The systematic review using the PRISMA protocol aims to identify the observed and projected impacts of climate change on crop production and food security, water resources, and livestock and explores the perspectives of adaptation strategies employed to cope with this challenge across African countries. The review permits visualization in one scheme of the most recent various results of ongoing climate impact on agriculture and strategies across African countries. It enables the agricultural community and policymakers to consider it as they address climate change risks to agriculture, livestock, water resources, as well as food security. Overall results from 125 selected articles show that in the last four years, there has been a lack of research on climate change-related issues analysis in agriculture in some countries, especially in Northern Africa, Middle Africa, and Southern Africa. In the same regions, studies on the impact analysis on livestock, water, and management techniques are limited. Even though the agriculture sector is severely impacted by climate change, the effects can still be positive or negative depending on the products cultivated and the region. The various adaptation strategies implemented seem to be more effective when applied as a combination than a single application. However, some challenges including the lack of knowledge, limited input access, insufficient equipment, and financial constraints in strategy adoption exist. As climate change is a persisting and continuing fact getting worse over time, the adaptation strategies implemented today may require further improvement. Thus, our study suggests that more research should be done in this area to facilitate continuous improvement. Women’s leadership is important in the adoption of sustainable adaptation strategies. The introduction of gender factors in the assessment of the effectiveness of climate change adaptation strategies and food security components is recommended. Also, serious research should be carried out to define the most impactful adaptation strategies according to the important staple growing crops by region to cope with climate change impacts in the African food system.

使用 PRISMA 协议进行的系统审查旨在确定气候变化对作物生产和粮食安全、水资源和牲畜的观察和预测影响，并探讨非洲国家为应对这一挑战而采用的适应战略的前景。该审查允许在一个方案中可视化气候对农业和非洲国家战略的持续影响的最新各种结果。它使农业界和政策制定者在应对气候变化对农业、畜牧业、水资源和粮食安全的风险时能够考虑这一点。125篇入选文章的总体结果表明，在过去四年中，一些国家，特别是北非、中非和南部非洲的农业领域缺乏气候变化相关问题分析的研究。在同一地区，对牲畜、水和管理技术的影响分析的研究很有限。尽管农业部门受到气候变化的严重影响，但影响仍然可能是积极的或消极的，具体取决于种植的产品和地区。所实施的各种适应策略作为组合应用时似乎比单一应用更有效。然而，还存在一些挑战，包括缺乏知识、投入渠道有限、设备不足以及战略采用方面的财务限制。由于气候变化是一个持续存在的事实，并且随着时间的推移而变得越来越糟，今天实施的适应策略可能需要进一步改进。因此，我们的研究表明应该在这一领域进行更多的研究以促进持续改进。妇女的领导作用对于采用可持续适应战略非常重要。建议在评估气候变化适应战略和粮食安全组成部分的有效性时引入性别因素。此外，还应进行认真的研究，根据各地区重要的主粮作物确定最有效的适应策略，以应对气候变化对非洲粮食系统的影响。
