Africa and climate change: Perceptions of farmers' strategies. Climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa: farmers' perceptions and strategies.

      Аннотация: Since the dawn of history, man has adapted to and modified his environment. With the development of the industrial era, the consequences of these modifications have accelerated to such an extent that today the climate system has been altered. We are now faced with anthropogenic global warming, and despite attempts to mitigate it through the adoption and ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, we are still a long way from achieving the targets we set ourselves. These phenomena can be slow, imperceptible on a human scale, but some episodes can manifest themselves more locally and more significantly. Their effects can be directly felt by populations, who will necessarily have to adapt to the new environmental state. But how have farming communities responded to environmental and climatic change?
