Agriculture plays a fundamental role for the economies of North African countries, in development territories and fight against poverty. The region faces cereal deficit their supply this material is highly dependent on international markets. During 1990-2010, volume agricultural imports tripled countries. National production remains insufficient to meet growing needs population. Productivity limited by many constraints products will continue play key food security. Among factors involved, climate change responsible drought floods, uncertainty weakness product markets supplying national markets, rising prices. Regional trade cooperation, despite little between industrial agri-food world, could ensure temporary security Africa benefit from complementarity agriculture industries. countries should favor an approach global plural Such integrate objectives development, poverty, sustainable management water resources soils, adaptation change.

Abstract There is a need to address resource security and distributional justice in developing countries. People water, energy, food sustain their livelihoods, grow economies, achieve sustainable development. The interactions between these sectors form the crux of water-energy-food (WEF) nexus assessments. In this study, we have utilised WEF Nexus Index analyse 54 African nations. results from analysis were used illustrate opportunities constraints for future Generally, countries are performing sub-optimally due insecurity energy and/or food. performance varies with context, highlighting contextual identifying challenges potential solutions. Implementation interventions achieving needs be planned an integrated perspective optimise synergies minimize trade-offs. approach towards simultaneous resources has improve nexus. For example many countries, policies that undergird investments supply projects needed unlock available freshwater meet requirements—energy shown critical enabler Such can enhance ability farmers manage water through drought-proofing rainfed agriculture, increase irrigation development, or both. nexus-based studies, policies, must focused on direct indirect achievement SDGs 1, 2, 6, 7, 13, both terms access availability, ensure justice, especially context. actions, combined broad public participation, ripple effect other such as 5, 10, 17, thereby reducing inequalities building partnerships attain aspirational goals. assessment Africa’s relatively low scores does not represent negative narrative. Instead, it provides entry point hotspots understanding underlying challenges, which more detailed analyses lead identified solutions policies.

Climate and LULC changes have a great influence on the hydrological processes which include evapotranspiration, infiltration, surface runoff, groundwater flow, stream discharge regime. This study aims to review existing literature impacts of climate, sustainability irrigation water in West Africa. The future Africa will be driven by strong external factors, such as rapid population growth, climate change, change. annual average temperature is between 25.9 34°C. Rising temperatures affected all sectors, including resources, increased demand, agricultural production. Reduction precipitation reduce river flows increase evaporation due drier atmosphere, thereby reducing amount available reservoirs for irrigation. current demand freshwater purposes expected triple 2050.

In Burundi, a significant portion of the population heavily relies on agriculture for both sustenance and income. However, persistently low agricultural yields place approximately 1.8 million people at immediate risk food insecurity. The purpose this study was to explore potential water–energy–food (WEF) nexus approach strengthening sustainability improving security in Burundi. This employs ARDL model ARIMA analyze impact water, energy, land yield while also projecting their future dynamics results highlight positive correlation between these resources yield, demonstrating that 1% increase each variables would collectively result 3.74% yield. Furthermore, predictive findings reveal an anticipated decrease by 74.9 kg ha−1 reduction spanning up 11.9 × 104 hectares year 2030. As contribution body knowledge, introduces framework WEF sustainable agriculture, providing fresh perspectives literature resource studies Burundi among other practitioners Africa.
