Taming the climate for the sake of agricultural production

The extremes of weather conditions cause severe disruptions to agricultural production systems, the environment, and the biodiversity that supports food production systems.

This phenomenon of climate change is expected to complicate efforts in finding solutions to the problem of Africa's agriculture to match the needs of a growing population.

The Africa Union Commission and partners have been looking into options that can turn climate challenges into opportunities.

The Fourth Conference on Climate Change and Development in Africa (CCDA-IV) recently held in Marrakesh, Morocco, interrogated climate smart agriculture as an emotive issue to sustainably increase productivity.

Kofi Adu Domfeh in this report engages interest groups on how Africa can feed itself in the face of climate change.
