Resilience Dynamics in Agricultural Supply Chains amidst Climate Shocks in Burkina Faso

Agricultural supply chains in Burkina Faso are vulnerable to climate shocks such as droughts and floods, affecting food security and economic stability. Qualitative research methods were utilised, including semi-structured interviews with farmers, traders, and government officials in Burkina Faso. Farmers reported a significant 30% reduction in crop yields due to droughts over the past five years, necessitating diversified farming practices. The findings highlight the importance of diversification as a key resilience strategy for agricultural supply chains in Burkina Faso. Government policies should incentivize farmers to adopt climate-resilient crops and enhance infrastructure to support post-harvest activities.
