  • This study is the first of its kind to quantify possible effects of climate change onrice production in Africa. We simulated impacts on rice in irrigated systems (dry sea-son and wet season) and rainfed systems (upland and lowland). We simulated theuse of rice varieties with a higher temperature sum as adaptation option. We simu-lated rice yields for 4 RCP climate change scenarios and identified causes of yielddeclines.

  • In this study, we analyse the impact of climate change on the potential for increasing rainfed cropping intensity through sequential cropping and irrigation expansion in central Benin.The results also show that the irrigation potential of the watershed will be at least halved by mid-century in all scenario combinations. Given the urgent need to increase crop production to meet the demands of a growing population in SSA, our study outlines challenges and the need for planned development that need to be overcome to improve food security in the coming decades.
