Learn about current SAMPLES-related projects

The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security (CCAFS) recently published information about its ongoing projects online. Greenhouse gas emissions quantification activities (link to https://ccafs.cgiar.org/themes/quantifying-agricultural-emissions) conducted through CCAFS are adapted to the needs and geographies of each region. For example, CCAFS is targeting livestock, coffee and cocoa in Latin America, and rice production systems in Southeast Asia. Data includes calculations of the biophysical and socio-economic feasibility of mitigation in intensified agricultural systems, including for women and marginalized groups. The following projects are associated with SAMPLES.
