Perception et stratégies d’adaptation aux incertitudes climatiques par les exploitants agricoles des zones marécageuses au Sud-Kivu

Smallholder farming vulnerability to climate change results from its direct dependence on climatic factors (rainfalls, temperatures, solar radiation). In the DR Congo, where 3/4 of the population depends on this type of agriculture, the combined effects of climate change and COVID-19 have been added...
