Climate change is a global phenomenon with growing implications on different aspects of human life. The agricultural sector is tagged as both the source and sink of the greenhouse gases and it is the sector that is most affected by the scourge of destabilization of the climate variables. Prior to the upsurge of the climate change constraints, African agriculture has its intrinsic challenges, ranging from low soil fertility, pests and diseases, low levels literacy and lack of resources to use improved technologies.

The agricultural sector in Africa also suffers a huge investment gap in infrastructure, supportive policies as well as unstructured planning for growth and quality delivery. It is a truism that climate change issues in Africa’s agriculture continue to attract varied innovations across both the physical and digital domains. Greater attention from national governments and regional organizations as well as development partners is needed now to address huge threats of insecurity to our food systems.
