The African Crop Science Journal (ACSJ) has dedicated one Special Issue to climate change (CC) research and related works in an effort to promote dissemination of information to various stakeholders globally.

The ACSJ is the publication arm of the African Crop Science Society (www.acss.ws/ ) and is full-text open access with the Bioline International (http://www.bioline.org.br/ ).

Sub-Saharan Africa is already severely and disproportionately affected by climate change and vulnerable to future variability, and yet has the least capacity to respond. By 2050, some areas in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are predicted to have up to 10% less annual rainfall. This decrease in rainfall will have a particularly serious impact to the various sectors in agriculture, given that 75% of agriculture in SSA is rain-fed. As a result of climate change, the areas traditionally suitable for agriculture, the length of growing seasons and crop yields are all expected to decrease and vary from year-to-year, with serious consequences for food security.

In light of this the ACSJ has dedicated a Special Issue intended to promote dialogue and action on aspects of climate change through dissemination of information to various stakeholders in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Papers, in English or French, should be submitted to the Journal’s Secretariat at acsjclimatechange@gmail.com with copy to acss@agric.mak.ac.ug

Deadline for submission: 31st December 2011. Please see downloads for details.
