Led by
Landscape-scale research on food security, natural resources, policy and governance to achieve agricultural resilience to climate change.
Talk about a wicked scale!

Let’s talk about Wicked Solutions
wick·ed (w k d)adj. wick·ed·er, wick·ed·est1. Evil by nature and in practice: "this wicked man Hitler, the repository and embodiment of many forms of soul-destroying hatred"(Winston S. Churchill).2. Playfully malicious or mischievous: a wicked prank; a critic's wicked wit.3. Severe and distressing: a wicked cough; a wicked gash; wicked driving conditions.4. Highly offensive; obnoxious: a wicked stench.5. Slang Strikingly good, effective, or skillful

Weather reasons for adapting
a) More erratic rainfallb) ↘ overall rainfall (88%)c) ↗ amount of rainfall (39%)d) more frequent droughts
(71%)e) earlier start of the rains
77%)f) Later start of rains (65%)
Drivers• Availability of high yielding varieties more resistant to pest and diseases• More profitable market prices. • Less productive land
Lushoto (Tanzania)
Changes in land use and crop management- introduction of new, higher yielding crop varieties of
maize, beans and tomatoes
- switching to disease resistant varieties of cassava, bananas and maize

Weather related reasons for Δ Crop/ mngt change
↘ overall rainfall (88%)↗ erratic rainfall (75%)↗ frequent droughts (71%)
Adoption of shorter cycle and drought tolerant crop varieties
Earlier start of the rains (77%) Planting earlier (maize) Switching to disease resistant varieties (maize cassava,
bananas)
Later start of rains (65%) Planting crops later (beans and cassava)
↗ overall rain (39%) Maize, beans and tree based crops (peaches, apples and coffee) planted years to utilize the increased moisture

Examples:
Spraying was reported as a men’s task, and
Weeding mainly as a women’s task

Overall, men and women tend to report that they themselves do most of the tasks

Decision-Making
Across all 4 sites:
Women report that men make most decisions
Men report more decisions are taken jointly

Let’s ask the scientist?
What happens to staples in Africa?
14
Led by
Impacts on staples in SSA
Crops affected differently.
Regional differences in impacts.
We have uncertainty.
16
Led by
Cassava’s role as a substitution cropCassava as a fallback crop under an uncertain climate (risk management)
Cassava as the substitution crop for other staples more sensitive to heat and drought
What are the socio-cultural constraints to a shift in staple, and how can this shift be most effectively made?

Wicked solutions across scales and disciplines
• Global and regional scale problem diagnosis feeding into local and
national lead solutions
• Some examples:
• Vulnerability assessment identifying entry points
• Local learning processes
• Towards better national level plans and strategies

Wicked solutions across scales and disciplines
• Local, landscape, national, regional and global scale – make sense of the trade-offs and drivers between these
• Science stitching pieces together, without getting lost in the complexity –hopping between disciplines and scales
• Plug scientific insights into the policy environment to achieve wide-scale climate smart agricultural adoption
