Contents; Contributors; Foreword; Preface; Acknowledgements; SECTION I: FRAMEWORK FOR ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE; 1 Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation Strategies at Farm-level: A Retrospection; 2 Analytical Framework and Methodologies for Analysing Farm-level Vulnerability; SECTION II: EVALUATING IMPACTS AND ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE; 3 What's in Store for Asia: Making Sense of Changes in Climate Trends; 4 Changing Climate – Responding to the Inevitable; 5 Climate Change and Food Security in Asia and Africa: Agricultural Futures
6 Evaluating Adaptation Options at Crop Level for Climate Change in the Tropics of South Asia and West Africa7 Scoping Climate Change Adaptation Strategies for Smallholder Farmers in East Africa – A Multi-dimensional, Multi-scenario Impact Assessment; 8 Sustainable Land and Water Management Approaches in Sub-Saharan Africa: Farm-level Analysis of Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation from Sub-Saharan Africa; 9
This book emphasis the role of farm level adaptation as a key in developmental pathways that are challenged by climate risks in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. It throws light on key issues that arise in farm level impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change and discusses Q2 methodological approaches undertaken in study domains of Asia and Africa. The book systematically describes the perceptions, aspirations as elicited/voiced by the farmers and identifies determinants of adaptation decisions. Chapters identify constraints and opportunities that are translated into indicative intervention recommendations towards climate resilient farm households in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. Furthermore, it discusses with evidences that contributes to the development of livelihood strategy for poor farmers in Asia (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and China) and Africa (Burkina Faso, Niger, Kenya and Ghana).
