dc.description.abstractIn this book’s thesis the concept of flexibility is applied to agriculture, with a focus on rainfall variability and resulting water availability as the main uncertainty factors, and land and water as the factors that can be varied. It refers to the ability of farmers and local water managers to seasonally anticipate variations in water availability by changing the cropping type or overall land use practices resulting in a dynamic system of land and water use modifications in two major food producing regions in South Asia and Eastern Africa.en
