Introduction

In the light of the impact of extreme weather events, declining agricultural productivity and child malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa, this book explores the potential for sustainable agriculture to better respond to climate-related threats. By presenting a case study of Senegal, the author offers insights into the impact of climate change on long-term crop production, food security, and child malnutrition.

Key Topics

Furthermore, the study sheds new light on the financialization of agricultural production and foreign direct investments, discusses policy instruments and adaptation strategies for implementing sustainable agriculture, and highlights the role of green financing instruments to enable the harmonization of private financing and green infrastructure.

Target Audience

It will appeal to scholars of agricultural and development economics, and anyone interested in climate risk mitigation strategies and sustainable agriculture to achieve a green transition in sub-Saharan Africa.
