Abstract
This study assesses the impact of climate change (CC) adaptation on farm-level revenue among 500 soybean farmers randomly selected in three districts in Togo using endogenous switching regression m...
Highlights
Climate change (CC) is a phenomenon that generate the positive externalities in food production systems (Deschênes & Greenstone, 2007; Mendelsohn et al, 1994) and a negative effects that could weight heavily on population that rely on activities directly related to weather conditions (Adger et al, 2005)
In sub-Saharan Africa, the status of food insecurity is projected to increase by 15% to 40% as a result of CC (Di Falco, 2014)
Adaptation strategies to climate change Diverse strategies have been adopted by soybean farmers to increase the expected yield as a result of an observed change of climate pattern (Table 2)
Summary
Climate change (CC) is a phenomenon that generate the positive externalities in food production systems (Deschênes & Greenstone, 2007; Mendelsohn et al, 1994) and a negative effects that could weight heavily on population that rely on activities directly related to weather conditions (Adger et al, 2005). According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), global warming has led to the change in rainfall patterns, the increase of extreme weather events, such as floods and drought. All these events contribute to the deterioration of human health as well as increasing food insecurity status. In sub-Saharan Africa, the status of food insecurity is projected to increase by 15% to 40% as a result of CC (Di Falco, 2014). Parry et al (2007) have indicated that within other regions in the world, the Sub-Saharan region could be the most affected area as a result of CC. Ali (2018) found that cereals production in Togo is negatively affected by CC
