AI Summary

Senegal’s food production relies largely on small‑scale, rain‑dependent farms, making the population vulnerable to climate shocks. The World Food Programme notes that satellite crop‑mapping technologies, which monitor climate impacts on farming, are largely inaccessible to the West African country. As a result, Senegal lacks the advanced tools needed to assess and mitigate climate risks to its agriculture.
