Central to understanding the usefulness of climate and weather forecasts in support of agricultural decision-making is addressing the issue of who receives what information. Many contend that improved climate forecasts since the late 1990s have had limited impact on smallholder farming communitie...

Mali is an agro-forestry-pastoral Sahel country whose economy is based mainly on agriculture,
a sector which nevertheless depends on climate variability and change. Indeed, climate change
and variability affect agriculture, while agriculture and natural resources management also affect
the climat...
