Climate change affects food security in West Africa in diverse and often complex ways. It not only affects food availability through its impacts on crop yields and livestock productivity, but also shifts in agricultural potentials due to climate change will have profound effects on crop and livestock choices and consequently on local food value chains.
This collection of papers serves as a source of the latest research on climate change and its impacts on food security in West Africa, focusing on climate change impacts as well as on innovative and cutting-edge solutions and insights for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
This volume was presented at the Conference on Climate Change and Food Security in West Africa, jointly organized by the Center for Development Research (ZEF) at the University of Bonn, and the WASCAL Climate Change Economics Graduate Studies Program, hosted by the University Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar.
