The Volta River Basin (VRB) is an important transboundary basin in
West Africa that covers approximately 410,000 square kilometres
across six countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana,
Mali and Togo. Its natural resources sustain the livelihoods of its
population and contribute to economic development. This book
provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary review and assessment
of the issues and challenges faced. The authors provide a
science-based assessment of current and future scenarios of water
availability, the demands of key sectors, including agriculture and
hydropower, and the environment under changing demographic,
economic, social and climatic conditions. They also identify
solutions and strategies that will allow available water resources
to be sustainably used to improve agricultural productivity, food
security and economic growth in the VRB. Overall, the work examines
from a multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder perspective the
solutions and strategies to improve the use of water and other
natural resources in the VRB to achieve enhanced food security,
livelihoods and economic growth.
Knowledge of Africa's complex farming systems, set in their
socio-economic and environmental context, is an essential
ingredient to developing effective strategies for improving food
and nutrition security. This book systematically and
comprehensively describes the characteristics, trends, drivers of
change and strategic priorities for each of Africa's fifteen
farming systems and their main subsystems. It shows how a farming
systems perspective can be used to identify pathways to household
food security and poverty reduction, and how strategic
interventions may need to differ from one farming system to
another. In the analysis, emphasis is placed on understanding
farming systems drivers of change, trends and strategic priorities
for science and policy. Illustrated with full-colour maps and
photographs throughout, the volume provides a comprehensive and
insightful analysis of Africa's farming systems and pathways for
the future to improve food and nutrition security. The book is an
essential follow-up to the seminal work Farming Systems and Poverty
by Dixon and colleagues for the Food and Agriculture Organization
(FAO) of the United Nations and the World Bank, published in 2001.
