TL;DR: In this paper, a typology of spillover systems based on six criteria: flows from and to sending and receiving systems, distances from sender and receiver, types of spill over effects, sizes of spill-over systems, roles of agents in spillover system, and the origin of spillovers are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, an ensemble of 17 crop models was used to simulate a total of 54 adaptation options for rainfed winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) at Lleida (NE Spain).
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural productivity in relation to climate and cropland management in West Africa
TL;DR: The combined effect of rainfall, land surface temperature and solar radiation explains approximately 40% of the variation in cropland productivity over West Africa at the 95% significance level, and the largest proportions of croplands with greening and browning trends were observed in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso.

TL;DR: The new EOA index effectively measures the confidence level of recommendations on adaptation of wheat in the Mediterranean and can be applied to assess confidence in many other contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural land acquisitions unlikely to address the food security needs of African countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the potential extent to which agricultural land deals in Africa are able to address the host countries' food security needs, a commonly cited motivation for their establishment, and find that even when their purpose is agricultural production, most LSLA are not likely to improve food security; rather, they often serve the financial interests of transnational companies and local elites with the support of host governments.
