This paper uses the Ricardian approach to examine how farmers in 11 countries in Africa have adapted to existing …. Furthermore, it tackles the challenges involved in modeling the effect of climate on agriculture in a study that includes … countries in the northern and southern hemispheres, as well as the tropics. The study confirms that African agriculture is …

The first phase of the study used a version of a … runoff across the whole continent of Africa rather than to any particular catchment or water resource system. The model … Ricardian regressions in other analyses measuring likely impacts of climate change on the agricultural economies of Africa …

Previous Ricardian analyses of agriculture have either omitted irrigation or treated irrigation as though it is … modified Heckman model, is then estimated across 8,400 farmers in Africa. The analysis explicitly models irrigation but … separately in the Ricardian model, irrigation must be modeled endogenously. The results also indicate that African agriculture is …

Overall, these findings imply a strong link between climate and urbanization in Africa …

The objective of this paper is to determine the ability of farmers in Africa to detect climate change, and to ascertain …

This paper examines whether the choice of crops is affected by climate in Africa. Using a multinomial logit model, the …,000 farmers across 11 countries in Africa. The study finds that crop choice is very climate sensitive. For example, farmers select … sorghum and maize-millet in the cooler regions of Africa; maize-beans, maize-groundnut, and maize in moderately warm regions …

This study examines the impact of climate change on cropland in Africa. It is based on a survey of more than 9 …,000 farmers in 11 countries: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Niger, Senegal, South Africa, Zambia, and … located in relatively cool parts of Africa. The study also examined some simple climate scenarios to see how Africa would …

Despite discrepancies and uncertainties in climate model output, the analysis suggests that cropland area in Africa is likely …
