Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) FAO Climate Change and Food Systems Resilience in Africa

Explore how agricultural production can work in harmony with the biosphere through this specialized volume from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book examines the potential for building food systems resilience across Sub-Saharan Africa, a region that faces significant challenges from climate change. Based on the 2008 Conference on Ecological Agriculture held in Ethiopia, the text provides deep insights into sustainable practices. It includes detailed observations from field visits to the Tigray region, which transitioned from severe hunger in the 1980s to being largely food secure today. This transformation serves as a practical example of how ecological agriculture can support regional stability. Readers will gain a better understanding of how Africa can address food security while protecting the natural environment. This work is an essential resource for those studying the connection between climate shifts and agricultural stability in developing continents.
