9781780644639 1780644639 Climate change brings many challenges, and developing a climate-resilient environment is one of the main priorities of the global agricultural research community. National governments and development agencies must work to conserve natural resources, efficiently adapt farming to cope with the effects of climate change, and thereby protect livelihoods and food security. This book emphasises the importance of farm-level adaptation in mitigating against the risks of climate change in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. It highlights the key issues that arise in farm-level impacts, adaptation and vulnerability, and discusses the methodological approaches undertaken in Asia and Africa. Systematically describing the perceptions and aspirations of the farmers themselves, the chapters identify constraints and opportunities and translate these into intervention recommendations. Furthermore, the book discusses livelihood strategies for poor farmers across Asia and Africa. Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches to understand climate change impacts, adaptation options and vulnerability at crop and household level, this book is a valuable reference for development practitioners and researchers of climate change and its consequences. Book jacket., This book emphasis the role of farm level adaptation as a key in developmental pathways that are challenged by climate risks in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. It throws light on key issues that arise in farm level impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change and discusses Q2 methodological approaches undertaken in study domains of Asia and Africa. The book systematically describes the perceptions, aspirations as elicited/voiced by the farmers and identifies determinants of adaptation decisions. Chapters identify constraints and opportunities that are translated into indicative intervention recommendations towards climate resilient farm households in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. Furthermore, it discusses with evidences that contributes to the development of livelihood strategy for poor farmers in Asia (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and China) and Africa (Burkina Faso, Niger, Kenya and Ghana)., This book emphasizes the role of farm level adaptation as a key in developmental pathways that are challenged by climate risks in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa.
