Checking groundnuts
Mariama Keita of Sikilo Village checks whether groundnuts (peanuts) are ready for picking. Groundnuts are an important staple crop in this region. Armed with climate information and farming advisories, Mariama decided to plant a short-cycle groundnut variety that will ripen before the dry season takes hold.
Mariama has actively been using climate forecasts to stay productive and thrive under climate change. Photos taken 29-30 September in Kaffrine and Niakhar, Senegal. Learn more about this work
