economy. The latter, which is essentially based on the exploitation of local natural resources, is highly dependent on changes in the characteristics of the rainy season. The combined effects of environmental change, demographic pressure and strong hydro-climatic variability have considerably increased agricultural risks and natural disasters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73e8a8f readmorebtn elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"73e8a8f\"
