Options of making livestock production in West Africa “climate-smart”
Quantifying the magnitude and significance of climate change variables over space and time in Africa is challenging due to sparse distribution of weather stations and poor quality of existing data. Time series climate data generated from remote sensing platforms could provide plausible alternativ...

There is general consensus that the impacts of climate change on agriculture will add significantly to the development challenges of ensuring food security and reducing poverty, particularly in Africa. It is often assumed that these changes will influence agriculture at a broad scale, such that r...
