note: Th is compendium of studies from Asia and Africa is an outcome of the studies carried out in
these regions at the International Crops Research Institute of the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)
along with project partners. Th e research was spearheaded by the Research Program on
Markets, Institutions and Policies (RP-MIP) at ICRISAT with fi nancial support from the
Asian Development Bank. We are indebted to William Dar, Former Director General and
other scientifi c, technical and administrative staff of ICRISAT for their help and cooperation
at each and every stage of project execution. We are also thankful to all reviewers who
reviewed this manuscript and gave critical comments that helped in improving this book.
abstract: This book emphasis the role of farm level adaptation as a key in developmental pathways that are challenged by climate risks in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. It throws light on key issues that arise in farm level impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change and discusses Q2 methodological approaches undertaken in study domains of Asia and Africa. The book systematically describes the perceptions, aspirations as elicited/voiced by the farmers and identifies determinants of adaptation decisions. Chapters identify constraints and opportunities that are translated into indicative intervention recommendations towards climate resilient farm households in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. Furthermore, it discusses with evidences that contributes to the development of livelihood strategy for poor farmers in Asia (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and China) and Africa (Burkina Faso, Niger, Kenya and Ghana).
