Southern African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis - Botswana
In this chapter we assess the vulnerability of Botswana’s agriculture to climate change, with special emphasis on impacts on the poor. The agriculture sector is inherently vulnerable to climate change, and Botswana’s semiarid climate already severely limits agricultural production. Following a broad overview of current economic and demographic indicators, land use, and agricultural performance, we summarize the current state of institutional policy, programs, and strategies relating to agriculture and climate change.
