1. Biophysical constraints of tropical agriculture

1.1 Highly vulnerable to constrained and changing climates

Tropical zones present a variety of climates, depending on their distance from the equator, the impact of cold ocean currents and the presence of mountains. Climates are generally warm or hot (with temperatures above 18°C at sea level), but rainfall and humidity can vary greatly from one place to another. . Annual temperature variations can range from a few degrees in the equatorial zone to over 30°C in more remote areas (Sahara, southern Africa). At the equator, air temperatures vary little over...
