1 Introduction Crop and livestock production are drivers of food security and livelihood improvement (Christiaensen et al. 2011). Both sectors ensure global food production, supply, and employment opportunities along the value chains (World Bank 2021). However, drought associated with climate change has limited the potential and sustainability of crop production, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions and vulnerable communities with less adaptive capacities (Mbow et al. 2019).
