Abstract

Currently, agriculture in Africa contributes only a tenth to global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture. Despite its relatively low contribution to GHG, a conundrum of "climate justice", adverse impacts of climate change disproportionately threaten Africa's agriculture, the Continent's main economic sector. Consequently, we seek to review the effects of climate change on Agriculture.
