Climate Change and Farming Strategies in North Benin analyzes the impact of climate change on agriculture in the municipality of Malanville, highlighting the vulnerability of farmers to climatic risks such as floods, droughts, strong winds and extreme temperatures, which seriously affect agricultural production and food security. To face these challenges, local communities adopt various adaptation strategies, although these often prove to be ineffective. It is therefore crucial to develop specific adaptation strategies to strengthen the resilience of rural populations, integrating sustainable agricultural practices, income diversification and access to innovative agricultural technologies. At the same time, the second article examines the commercialization of wood energy in the municipality of Karimama, where wood is becoming the main fuel due to the lack of access to other energy sources. This commercialization is seen as a driver of socio-economic development, improving the living conditions of local populations.
