Climate-Smart Agricultural Policy-Design & Implementation

Climate-Smart Agricultural Policy-Design & Implementation

THE CHALLENGE:
Provide policymakers and program designers with models and tools to inform climate-smart agricultural policy design and implementation.

THE SOLUTION: 

Viewing the challenge from the perspective of policymakers, small and large farmers, technology and input suppliers, as well as product users, we suggested frameworks and models for analysis, diagnosis, and decision making in the international agricultural sector. The work done by our Causal Links team was incorporated into a Research Triangle Institute (RTI) study examining various modeling techniques relevant for analyses of climate-smart agriculture approaches.

THE IMPACT:

This work led to the publication of two papers and provided the foundation for the development of an RTI agricultural strategy.
