Community = C5
or
Trade-offs in adaptation and mitigation
in perennial tropical systems
Background
• Mayor source of GDP in developing countries
• Dominantly cultivated by smallholders
– Mayor income source for millions of farmers
– Grown in mixed systems with food/tree crops
– Links farmers to global markets, strongly organized value
chain
• Linked to key environmental services
– Carbon, biodiversity, water, nutrient cycling
• Long lead time for adaptation and
– Highly sensitive systems
– Adaptation potential through shade management
Why C5
• Cocoa key system in humid lowlands and coffee
in humid highlands
• Fills important agro-ecosystem gap in CCAFS
– Dominant annual crops and livestock
– Analyze mitigation/adaptation trade-offs at different
scales
• Opportunity to build on existing expertise and
data sets
• Private sector and supply chain relevance
– Major driver for change
– Highly relevant for policy makers/authorities
• Applicable to other tropical systems
– Frame work, methodologies and tools
Science content integration
• Agriculture and Resource management
– Important eco-nomic/logical part of system
– Understanding interactions between agricultural
systems, climate change and livelihoods
– Importance of climate change in contrast to other
global drivers
– Opportunity to work on analogue sites (travel in
space and time)
Science content integration
• Climate change uncertainty
– Buffering effect of shade trees in a range of
systems and conditions
– Work on climate variability and progressive
change
– Crop response modeling include uncertainty
(GCM, Emission Scenarios)
Science content integration
• Spatial and temporal
– Different systems in space
– At different scales
– At different time scales
– Important trade-off between scales
Science content integration
• Gender and social differentiation
– Resource control (input/ output)
– Importance of post-harvest processing and value
chain
– Integration of food crops and participation of men
and women
Science content integration
• Institutions and governance
– Certification provides opportunities
– Governance and policies
• Cocoa/coffee authorities versus environmental
authorities
• GHG mitigation trade-offs at different scales
– Rewards for ecosystem services down and up
stream
Roles of Institutions / Collaborators
• IRD/CIRAD: Biochemical cycles, soil and crops, water cycle, soil ecology,
carbon sequestration, climate variability and risk
• ICRAF: Agroforestry versions of project, interest in cocoa/coffee systems,
Environmental Services, Value chains, carbon
• DIVERSITAS: Network of agroforestry sites (in all the three continents),
strong soil-ecology, landscape scale impacts
• IITA: Coffee and cocoa, diagnostic surveys, pest and disease, farmers
systems perspective, STCP trade off at different scales, data bases for
Africa
• INI: Science in nitrogen, polices, study nitrogen cycles in Africa
• CORAF: Coordinate research, collaborate with CCAFS in Africa, link CG to
NARS, climate change platform
• CIAT: Spatial analysis (quality, yield, pest and disease), G*E, ES, global data
bases, site-specific agriculture,
• More……
