Agriculture paysanne et stratégies d’adaptation au changement climatique au Nord-Bénin

Adaptation to hazards and risk management are both important considerations in most traditional land systems. As a matter of fact, global climate change is locally manifested through the evolutions which modify production conditions. This study is about understanding the strategies developed by the...
