Climate change adaptation options to inform planning of agriculture and food systems in The Gambia: A systematic approach for stocktaking by Segnon, Alcade C, Zougmoré, Robert B., Green, Rosemary, Ali, Zakari, Carr, Tony W, Houessionon, Prosper, M'boob, Sulayman, Scheelbeek, Pauline

“…The paucity of evidence from The Gambia and the highly contextual and differential impacts of the identified adaptation options underscore the importance of careful consideration of barriers and enablers when developing and deploying policy and interventions to sustainably increase productivity and income while building resilience to climate risks and reducing GHGs emissions. Stakeholder engagement and participatory research action are crucial in selecting and testing the priority adaptation options which can maximize their potentials in specific agricultural and food system contexts, such as in The Gambia. …”

Circular bioeconomy business models - energy recovery from agricultural waste: cases from Kenya and Burkina Faso by Gebrezgabher, Solomie A., Taron, Avinandan, Odero, J., Sanfo, S., Ouédraogo, Ramata, Salack, S., Diarra, K., Ouédraogo, S., Ojungobi, K.

“…Recovering energy helps to (i) reduce greenhouse emissions by reducing environmental pollution from unwanted biomasses otherwise being burnt in the field; (ii) improve energy efficiency in heating systems from renewable energy sources; (iii) introduce renewable energy by substituting carbon neutral biomass for hydro-carbons (coal, heavy oil and gas); and (iv) Recycle ash residues or slurry as a fertilizer. …”
