Stratégies d'adaptation des producteurs agricoles aux risques hydroclimatiques dans le bassin Béninois de la pendjari à l'exutoire de Porga

<p>West Africa's dependence on the increased impacts of extreme hydroclimatic hazards increases the vulnerability of food production to the resulting risks. This study analyses the adaptation strategies developed by agricultural producers in the Beninese Pendjari basin to cope with hydroc...
