The book "Rainfall and Agriculture in Central West Africa since 1930" offers a comprehensive analysis of the variable rainfall patterns in the sub-Saharan region of West Africa and their impacts on agriculture. It examines the relationship between rainfall and crop yields, as well as the effects on societies and economies. By comparing various environmental policies, it becomes clear that rainfall is the critical factor for agricultural productivity. The study's findings emphasize the need to integrate seasonal rainfall forecasts into agricultural planning and to consider climatic aspects in the development of environmental policies. This academic book is aimed at researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the interactions between climate and agriculture in this important region.
