Climate change presents one of the most pressing challenges of the present time, with far-reaching implications for global economies and human socioeconomic well-being.
This study attempted to identify determinants of farmers’ maximum willingness to pay (WTP) for improved use of irrigation water.
This study examines the impact of remoteness on productivity growth among Malawian smallholder farmers.
Cet article analyse les effets des produits forestiers non ligneux (PFNL) sur la pauvreté multidimensionnelle au Burkina Faso. Il s'appuie sur des données primaires collectées auprès de 384 ménages sélectionnés aléatoirement.
Index-based insurance has emerged as a compelling strategy for agricultural risk management in Africa, particularly in contexts where smallholder farmers are disproportionately exposed to climate-related hazards.
The current study investigated the impact of using information and communication technology-based weather information services on the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies.

This study applied the zero-inefficiency stochastic frontier (ZISF) to analyse the technical efficiency of 333 improved rice-farming households for the 2012/2013 farming season in Ghana.
Using nationally representative cross-sectional data, the study investigated the impact of CA adoption through a multivalued treatment framework.
Descriptive statistics show that women with land rights were more empowered, younger, more educated and owned more land than those without land rights.
The hazards and impacts of climate change are exacerbating. They threaten crop productivity, farmers’ resilience and the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Understanding climate-smart agriculture (CSA) and applying it is crucial.

This paper examines the optimal land resource allocation for tree crop enterprises in the Eastern region of Ghana based on data collected from sampled cocoa, oil palm, and rubber farmers.
The literature on what drives crop failure and crop abandonment is scant. This paper explores the interplay between risk factors and crop abandonment. We examine the role of risk sources and risk management strategies in crop abandonment by smallholder maize farmers in Zambia.
En se basant sur les pratiques endogènes de restauration de la fertilité des sols les plus connues dans la région du nord du Burkina Faso, cet article analyse l’adoption de stratégies supplémentaires d’adaptation au changement climatique à l’aide de données primaires collectées auprès de 106 agricultrices.
