Reviews

"""Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change in Africa takes a broad view of farming in the face of climate change, building on its succinct definition of sustainability as a balance in agriculture between practices that both mitigate climate change, while also actively adapting to those changes... One of the book's notable conclusions affirms its own recommendations for sustainable yield growth regardless of change as a determinant factor - suggesting that climate-adaptation practices need not be undertaken to the detriment of production."" - Spore (CTA publications)"
