Genetic diversity for climate change adaptation
UN Conference on Climate Change (COP18) has begun in Doha, Qatar. Climate change is adversely affecting food security and livelihoods of the people from the poorest regions of the world. The Seeds for Needs initiative's new project in Ethiopia looks at how genetic diversity of durum wheat can provide an effective strategy to adapt to climate change.
Neglected crops: why it is critical we increase food diversity
As the IUCN World Conservation Congress comes to a close this weekend, Bioversity scientists Stefano Padulosi and Carlo Fadda look at why crop diversity is vital for food security in a report from the joint Bioversity International and CIFOR workshop.
Other ways to use agricultural biodiversity to adapt to climate change
While some scientists are working hard to breed new crop varieties better adapted to the predicted impacts of climate change, others are exploring adaptation options already present in genebanks and farmers’ fields. Find out more on the CCAFS website about 'Seeds for Needs' in Ethiopia, a project managed by Carlo Fadda, a Bioversity Senior Scientist.
Diversity protects the bean harvests of poor farmers in Uganda
Poor farmers in Uganda use agricultural biodiversity to protect themselves against pests and diseases, according to a recent paper published in the journal Agriculture, Ecosystems and the Environment (photo: CIAT/N. Palmer).
