Many studies have found the influences of crop and livestock production vary considerably, not only regionally but also according to production system (Robinson et al. 2011). Globally, but particularly in Africa and Asia, crops and livestock are often interdependent and influence farmer household...

To effectively adapt to climate change, farmers, governments, and other stakeholders must understand the potential effects on crop and livestock production.


Thornton, Philip K.[Impacts of Climate Change on length of growing period.]Impacts of Climate Change on length of growing period.

In Africa, where most agriculture is rainfed, crop growth is limited by water availability. Rainfall variability during a growing season generally translates into variability in crop production. While the seasonality of rainfall in the drier rangelands can play a significant role in productivity,...
