Half-covered by the Sahara Desert and located between the arid Sahelian and north-Sudanese zones, Mali is characterized by a dry tropical climate with high variability between dry and wet periods. It is therefore estimated to be among the most vulnerable countries to climatic change.

Land issues are a significant challenge in African countries due to population growth, armed conflict, climate crises, governance problems, and major infrastructure projects, such as photovoltaic power plants which often encroach on agricultural land. For instance, Senegal's Kael solar power plant displaced numerous crop fields and grazing lands. The global rise in electricity demand intensifies competition for agricultural land and leads to deforestation. Agrivoltaic systems, which combine photovoltaic energy production with agricultural activities, offer a promising solution.

The fragility of the farmers being exposed to climate risk poses a threat to livelihoods and food security. Besides concrete risk mitigation measures, Thai farmers are in need of financial instruments that reduce the exposure to the economic impact of climate-induced agricultural losses.
