Based on past and historical climate development, there is now a general consensus on
climate change (Reid and Huq, 2007). As well, there is increasing evidence that climate
change will strongly affect the African continent and will be one of the most challenging
issues for future development, particularly in drier regions (Adger et al., 2007; Haile,
2005; Kurukulasuriya et al., 2006). Accordingly, studies indicate that agriculture as a
major source of livelihoods in Africa is negatively affected by climate change (McCarthy
et al., 2001; Pearce et al., 1996), and future climate conditions will likely worsen the
situation
