findings from CABMACC project and beyond. The research under the abovementioned project focused primarily in Malawi, and therefore, contributors beyond the
project were invited to cover wider geographical regions and their physical and
social heterogeneities.
This book, Climate Impacts on Agricultural and Natural Resource Sustainability
in Africa, deals with both the natural science and social science aspects, under dwindling natural resources, changing climate, and increasing climate uncertainties in SSA.
We convey our thanks to the successful authors, editors, and reviewers of the
chapters in this book. We believe that the knowledge presented here is a crucial
piece in the ingredients required for sustainable resource management under changing and uncertain climate in SSA.
