L’agriculture sahélienne depuis son origine est confrontée à la variabilité climatique qui a caractérisé son développement au cours des millénaires et a conduit les agriculteurs à adopter des stratégies fonctionnelles pour minimiser les risques. Dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, l’agrométéorologie s’est développée comme une science appliquée pour soutenir l’agriculture, réduire les risques climatiques et maximiser les opportunités de production. Au Sahel, les applications agrométéorologiques dans l’agriculture ont pris
Climate services are recognized as an essential tool for sustainable development in strategic and climate-sensitive sectors. In developing countries, particularly in Africa, the literature offers successful examples of application, especially in the agricultural sector, which is dramatically sensitive to climate variability and change. While, initially, particular emphasis was placed on the outcomes of these services and the benefits they provide to users, several authors, more recently, have focused their attention
Agrometeorological services are a subset of climate services targeted to support farmers’ tactical and strategic decisions, with the potential to support farmers’ capacity to cope with climate variability and change, as well as strengthen their resilience toward climatic risks. However, the effectiveness of such services is often limited by inadequate and unsuitable means of communication with farmers. Therefore, in recent years, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and partners have focussed

“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living.”

“Do we, as scientists, need to concern ourselves with whether or how the information is used?”
