“…Analysis by [55] revealed that daily minimum temperatures will increase more rapidly than daily maximum temperatures leading to the increase in the daily mean temperatures and a greater likelihood of extreme events and these changes could have detrimental effects on grain yield. If these changes in temperature are expected to occur over the next 30 years then understanding the potential impacts on plant growth and development will help develop adaptation strategies to offset these impacts [56,57].…”

Climate change is a serious threat to agriculture and food security. Extreme weather conditions and changing patterns of precipitation lead to a decrease in the crop productivity. High temperatures and uncertain rainfall decrease the grain yield of crops by reducing the length of growing period. Future projections show that temperature would be increased by 2.5°C up to 2050. The projected rise in temperature would cause the high frequent and prolong heat waves that can decline the crop production. The rise in temperature results in huge reduction in yield of agronomic crops. Sustaining the crop production under changing climate is a key challenge. Therefore, adaptation measures are required to reduce the climate vulnerabilities. The adverse effect of climate change can be mitigated by developing heat tolerant cultivars and some modification in current production technologies. The development of adaptation strategies in context of changing climate provides the useful information for the stakeholders such as researchers, academia, and farmers in mitigating the negative effects of climate change.

“…Burkina Faso has a semi-arid tropical climate divided into three climatic zones: Sahelian in the North, Sahelo-Sudanese in the middle, Sudanese in the South (Abdoulaye et al, 2017). The Hauts Bassins region is located in the Sudanese climatic zone, the least hot and the wettest area.…”

Background: Malaria is endemic in the Hauts Bassins Health Region, making it necessary to detect epidemics. Though malaria is a climatic sensitive disease, the association between malaria occurrence and climate is not well known in the Hauts Bassins Health Region. The study sought to detect malaria epidemics and assess the correlation of malaria cases with climate. Methods: A secondary analysis of ecological data from the National Health Information System (NHIS) and the General Directorate of Meteorology of Burkina Faso was conducted. Mean, quartiles and cumulative sum methods were performed to set epidemic thresholds. Correlation between malaria and climatic factors in the health region was assessed using Spearman's test. A Mann-Whitney test determined the association of malaria transmission seasons with climatic variables, at 5%. Kruskal-Wallis test evaluated the relationship between malaria and the years of the occurrence, at a 5% significance level. Results: From 2013 to 2016, 2,521,789 malaria cases were reported in the region, with a mean incidence of 269 cases per 10,000 people. The annual incidence increased from 2,048 cases per 10,000 people in 2013 to 5,277 cases per 10,000 people in 2016. Regardless of the method used, cases were high in 2016, with few exceptions. There was a weak negative correlation between malaria and minimum (r=-0,292; p-value=0.044) and maximum (r=-0,391; p-value=0.006) temperatures. The relationship between relative humidity and malaria was positive and weak (r=0,304; p-value=0.036). Lowest temperatures and highest relative humidity simultaneously drove malaria within-year variability during the high transmission season. Conclusion: Malaria incidence increased unexpectedly in 2016. Malaria endemicity hides a within-year and year-to-year variability, partially driven by the temperature, relative humidity and rainfall.

“…The annual mean relative humidity is about 80% in the south and 55% in the north (ASECNA, 2010). The climatic limiting factor for plant growth is rainfall which is generally tending to diminish with increasing variation between years for most West African countries (Kagoné, 2000;Adjolohoun, 2008;Diarra et al, 2017). These characteristics have to be taken into account in research and development programs so as to anticipate food and forage crises.…”

This paper reviews some characteristics of crop-livestock production systems in Benin with a special focus on the issues for enhance pasture production and nutritive value which in turn will increase animal productivity. Benin is located in the Gulf of Guinea of the Atlantic Ocean in West Africa and covers 114,763 km 2. The population estimated in 2017 is 10,900,000 inhabitants with an annual population growth rate of 3.5%. The country is primarily an agro-based economy, characterized by subsistence agricultural production that employs more than 70%. The climate ranges from the bimodal rainfall equatorial type in the south to the tropical unimodal monsoon type in the north. The climatic limiting factor for plant growth is rainfall which is generally tending to diminish with increasing variation between years. There are two main soil types in Benin (ferruginous and ferralitic). Based on a national livestock survey in 2016 the national herd is estimated to be 2 339 000 cattle (Bos taurus or B. indicus), 915 000 sheep (Ovis aries), 1 836 000 goat (Capra hircus), 466 000 swine (Sus scrofa), 2 000 equines (Equus caballus), 800 donkeys (E. asinus), 20 camels (Camelus dromedarius) and 20 000 000 poultry (mainly Numida meleagris). The growth of the ruminant livestock improvement has been impeded by several constraints such as low feed supply in quantity and quality, low crop-livestock integration, low level of management practices, lack of improved breeding stock, disease, inadequate stock water, poor marketing and lack of capital. Zootechnical performances of animals are very low. In this context, the introduction of legume forage would be a sustainable way as it can enhance pasture production and nutritive value which in turn will increase animal productivity.
