Agricultural and Climate Change Adaptation Law in Africa: Reflections from Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa: Earthscan Food and Agriculture
Autor Habib Sani Usmanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 feb 2025
As one of the biggest contributing industries to climate change, agricultural adaptation is key. Focusing on three countries, this book provides a novel, comparative examination of how and to what extent the law promotes agriculture-focused adaptation in these regions. The role of the law in addressing issues such as water management strategies, soil conservation methods and crop production methods are discussed. The book identifies gaps in the regulatory frameworks for agricultural adaptation and highlights the lack of adaptive capacity of African agriculture due to weak or non-existing legal frameworks. It discusses ways to remedy these gaps through specific on-farm adaptation strategies, legislative amendments to consolidate all relevant national climate change-related policies and laws with agricultural policies and laws that have relevant provisions on adaptation as medium-term solutions, and the development of a specific framework law for agriculture-focused adaptation, incorporating essential agricultural-adaptation strategies, could perhaps be enacted as long-term solutions to the regulatory gaps.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of law, climate change, food and agriculture, sustainable development and African studies.
