Soil and water conservation measures are critical to offsetting the impact of climate change on agriculture in sub-Saharan countries. The effectiveness of such measures in differing farming systems has been examined under a USAID Global Climate Change (GCC) project, in the Mopti region of Mali, that aims to address farmers and community perceptions of causes and effects of climate change and barriers to adoption of the resilient practices paying special attention to gender and farming systems in the region.
