Mitigating drought impacts in drylands : quantifying the potential for strengthening crop- and livestock-based livelihoods /
Drylands account for three-quarters of Sub-Saharan Africa's cropland, two-thirds of cereal production, and four-fifths of livestock holdings. Today frequent and severe shocks, especially droughts, limit the livelihood opportunities available to millions of households and undermine efforts to er...
