About the Organization

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) envisions a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty in the region. Despite the region's many successes, it remains home to a large share of the world's poor: 263 million living on less than $1.90 a day and 1.1 billion on less than $3.20 a day.

About the Call for Papers

The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) is seeking papers on climate-smart agriculture, with a focus on its adoption, impacts, and sustainable development implications in Asia and globally. The aim is to identify keys to boosting sustainable agricultural production and rural development to guide policy design and promote the farm sector’s climate resilience. Authors of selected papers will be invited to present their work during a virtual ADBI conference. Selected papers will also be considered for inclusion in a special issue of Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, an SCI journal with a current impact factor of 3.926.

Paper topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Climate-Smart Agriculture Adoption

• Drivers and barriers
• Farmers’ awareness and willingness to pay
• Socio-demographic characteristics and climate-smart agricultural practices
• The role of development measures and entities (e.g., government programs, collective action, and farmer organizations) in promoting climate-smart agricultural practices

Climate-Smart Agriculture Impacts

• Farm economic performance (e.g., crop yield, revenue, productivity, efficiency, production diversity, quality upgrading, and production risks)
• Agri-food system transformation
• Climate-smart agriculture cost-benefit analysis
• Rural livelihoods (e.g., income, consumption, food security, nutrition intake, and dietary diversity)
• Subjective well-being (e.g., happiness, life satisfaction, and loneliness)
• Gender empowerment and intra-household decision-making (e.g., labor allocation and migration)
• Gender-differentiated outcomes
• Farmers’ climate change resilience
