Summary:Africa’s climate, food and agricultural policy agendas are often fragmented and yet their integration is a key requirement for enhancing the continent’s resilience and development outcomes. This research article explores actions to strengthen and better align Africa’s climate adaptation and mitigation responses in the agricultural sector.
