Agriculture climate change resilience in sub-Saharan Africa: the Badolo scientific framework AgricultureResilience.

Agriculture climate change resilience in sub-Saharan Africa: the Badolo scientific framework AgricultureResilience. Abstract The climate is, in sub-Saharan Africa, one of the main obstacles to the development of agriculture, which is essentially rain-fed. Extreme climatic events have significant impacts on agricultural production, reducing its contribution to economic and social development. Climate change, which will increase the frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events, poses multiple threats to agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa that include loss of development gains, alteration of development prospects and regression dynamics. A response to these threats is an innovation in agricultural resilience policies to accelerate the achievement of agricultural resilience configurations to climate change. In this article, we propose the Badolo AgricultureResilience scientific framework for improving the relevance, efficiency and impact of resilience policies in the agricultural sector to climate change. This framework implements the approach, tools and resilience schemes of the ClimResilience theoretical framework to establish innovative trajectories of resilience to climate change in sub-Saharan Africa for the agricultural sector. It suggests an approach to resilience governed by climate change resilience configurations. It includes families of impacts, vulnerability and resilience solutions that determine the relevance, efficiency and performance of the proposed scientific framework. It integrates an agricultural resilience function to climate change to establish agricultural resilience trajectories, taking into account resilience needs, resilience capacities and contextual specificities. For the agricultural sector in sub-Saharan Africa, the Badolo AgricultureResilience scientific framework is a decision support tool for innovating resilience policies, accelerates the achievement of agricultural resilience configurations and preserve the contributions of agriculture to social and economic development.
