Description
West African smallholder farming systems are complex, dynamic systems with many interacting bio-physical subcomponents. The location of farm-households within different agro-ecological zones determines not only their cropping decisions, but also the magnitude and quality of changes in climate conditions. The combined effects across farm-types and agro-ecological zones within certain districts are likely to cause temporal shortages of agricultural commodities on the respective markets, thus affecting also non-rural parts of the society.
