Livestock plays an important role in the Colombian economy, however, it is responsible for a high percentage of GHGs emitted into the atmosphere. For this reason, the objective of this work was to know the existing initiatives in sustainable livestock that allow generating models to implement technologies and improve livestock systems in the produc...
At present, there are innumerable alternatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production systems. However, the real potential of each alternative is unknown since it is subject to conditions specific to the regions where it is implemented as biophysical conditions and productive costs. The MAC curves evaluate the costs and mitiga...
The carbon footprint of food loss and waste (FLW) is estimated to be up to 3.49 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent (gtCO2e), representing up to 6–10% of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (HLPE 2014). Addressing FLW can reduce the emission intensity of the agricultural system; i.e. the number of tons of GHG emissions per ton of f...
Los altos índices de vulnerabilidad presentados en Honduras suponen una oportunidad para el flujo de financiamiento climático. Sin embargo, la implementación de las políticas de cambio climático se enfrenta a limitantes a cuento financiamiento. Con el propósito de conocer los actores involucrados, la dinámica de los fondos disponibles y los cuellos...
International discussions on climate change increasingly recognize the importance of agriculture in adaptation and mitigation efforts. Adaptation has been generally prioritized in the most vulnerable countries, where a failure to adapt can constitute a threat to food security. However, synergies between adaptation and mitigation exist in many cases...
This progress report focuses on the development, calibration and piloting of one of the components of the CSV Monitoring plan currently been implemented across the CCAFS CSV network, and its integration into the ICT based App developed for data collection purposes.
Las amenazas actuales y futuras del sector agrícola para la región de América Latina y El Caribe demandan preparación por parte de las instituciones y actores responsables, para ello es fundamental contar con herramientas e información que permita anticipar el impacto de sus políticas y disminuir la incertidumbre de las intervenciones. Sin embargo,...

Effective gender integration in policy has been proposed in many sectors and policies. CCAFS FP1 LAM has endorsed to favor mainstreaming of gender issue within climate and food security policy in agricultural sectors in Latin America. This document aims at providing a framework to analyze the current integration of gender issue and bottlenecks for ...
SECTOR is a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Calculator for cropland based on the IPCC Tier 2 approach. This tool is presently available in EXCEL and – as other GHG Calculators -- requires inputs from the user on crop areas, yields and management. SECTOR has been developed in response to increasing interest in mitigation studies in cropland, in particular rice...
