Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Water Use Efficiency, Water Quality, And Irrigation -- Chapter 3: Current Climate, Soil And Natural Vegetation -- Chapter 4: The Geography Of Agriculture In Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 5: Energy Use Efficiency In Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 6: Traditional And Industrial Farming Practices -- Chapter 7: Biodiversity And Ecosystem Services -- Chapter 8: Ecology-Based Concepts Of Sustainable Agriculture -- Chapter 9: Biodiversity Conservation -- Chapter 10: Farm Health: Crop Health, Animal Health And Food Quality -- Chapter 11: Post-Harvest Handling Technologies -- Chapter 12: Climate Change Mitigation Strategies And Carbon Storage In Agricultural Systems -- Chapter 13: Climate Change And Its Consequences On Future Agriculture In Sub-Saharan Africa.

This book emphasizes the critical importance of agroecological practices as a response to the climate crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. It explores the intricate relationship between agriculture, ecosystems, and climate, advocating for the transformation of farming systems to ensure long-term sustainability. Through research, case studies, and practical examples, the book showcases the potential of agroecology in addressing the impacts of climate change. Sustainable practices such as biodiversity conservation, resource preservation, soil fertility enhancement, and greenhouse gas emission reduction are extensively discussed, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the topic. The book also highlights success stories from various countries in sub-Saharan Africa, aiming to inspire farmers, policymakers, and practitioners to adopt and sustain change. It acknowledges the vulnerabilities faced by smallholder farmers in the region and emphasizes the integration of traditional knowledge with scientific advancements. This integration is seen as essential in providing farmers with the necessary resources, information, and capacity-building opportunities to adapt to changing climatic conditions. The book emphasizes the need for collaboration and innovation among governments, research institutions, civil society organizations, and local communities to promote sustainable agricultural development. Ultimately, the book advocates for sustainable agroecological practices as a means to achieve food security, enhance ecosystem resilience, and foster rural development in sub-Saharan Africa. By adopting climate-friendly agricultural approaches and maintaining ecological balance, it envisions a future where communities thrive, ecosystems flourish, and the impacts of climate change are mitigated. The target audience for this book includes students, agroecology experts, farmers, policymakers, and agricultural practitioners who are interested in the subject matter.
