<p>This dissertation examines long-run food security in Niger
in an era of climate change and comprises three interlinked essays. The first
essay investigates the socio-economic projections for Niger in the current
climate change literature in a growth accounting framework and provides a
critical assessment to evaluate global projections in the context of
a low-income developing country. The second essay quantifies the combined and
individual impacts of income, population growth, agricultural productivity,
and climate change on food security outcomes by mid-century in rural and
urban Niger. Finally, the third essay assesses three policy scenarios
considering accelerated investments in agricultural research and dissemination
(R&D), reductions in fertility rates, and regional market integration.</p>
