The role of product diversification in enhancing market vendor adaptability and food-system resilience in Senegal, West Africa
Severe food insecurity in Senegal, exacerbated by climate shocks and weak infrastructure, underscores the need to understand the role of market vendors in food system resilience. Unlike producers, vendors remain understudied despite their central role in food access. This mixed-methods study examines how product diversity, measured using the Shannon-Wiener index, influences Market Vendor Adaptive Capacity (MVAC) among 691 vendors in Sedhiou and T…
African perspectives on climate change research
Social Process of Adaptation to Environmental Changes
Studies on climate change can only be conducted on a long time scale, and observing how societies adapt their sowing practices to climate variability is challenging and costly. As an alternative, a space and time substitution design was used, changes in space corresponding to that induced in time by environmental change. On the eastern slope of Mount Kenya, the Tharaka community, originating from the lowlands (750 m), moved up to the midlands (95…
Cropping System Dynamics, Climate Variability, and Seed Losses among East African Smallholder Farmers
Climate variability directly affects traditional low input and rain-fed farming systems, but few studies have paid attention retrospectively to the cropping system’s ability to mitigate climate risk. This study analyzes the impacts of rainfall variability on farmers’ seed variety losses over time, considering changes in smallholder farming systems. The cropping system dynamics, in favoring maize at the expense of sorghum and pearl millet, have in…
