Some papers focus on adaptation to climate change, while others emphasize the potential of agroecology for sustainable agricultural production. However, the link between those two themes has not been investigated in deep so far. This study aims at linking climate change, adaptation and agroecology and therefore intends to answer the following questions:

- Which climate changes have been observed and are projected in different climatic zones of Africa?

- How are such evolutions already influencing and expected to affect farming systems all over Africa?

- How do agroecological practices implemented by peasants contribute to their adaptation to climate change?

- To which extent is agroecology relevant to face the challenges of climate change and food security?
