  abstract = {{A}grobiodiversity, encompassing crop diversity and the biodiversity that supports agricultural system functioning, plays a major role in agriculture in the context of climate change. {T}his is all the more true in regions like {W}est {A}frica, where population growth is strong and economic resources are limited. {G}lobal models predict average yield loss for major crops of 11% in {W}est {A}frica by the 2050s. {M}oreover, climate niches of {A}frican crops are expected to shift significantly, reinforcing the need to adapt agricultural diversity and practices. {A} better use of agrobiodiversity, relying on improved understanding and knowledge of its characteristics, would support greater adaptation and resilience of {A}frican agrosystems and food security. {A}grobiodiversity, from gene to landscape, is key to achieving food security in the face of the erratic effects of climate change. {T}his chapter highlights novel strategies for agrobiodiversity management and use, while building sustainable and resilient agrosystems for the future of {W}est {A}frica.},
