Simelton E, Aus der Beek R, Duong TM, Le TT, Le XH, Madsen EJ, Nguyen YT, Noorlander J. 2019. Participatory agro-climate information services: A key component in climate resilient agriculture. CCAFS Policy Brief No. 13. Wageningen, the Netherlands: CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS).

The brief promotes participatory agro-climate information services as a key component in achieving climate-smart agriculture. The brief emphasizes that actionable agro-climate information starts with—and responds to—gender-based needs of farmers, integrated at all stages of the value chain.
