory and empirical regression analysis in conjunction with a large commercial rice production database developed by the Colombian rice growers’ federation (Fedearroz). A large variation was found in technical efficiency (from 40 to 95%) levels for both upland and irrigated systems, and major differences were obtained in the limiting factors of the two systems (e.g. seed availability, variety type, market accessibility, fertilizer type, and use rate). This suggests both substantial and varied opportunities for improvements in current technical efficiency levels. Across systems, the correct choice of variety was identified as a common key factorfor maximizing yield for a particular environment. For upland systems, optimal choices were F174 and F2000, whereas for irrigated rice F473 was found to produce the highest yield. Additionally, numerical analysis suggests a yield impact of ca. 0.18% for each 1% increase in the nitrogen application rate for upland systems. For irrigated rice, phosphorous rather than nitrogen application rates were found to be more important. Since our analysis is based on farm-scale commercial production data, we argue that once our results are brought to cons, El cultivo de arroz es uno de los más importantes en términos de área cosechada y seguridad alimentaria tanto a nivel global como en Colombia. Mejorar los niveles de eficiencia técnica en la producción de arroz para cerrar las brechas de rendimiento en un contexto en el que la demanda de alimento aumenta, los recursos naturales escasean y las expectativas sobre los impactos potenciales del cambio climático y los tratados de libre comercio crecen es probablemente el desafío más importante que enfrentan los agricultores. Esta investigación evaluó los principales factores de gestión que limitan la productividad del cultivo de arroz, y los posibles impulsores de niveles de eficiencia técnica no óptimos (un proxy de las brechas de rendimiento). El estudio se enfocó en sistemas de siembra directa de tierras altas y de riego en diferentes ambientes en Colombia. Utilizamos modelos de frontera estocástica para integrar la teoría microeconómica y el análisis de regresión empírica junto con una gran base de datos de producción comercial de arroz, desarrollada por la Federación colombiana de productores de arroz (Fedearroz). Se encontró una gran variación en los niveles de eficiencia técnica (del 40 al 95%) para los sistemas de tierras altas y de riego, y se obtuvieron diferencias importantes en los factores limitantes entre los dos sistemas (por ejemplo, disponibilidad de semillas, tipo de variedad, accesibilidad al mercado, tipo de fertilizante, y tasa de uso). Esto sugiere oportunidades sustanciales yvariadas para mejorar los niveles actuales de eficiencia técnica. En todoslos sistemas, la elección correcta de la variedad se identificó como un factor clave común para maximizar el rendimiento por ambiente. Para los sistemas de tierras altas, las opciones óptimas fueron F174 y F2000, mientras que para el arroz de riego se encontró que F473 era el de mayor rendimiento. Además, el análisis numérico sugiere un impacto en el rendimiento de ca. 0.18% por cada 1% de aumento en la ta

Farmers can manage their crops and farms better if they can communicate their experiences, both positive and negative, with each other and with experts. Digital agriculture using internet communication technology (ICT) may facilitate the sharing of experiences between farmers themselves and with experts and others interested in agriculture. ICT approaches in agriculture are, however, still out of the reach of many farmers. The reasons are lack of connectivity, missing capacity building and poor usability of ICT applications. We decided to tackle this problem through cost-effective, easy to use ICT approaches, based on infrastructure and services currently available to small-scale producers in developing areas. Working through a participatory design approach, we developed and tested a novel technology. GeoFarmer provides near real-time, two-way data flows that support processes of co-innovation in agricultural development projects. It can be used as a cost-effective ICT-based platform to monitor agricultural production systems with interactive feedback between the users, within pre-defined geographical domains. We tested GeoFarmer in four geographic domains associated with ongoing agricultural development projects in East and West Africa and Latin America. We demonstrate that GeoFarmer is a cost-effective means of providing and sharing opportune indicators of on-farm performance. It is a potentially useful tool that farmers and agricultural practitioners can use to manage their crops and farms better, reduce risk, increase productivity and improve their livelihoods.

- Abstract
Agricultural productivity and growth in Mali are under threat from erratic rainfall, resulting in more frequent dry years. The national economy is vulnerable to climate change due to 50% of the gross domestic product coming from the agricultural sector and 75% of the population living in rural areas. The Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) concept arises from a need to provide innovative solutions towards the complex and integrated goals of increasing yields, improving resilience, and promoting a low emissions agricultural sector. A major challenge for policymakers to operationalize CSA is the identification, valuation (cost-benefit), and subsequent prioritization of climate-smart options and portfolios (groups of CSA options) for investment. This paper presents the process, results, and lessons learned from a yearlong pilot of the Climate-Smart Agriculture Prioritization Framework (CSA-PF) in Mali. Key national and international stakeholders participated in the co-development and prioritization of two CSA portfolios and related action plans for the Malian Sudanese zone. Initial steps towards outcomes of the process include inclusion of prioritized CSA practices in ongoing development projects and prompting discussion of modifications of future calls for agricultural development proposals by regional donors.

A dilution and size fractionation approach is used for studying the separate and combined effects of viruses and flagellates on prokaryotic production and community composition in the upper mixed layer and the deep chlorophyll maximum in the offshore Mediterranean Sea. The results have shown that the presence of viruses or viruses plus flagellates has sustained prokaryotic diversity and has controlled prokaryotic production by regulating the proportion of the highly active members of the community and also the lysis and grazing control has affected the relationship between bacterial community composition and prokaryotic production.

Identifier les priorités nationales en matière de pratiques d'agriculture intelligente face au climat fut un engagement du Mali en 2013 lors de la COP 19 à Varsovie. En effet, le climat du Mali est en grande partie de type sahélien caractérisé par une irrégularité de la pluviométrie qui se traduit par des années sèches récurrentes. Pour opérationnaliser l'identification et la priorisation des pratiques d'agriculture intelligente face au climat, l'outil de priorisation de l'agriculture intelligente face au climat développé par le programme CCAFS, le CIAT et la Banque mondiale est en cours d'implémentation au Mali. L'approche comporte deux grandes phase : (1) la préparation, le zonage et le listing des pratiques ; (2) sur la base des critères fixés par les acteurs endogènes, les pratiques sont priorisées pour la productivité, l'adaptation et l'atténuation pour les zone agro écologiques ciblées en fonction du centre d'intérêts d'acteurs spécifiques mobilisés et engagés. Ces acteurs sont des décideurs des collectivités territoriales et des départements techniques du développement rural, des partenaires techniques et financiers ou des projets /programmes. Les premiers résultats importants du processus sont : (1) l'émergence d'une vision commune des acteurs nationaux clés et leurs partenaires autour de trois zones à caractéristiques distincts selon l'indice de vulnérabilité (extrême vulnérabilité , très vulnérable, assez vulnérable) et la mobilisation volontaire de groupe d'acteurs pour l'identification et la priorisation des pratiques d'agricultures intelligente face au climat pour chacune des zones spécifiées ; (2) la fixation des dunes pour permettre les activités agropastorales, l'aménagements des vallées rizicoles avec exhaure solaire, la diffusion régulière d'information agro climatique sont les pratiques prioritaires pour les acteurs de la zone d'extrême vulnérabilité où les précipitations annuelles sont inférieures à 400mm; (3)les associations de cultures sorgho*niébé, la régénération naturelle assistée et l'aménagement des champs cultivés en courbes de niveau sont des pratiques prioritaires pour la zone située entre 400 et 800mm par an ; (4) les aménagements des champs cultivés en courbes de niveau, l'association céréales*légumineuses, l'aménagement des vallées rizicoles sont entre autres les pratiques priorisées pour la zone de plus de 800 mm de pluie par an. Tous les acteurs reconnaissent la nécessité de combiner ces pratiques avec d'autres pratiques complémentaires en fonction du système de production et les conditions socioéconomiques des utilisateurs finaux des pratiques.

Chapitre 11; National audience; Le concept d'agriculture climato-intelligente a pour objectif de favoriser la réflexion sur la transition vers des systèmes agricoles durables et adaptés au changement climatique. Ce chapitre se base sur des travaux menés en Colombie et au Burkina Faso dans le cadre de recherches participatives pour explorer avec les producteurs l'intérêt de solutions nouvelles (information agroclimatique) ou promues depuis plus longtemps (compost) et pouvant être qualifiées de climato-intelligentes. Ces travaux reposent sur une analyse des stratégies mobilisées par les producteurs pour faire face à la variabilité et au changement climatique, assistée par la modélisation dans le cas du Burkina Faso. Nous montrons que ces solutions doivent s'articuler avec les stratégies existantes. Ainsi la gamme des leviers d'adaptation dont disposent les producteurs de Colombie influe sur leurs besoins en information agroclimatique. Au Burkina Faso, ces leviers d'adaptation se répercutent sur l'effet spécifique qu'a le compost sur les critères d'évaluation de l'agriculture climato-intelligente. Nous en tirons des enseignements méthodologiques pour la coconception d'exploitations agricoles adaptées au changement climatique.

ADAPTIVE natural resource management , *CLIMATE change , *ECOLOGICAL resilience , *GREENHOUSE effect prevention , *AGRICULTURAL technology , *RURAL geography - Abstract
Increasing weather risks threaten agricultural production systems and food security across the world. Maintaining agricultural growth while minimizing climate shocks is crucial to building a resilient food production system and meeting developmental goals in vulnerable countries. Experts have proposed several technological, institutional and policy interventions to help farmers adapt to current and future weather variability and to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper presents the climate-smart village (CSV) approach as a means of performing agricultural research for development that robustly tests technological and institutional options for dealing with climatic variability and climate change in agriculture using participatory methods. It aims to scale up and scale out the appropriate options and draw out lessons for policy makers from local to global levels. The approach incorporates evaluation of climate-smart technologies, practices, services and processes relevant to local climatic risk management and identifies opportunities for maximizing adaptation gains from synergies across different interventions and recognizing potential maladaptation and trade-offs. It ensures that these are aligned with local knowledge and link into development plans. This paper describes early results in Asia, Africa and Latin America to illustrate different examples of the CSV approach in diverse agroecological settings. Results from initial studies indicate that the CSV approach has a high potential for scaling out promising climate-smart agricultural technologies, practices and services. Climate analog studies indicate that the lessons learned at the CSV sites would be relevant to adaptation planning in a large part of global agricultural land even under scenarios of climate change. Key barriers and opportunities for further work are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
