Abstract/Description

Planning robust climate-smart development programs can be done today with existing information. We propose a risk-household-option modeling approach to address household food security under climate change in Africa. Through a case study in Niger, we demonstrate that prioritizing CSA is possible by taking into account livelihood status, risks, and potential effects of CSA practices.
