Africa today and presenting a growing challenge in the region, as in many
other parts of the African continent and elsewhere. Climate change will
have far-reaching consequences for the poor and marginalized groups among
which the majority depend on agriculture for their livelihoods and have a
lower capacity to adapt. Weather-related crop failures, fishery collapses, and
livestock deaths in addition to losses of property are already causing economic
losses and undermining food security in West Africa. This situation is likely
to become more desperate and to threaten the survival of the majority of poor
farmers as global warming continues. Feeding the increasing populations in
a subregion with one of the highest rates of population growth in the world
requires radical transformation of a largely underdeveloped agriculture over
the next four decades. A major challenge is increasing agricultural production
among resource-poor farmers without exacerbating environmental problems
and simultaneously coping with climate change...","2013","published","IFPRI’s climate change in Africa series",,,,"International Food Policy Research Institute","Washington","383-391","408",,,,,,,,,,"TRUE","978-0-89629-204-8",,"West African agriculture and climate change: A comprehensive analysis","Jalloh","A","","","",,"","",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
