Agricultural intensification as a strategy for climate mitigation in Ghana by Gockowski, J., Robiglio, Valentina, Muilerman, Sander, Agyeman, N.F.

“…In Ghana, as in many other tropical landscapes of West Africa, the expansion of extensive low input agriculture has resulted in significant deforestation with concomitant loss of biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions. Of the many crops grown in Ghana, cocoa has had the largest expansion in area extent and is a strategic crop for the country's development. …”

Expert workshop on NAMAs: National mitigation planning and implementation in agriculture by CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

“…There is a need for Annex 1 countries to support NAMA development to enhance Non-Annex 1 countries’ contribution to the reduction of GHG emissions 4. NAMAs can provide additional resources for climate smart agriculture, where multiple benefits, including mitigation benefits, are generated alongside adaptation. 5. …”

Food security and global environmental change by Ingram, J., Ericksen, Polly J., Liverman, D.

“…As this book shows, at the same time, agriculture and related activities also contribute to GEC by, for example, intensifying greenhouse gas emissions and altering the land surface. Responses aimed at adapting to GEC may have negative consequences for food security, just as measures taken to increase food security may exacerbate GEC. …”

Modeling the response of tropical highland herbaceous grassland species to climate change: The case of the Arsi mountains of Ethiopia by Mekasha, A., Nigatu, L., Tesfaye, K., Duncan, Alan J.

“…In this study, we modeled the response of herbaceous species of grasslands within the Arsi Mountains in Ethiopia under no-migration and with migration scenarios to the projected 4.2 °C increase of temperature by 2090 (under the A2 emission scenario). For 67 species of grasses and legumes, we determined the current and predicted altitudinal limits and calculated current and projected area coverage using a Digital Elevation Model. …”
