Adapting to Climate Uncertainty in African Agriculture: Narratives and knowledge politics (Pathways to Sustainability)

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges of adaptation in smallholder farming in Africa, exploring the social, economic, political, and climatic uncertainties that impact agriculture in the region.

Drawing on case studies of genetically modified crops, conservation agriculture, and other 'climate smart' solutions in eastern and southern Africa, the book identifies how uncertainties are framed 'from above' as well as experienced 'from below', by farmers themselves.

The author offers a unique perspective on why ideas about adaptation emerge, from whom, and with what implications.

This book is essential reading for students of climate change adaptation, food security, and poverty alleviation, as well as policy-makers and field practitioners in international development and agronomy.
