CCAFS Regional Program for Latin America

What is CCAFS?

The CGIAR research program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security CGIAR y Future Earth Initiative

Objective: Overcome the threats that climate change imposes onagriculture and food security, exploring innovative ways to help ruralcommunities to adjust to global changes in climate.

¿What is CCAFS?CCAFS works closely with CGIAR research centers in order to generatehigh quality scientific outputs to support decision making processesof rural communities facing climate change and variability.

Recommendations for farmers on adaptive measures based on local and scientific knowledge

How will crops be affected?

What measures should we implement?

Inter-institutional arrangement

Stakeholders involved: producer’s associations, local, subnational and national governments, farmers, technicians

Key messages

Science must develop tailored research outputs thatrespond decision makers and policy formulators needs andpriorities recognizing diversity of stakeholders and their existingcapacities

In Latin America significant advances in terms oftechnology and knowledge gaps have been made, howeverwithin the region there are major inequalities. In some cases,gaps can be addressed through south-south collaboration butin others, international support will be needed.

Understanding specific contexts by identifying bothsynergies and differences is key, this will strengthen sciencethrough learning from local and traditional learning processesconsidering a territorial and/or landscape perspective.
