  abstract = {{T}he future of {W}est {A}frica depends on the capacity of its agriculture to ensure the food security of the population, which should double in the next 20 years, while  facing up to the new risks resulting from climate warming. {I}ndeed, the changes in temperature and precipitations already operating and that should become more marked will have serious effects on agricultural production and water resources in this part of {A}frica in the near future. {O}ne of the keys to meeting this new challenge is the adaptation of rural societies to climate risks. {T}o gain better knowledge of the potential, processes and barriers, this book analyses recent and ongoing trends in the climate and the environment and examines how rural societies perceive and integrate them: what are the impacts of these changes, what vulnerabilities are there but also what new opportunities do they bring ? {H}ow do the populations adapt and what innovations do they implement - while the climate-induced effects interact with the social, political, economic and technical changes that are in motion in {A}frica ? {B}y associating {F}rench and {A}frican scientists (climatologists, agronomists, hydrologists, ecologists, demographers, geographers, anthropologists, sociologists and others) in a multidisciplinary approach, the book makes a valuable contribution to better anticipation of climatic risks and the evaluation of {A}frican societies to stand up to them.},
