abstract: Climate change is now an issue that demands urgent
attention. The UN Global Goals for Sustainable
Development and COP 21 Paris Agreement emphasize its
importance. The agricultural sector will be hardest hit by
climate change and the impact will be felt most by the
smallholder farmers we serve in Africa and Asia.
Unseasonal rains, increasing frequency of droughts and
extreme weather events, crop failures and low crop yields
often exacerbated by degraded ecosystems have resulted in
household food shortages, malnutrition, high poverty levels
and forced migration. These are issues we have had to address
in our work of building climate-smart farming communities.
The farming community in the dryland tropics is the most
impacted by climate change and ICRISAT and its partners have
responded to the clarion call of COP 21 by developing climatesmart
approaches for the dryland tropics that we proudly
highlight in our annual report for 2015...
