Scoping Study: Approval Processes for Agricultural Investments in Senegal
This scoping research aims to shed light on the laws and processes that apply to the approval of large-scale, private agricultural investments in Senegal. The study aims to highlight opportunities for integrating climate services into approval processes. It will also identify ways in which approval processes in Senegal could facilitate responsible investments in agriculture.
The joint scoping study is being conducted by CCSI and the African Center of International Law Practice (ACILP). It falls under the umbrella of
Adapting Agriculture to Climate Today, for Tomorrow (ACToday), the first Columbia World Project led by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI).
Rolling Stone 11 Foods That Are Already Being Impacted by the Climate Crisis

Food is an entrenched part of any culture. In America, we associate peaches with Georgia and shellfish with New England; we go to Napa for wine tasting, and sing songs about the heartland’s amber waves of grain. But in a few short decades, rising sea levels and changing temperatures could transform where and how we harvest our food.
We’re already seeing changes. Fruit trees are struggling to bloom after warmer winters; cranberries are being scalded by heat in the bogs they’ve grown in for centuries; in Asia, rice crops are being flooded with saltwater. And as the ocean becomes warmer and more acidic, the sea life we depend on is either moving to different waters or being decimated.

The Sahel is an unforgivingly hot and arid belt stretching across the African continent, from Senegal to Chad. It marks the transitional zone between the Sahara Desert to the north and the humid savannahs to the south. This zone is characterized by its unique rainfall patterns. A long dry season is followed by a short but intense rainy season; certain regions may experience up to 80% of their yearly rainfall between the months of August and September. Populations living in this challenging ecoclimate are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate variability and change.
