In developing countries, drought can cripple communities. Its impact is often long-lasting, especially if smallholders have to sell off farming equipment in order to survive the loss of crop income. And in the developed world, drought in a major food-producing region can push up food prices world...

Nature Outlook: Agriculture and Drought. Perspectives: legislating change
In West Africa, especially in the Sahelian countries of Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali and Mauritania, erratic rainfall sequences within and between years has often led to a high uncertainty in rainfed crop production. Over the past three decades, severe food shortages attributed to drought have been ...

Agricultural practices have constantly changed in West Africa, and understanding the factors that have driven the changes may help guide strategies to promote sustainable agriculture in the region. To contribute to such efforts, this paper analyzes drivers of change in farming practices in the re...

Towards developing scalable climate-smart village models: approach and lessons learnt from pilot research in West Africa
In the literature, a lot is discussed about how agroforestry can achieve the mitigation,
adaptation and productivity goals of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). However, this may be relatively
too broad to assess the trade-offs and synergies of how specific agroforestry technologies or practices
ac...
