Indeed, 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 Africa in the near future. One of the keys to meeting this new challenge is the adaptation of rural societies to climate risks. To 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 ? How 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 Africa ? By associating French and African 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 African societies to stand up to them. specialized CLIMAT EVOLUTION PRECIPITATION RESSOURCES EN EAU CONSEQUENCE ECOLOGIQUE PRODUCTION AGRICOLE CHANGEMENT SOCIAL ADAPTATION SOCIALE SOCIETE RURALE INNOVATION SYSTEME AGRAIRE PRATIQUE CULTURALE FERTILITE DU SOL FONCIER RURAL ELEVAGE MIGRATION TEMPORAIRE CHANGEMENT CLIMATIQUE RECHERCHE PLURIDISCIPLINAIRE RISQUE CLIMATIQUE IMPACT SUR L'ENVIRONNEMENT IMPACT SOCIOECONOMIQUE CHANGEMENT TECHNIQUE 1950 2010 ZONE SAHELIENNE AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST AFRIQUE SUBSAHARIENNE ZONE SAHELIENNE BENIN SENEGAL NIGER MALI COTE D'IVOIRE MADAGASCAR SAHARA ZONE GUINEENNE ZONE SOUDANOSAHELIENNE 021ENVECO 021CLIMAT01 098RURAL1 076AGRO02 080PROANI 108MIGRA Marseille IRD 2017 432 432 432 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010074961 978-2-7099-2424-5 [F A010074961] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010074961 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers19-05/010074961.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-01-09 2019-06-04 fdi:010074961 fre
