Beyond Agricultural Impacts: Multiple Perspectives on Climate Change in Africa

Beyond Agricultural Impact presents the theories and methods commonly applied in climate change assessment from various locations in Africa and then goes further, inspiring further research to address the broad spectrum of societal impacts that result from altered climate status. Using case studies, the work provides insights into climate change impacts and adaptation with a lens on vulnerable groups in African agriculture e.g. smallholder crop and livestock farmers, women and youth. It also highlights areas of further interest in climate change and agriculture research in Africa. This is all done through views from multiple disciplines in the agriculture and climate change nexus. Presents themes, theories, tools and methods for mitigating the impact of climate change in African agricultureHighlights the research gaps and opportunities in research on the climate change and agricultureUses examples and cases to provide insights into shaping future researchProvides insights from African countries including Lesotho, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda, Ghana and Cameroon INDICE: 1.
