A cela, il convient d’ajouter les menaces de famine qui se traduisent par la prolongation des périodes de soudure, les déplacements saisonniers des paysans en quête d’espaces plus accueillants et la modification des habitudes culturales. Les impacts des changements se traduisent aussi par la perte des récoltes liée aux calamités telles que les inondations, la sécheresse, les feux de brousse qui sont d’origine climatique.

To this should be added the threat of famine, which is reflected in the extension of the hunger gap, the seasonal displacement of farmers in search of more welcoming areas and the modification of farming habits. The impacts of the changes are also reflected in the loss of harvests due to calamities such as floods, drought and bush fires, all of which are climatic in origin.
