Agriculture, probably the most climate-dependent human activity, is both a victim and responsible for climate change, but can also be a solution to the climate change crisis. In Africa, the challenge for agriculture is to ensure food and nutritional security for the population, a pledge of social peace and sustainable development in a context of climate change Indeed, agricultural production from predominant family farms remains mainly rainfed. As a result, it is highly dependent on climatic risks caused by global warming, which are, among other things, rising temperatures, lower atmospheric precipitation, the delay in the onset of rains at the start of the agricultural season, pockets of drought, stopping early rains, flooding
