Description This Thematic Series on “Climate-Smart Agriculture
Technologies in West Africa: learning from the ground
AR4D experiences” contains seven papers presented by
researchers from four West African countries based on
participatory action research conducted since 2012 in
the region. These research activities were funded by the
CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change Agriculture
and Food Security (CCAFS) through a project titled
“Developing community-based climate-smart agriculture
through participatory action research in CCAFS benchmark
sites in West Africa” (see [1]). This research action
under the scientific lead of the World Agroforestry Centre
(ICRAF) aimed to test and validate, in partnership
with rural communities and other stakeholders, scalable
climate-smart village models for agricultural development
that integrate a range of innovative agricultural risk
management strategies. The project also aimed to enable
farmers, developers, managers and policy makers for the
agriculture sector to develop cost-effective climate-smart
agriculture (CSA) options that support local sustainable
development and enhance livelihood resilience. It is
therefore a response to the challenges (degraded lands,
low crop productivity, high level of poverty for rural people,
etc.) faced to satisfy the food needs of an increasing
population in the face of a changing climate...
