Empirical evidence suggests that there has been an increasing negative impact of climate change on the production arable crops in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), particularly Nigeria. Farmers must critically evaluate and adjust to challenges presented by order build resilience. Global, national, local adaptation efforts have progressed through international debate, national programs, community-based initiatives. Adaptation seen as a vital component all-encompassing, long-term global response change, protecting farmers, livelihoods, ecosystems. However, even though are several studies regarding factors influencing farmers' decisions adapt change. There is still need for present study deeper understanding new knowledge about discourse. Therefore, it critical understand influence guarantee right policies put place support their efforts. In light this, our examined crop adaptation. We made use cross-sectional data from 144 farmers who were chosen farming villages Southeast Nigeria using standardized questionnaire. To choose farmed crops, we used purposive multistage sampling techniques. The approach was employed identify regions with high concentration producing crops. Multinomial logit regression descriptive statistics analyze gathered data. Our found variety strategies manage risks, including migration (Y1), changing dates planting harvesting (Y2), altering tillage operations (Y3), intercropping (Y4), rotation (Y5), mixed cropping (Y6), agroforestry practices (Y7), introducing well-acclimated varieties (Y8), mulching (Y9), livelihood diversification (Y10). also demonstrates following influenced area: sex (X2), age (X1), education (X3), experience (X4), household size (X5), farm income (X6), participation cooperative (X7), extension contact (X8). cost inadequate strategies, among others, barriers facing area. recommended should take advantage various societies so jointly pool productive resources adequately Ultimately, important government strengthen agricultural service system provide up-to-date modern information, training, capacity building improved yield, income, standard living

Since 2017, Pestalotiopsis leaf fall disease affecting para rubber trees has spread across Southeast Asia and South Asia. This novel represents a new risk to the livelihoods of smallholders. The present study aims investigate impact on smallholders in Indonesia. We adopt sustainable livelihood framework for analyzing data. first identified context which Indonesian are situated drawing secondary sources. Second, understand smallholders’ situations, we conducted household survey Banyuasin Muara Enim Regencies Sumatra Province. Vulnerability been increasing particularly since 2010s, due low prices, diseases, declining government support. Due disease, latex production had decreased average by 47.7% compared normal conditions. Few measures attempted against disease. Whereas 60.2% households income sources other than rubber, 38.8% were dependent income. Households with greater income, often owing more proactive taking action address given situation. Our findings confirm that significantly increased vulnerability smallholders' livelihoods. Although not monolithic, overall, enduring was most common response among heavily reliant may face if issues like prices persist. For future implementation control prevention currently under development, it is necessary design methods do leave ordinary behind. Additionally, some support would be essential.

Introduction The study addresses the critical gap in climate policy implementation and public education Gilgit-Baltistan, a region highly vulnerable to change but underrepresented research discourse. While national policies exist, their translation into localized action remains ineffective due logistical, financial, institutional barriers. Methods This aims bridge this by conducting comprehensive mixed-method analysis assess shortcomings develop targeted educational interventions. methodology follows four-phase approach: first, bibliometric of over 100 peer-reviewed articles documents identifies trends, gaps, key contributors. Second, semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders, including community leaders, religious scholars, local policymakers, reveal needs awareness levels regarding change. third phase involves documentation environmental initiatives at University Baltistan, providing empirical evidence on existing efforts. Finally, using Design-Based Research strategy, an course tailored socio-cultural context Gilgit-Baltistan is developed evaluated. Results Findings highlight severe lack interdisciplinary collaboration Pakistan’s research, often overlooked studies. Public awareness, particularly among youth insufficient, necessitating programs that integrate knowledge practical strategies. Additionally, weak remote regions governance constraints underscores need for multi-sectoral sustainable financial support. Conclusion concludes empowering communities through inclusive policymaking essential fostering resilience Gilgit-Baltistan. It calls urgent adaptation, stakeholder engagement, structured ensure stewardship region.

Agriculture is vital to the Saudi Arabian economy since it provides food and other necessities people living in rural areas, as well those adjacent cities. Notwithstanding its considerable economic importance, agricultural sector confronted with formidable obstacles due climate change, such elevated temperatures, floods, extreme droughts, decreased yields. Building a farming system capable of being resilient requires comprehension vulnerabilities farm households related systems. This paper deals potential risks resulting from change Arabia. In addition concentrating on precipitation temperature, present research incorporates three main components Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI): sensitivity, exposure, adaptive capability. The results this reveal notable challenge that farmers Arabia encounter, they are very susceptible impacts change. (CCVI) has score 0.730, signifying substantial degree vulnerability. region uncertainties caused by indicated significant exposure 0.725. comprises wide range concerns fluctuations patterns rainfall, occurrences severe weather, all which have an immediate negative effect agriculture. Farmers more effects could jeopardize their livelihoods operations, shown susceptibility component (SVI) 0.559. Moreover, capacity (AVI) 0.567 highlights fact limited access resources, skills, experience, hindering ability tackle challenges been successfully. emphasize necessity for specific policies assistance enhance resilience communities area, mitigate adverse livelihoods.

Rural livelihood transition towards non-agriculturalization, non-grainization and even anti-urbanization has become a thorny social problem that undermines farmland resources worldwide food security. Based on simulation survey, this study explored the risk preferences mechanisms of typical farmers in hilly mountainous region. The results indicated that: (1) 76.86% rural households exhibited aversion tendencies, with 60.67% being highly risk-averse. ranking among three is consistent asset abundance, non-agriculture oriented > semi-farmer semi-labour vocational farmer households. (2) significantly positively correlated family labour force, land management area, housing assets, yet negatively preferences. Compared to traditional grain cultivation, region possesses lower risks higher profitability for (3) total non-agriculturalization correlates area but income. (4) Anti-urbanization returning hometowns farming are still regarded as fallback by households, excessive gift expenditure heavy burden society. Therefore, practical systematical countermeasures proposed research guide sustainable transition.
