Peer-reviewed academic publications
This list includes selected peer-reviewed academic publications from different members of the PIK working group “Adaptation in Agricultural Systems” since 2020. The publications in this list were either developed closely alongside the AGRICA project or have a high thematic or regional relevance to the project, due to their focus on climate impacts on agriculture and related issues like rural household vulnerability, land tenure and migration in a sub-Saharan African context. If you would like to know more about any of the publications or face difficulties in accessing them, feel free to reach out directly to their respective authors or to Julia Tomalka (tomalka@pik-potsdam.de).
