African Climes

Bon! Bienvenue et merci d’avoir cliquer sur mon blog. Comme j’ai promis, c’est le deuxième partie de l’article sur le changement climatique et l’adaptation d’agriculture africaine. Amuse et informe – toi. Adaptation simply means that we have to innovate and come up with ways of living with the present climate change while seeking to stop it from becoming worse. All in all, agriculture must be sustainable. That is, it should be viable and should be something that can be maintained. Here are a few pointers. v Agroforestry is also quite an important way of adapting to climate change and bringing about sustainable development. The idea is really quite simple, you need land to develop but you can’t go around cutting trees neither can you use your land to plant trees instead of crops. So what do you do? You plant trees that are beneficial to you. Fruit trees. Like avocado, mango, apple, coffee, passion fruit trees. Some fast maturing and leafy trees can also be cultivated...

Why is this really important? Well read on and see why. What is climate change? Well first of all, climate is defined as the sum total of weather patterns that have been recorded in a certain area for about 30 years. Climate change then is the strong and continued variance of the expected and predictable weather conditions of that particular area. In talking about climate change, we can mean, a.       Natural climate change which is caused by external things such as volcanic eruptions, changes in Ea rth’s orbit, changes in solar radiation etc b.       Microclimate which is the climate of the immediate surroundingsof a lake, a huge river, a mountain and so on. c.        Anthropogenic (manmade) climate change which is conventionally used to mean global warming.   To be clear though, greenhouse gases cause global warming (the warming of the planet) which causes climate to change. ...
