Climate change, poverty, and low environmental education have contributed to increasing vulnerability of poor farmers in Mali. This study was done to determine the impact of low-cost adaptation strategies on resilience and welfare.

Africa RISING (AR) initiatives in Mali were implemented in Bougouni, Yanfolila, and Koutiala cercles (administrative units) in the Sikasso region of the country.

This study evaluates the impact of Africa RISING, a sustainable intensification (SI) program, implemented in Bougouni, Yanfolila, and Koutiala cercles in southern Mali beginning in 2012.

In this chapter, we examine this nexus, focusing on the food security function of food systems, and build the evidence base for policymakers to mainstream climate risk and adaptation solutions in food system transformation efforts.

Managing biotic stress, such as pests, diseases, and weeds, remain critical in enhancing the productivity of agrifood systems in developing countries, including Nigeria.

This study investigated the trait preferences for cassava in the context of climate change and conflict stressors among value-chain actors in Nigeria to strengthen social inclusion and the community-resilience outcomes from breeding programs.

Key Highlights:

Climate change poses a greater threat for more exposed and vulnerable countries, communities and social groups.

This study investigates regional development and internal migration dynamics within the context of modern structural transformation in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Africa, a continent of immense potential, stands at a crucial juncture.

This is the sixth Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM), an annual flagship publication of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and AKADEMIYA2063.

Against the background of worldwide trade disruptions and climate change impacts, the 2023 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor explores recent trends and patterns in Africa’s global and regional agricultural trade.

Cotton production and trade have a long history and important role in Africa, dating back centuries before the colonial period.

The potential for profitable groundwater irrigated area development in Nigeria is 5.04 million hectares (ha), almost all of it located in the country’s central and northern states.

This is a joint IFPRI-WFP study on the drivers, profile, and risks of irregular migration in the West Africa context.

This paper presents the findings from an experimental study designed to assess the impacts of one-time large lump sum cash transfers on welfare and coping strategies of smallholders in climate-risk and conflict-affected communities in northeast Ni

In the face of climate change and extreme weather events which continue to have significant impacts on agricultural production, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has emerged as one important entry point in reducing the emission of greenhouse gases a

Food security in West Africa has been deteriorating since 2015: The proportion of the population affected by undernutrition rose from 11.5% in 2015 to 18.7% in 2020, a total of 75.2 million people.

The current rise in global market prices for major food commodities almost mirrors that of the 2008 food crisis, presenting a worldwide threat to food security.
