GCRF-AFRICAP knowledge-sharing seminar
Todd and Christine work on ICRAF’s Thematic Research Area Land Health Decisions (LHD), an interdisciplinary team including a diverse range of expertise from soil to decision science. Their seminar/webinar will examine mainstreaming climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in sub-Saharan Africa by a) showcasing experiences of conducting and disseminating CSA research in Africa and b) presenting the team’s flagship knowledge product, the CSA Compendium, a meta-dataset compiled to explore questions around the ‘climate-smartness’ of agricultural technologies
This event is open to all as part of a two day pump-priming visit to spur collaborations between the University of Leeds and ICRAF on CSA. For further information, contact h.coskeran@leeds.ac.uk. Please register here
