Since agricultural productivity is weather and climate-related fundamentally depends on climate stability, change poses many diverse challenges to activities. The objective of this study review adaptation strategies interventions in countries around the world proposed for implementation reduce impact development production at various spatial scales. A literature search was conducted June–August 2023 using electronic databases Google Scholar Scientific Electronic Library eLibrary.RU, seeking key words “climate”, “climate change”, “agriculture adaptation”. Sixty-five studies were identified selected review. negative impacts are expressed terms reduced crop yields area, biotic abiotic factors, economic losses, increased labor, equipment costs. Strategies actions that can be emphasized local regional levels are: varieties management, including land use innovative breeding techniques; water soil agronomic practices; farmer training knowledge transfer; national levels: financial schemes, insurance, migration, culture; meteorological services; R&D, early warning systems. Adaptation depend context, region, or country; limiting discussion options measures only one type approach—"top-down” “bottom-up”—may lead unsatisfactory solutions those areas most affected by but with few resources adapt it. Biodiversity-based, “ecologically intensive” agriculture, climate-smart agriculture low-impact strong ecological modernization aiming sustainably increase incomes while addressing interrelated food security. Some taken response may not sufficient even vulnerability change. Future research should focus explore readiness farmers society adopt new constraints they face, as well main factors affecting them, order detect maladaptation before it occurs.

Women face severe gender-specific constraints and have minimal part in the farm decision-making systems sub-Saharan Africa. This leads to additional barriers adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies. paper contributes gender debate by focusing on intra-household dynamics that influence adaptive capacities small-holder farmers. Using a multi-country approach, considering Ethiopia, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania as case studies, an endogenous-switching poisson regression model was conducted (i) assess factors influencing probability women's engagement agricultural technology decision-making; (ii) ascertain effect participation adoption. The findings indicate degree complexity roles within their communities family contexts. While Malawi women participating process positively affects CSA adoption, other countries role remains marginal or negatively related with sustainability. Such empowerment is indeed influenced existence social, regulatory, cultural elements uniquely define considered countries. Context-specific policies prioritize rural-women, youths, marginalized groups can enhance thereby contribute Sustainable Development Goals such equality, climate action zero hunger developing

Seventy percent of smallholder farmers in Africa depend on rainfed farming systems, making them vulnerable to climate variability and extremes. Climate information services (CIS) adoption by presents a promising solution for adaptation variability. This paper unravels the complexities around explores opportunities tailor CIS resources farmers. We use systematic literature review approach assess how human, social, physical/technical, natural financial capitals may affect awareness, access The study is based 33 papers from Africa. Majority studies gave emphasis education, communication technology literacy levels advisory as influencing access, uptake. results highlight that better resourced have higher are more likely adopt CIS. human capital emerged an important component it directly determines farmer makes decisions farm. specific preference when economic enable acting according received. social provides basis benefit compounded resources. Thus, livelihood resource target must be considered production dissemination improve chances groups illiterate, women, elderly, agroecological zones prone extremes poorly

The enhanced uptake of dairy climate-smart practices (DCSPs) is important to cushion farmers against the effects climate change. However, remains low. Besides, there limited evidence on learning phase preceding adoption under a pluralistic extension system, while intensity treated as one-off process. Therefore, this study aimed assess factors influencing about least adopted DCSPs through different providers and, evaluate determinants and DCSPs. triple hurdle model was used conditional adoption, using sample 665 from selected counties in Kenya. Although facilitated very Ease accessing services milk market participation influenced positively. Keeping records, increase knowledge change, higher number visits were positively associated with both Additionally, perception that resilience increased level adoption. foster intensified promotion DCSPs, it imperative strengthen contacts farmers, train change record keeping, facilitate ensure contribute improved resilience. This would realization sustainable development goal 13 action country's commitments agriculture strategy.

Given that Ethiopian agriculture is seriously threatened by climate change, understanding the factors influence adoption of various climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices supports policy interventions to reduce negative effects change. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring determinants multiple CSA focusing on crop production. This used data from 271 randomly selected smallholder farmers Gamo, Gofa and Konso zones southern Ethiopia, a multivariate probit (MVP) model analyse data. Crop diversification, irrigation, drought-tolerant early-maturing varieties, integrated soil fertility management, pest management were prominent improve productivity, increase adaptivity capacity, mitigate adverse change in area. The study's findings indicate varies considerably between agroecology. MVP simulation result reveals farmers' decisions for are highly interdependent, indicating adopt two or more adaptation mitigation strategies as mutual practices. Furthermore, regression education level farmers, extension contact, accessing variability information, access irrigation facilities, social group participation similar underlying affected decision By providing respective organizations should encourage utilize available alternate climate-resilient varieties. In addition, strengthening norms through cooperatives training application suggested spur uptake.

Climate change significantly threatens agriculture and food systems in developing countries, especially Senegal, where is vital for livelihoods economic advancement. A study investigated the factors influencing adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) innovations among smallholder farmers Koumpentum, Senegal. Through comprehensive research multistage random sampling, 270 were interviewed using structured questionnaires. The results indicated that 56.3% have adopted CSA practices. Household size, perceived climate change, access to advisory information positively influenced 70.4% adopt crop rotation. Additionally, farmer's experience (in years) perception conservation tillage. highlights how smallholder-specific characteristics external influences interact determine adoption. Moreover, it underscores need targeted interventions promote practices, emphasizing importance farmer education, services, capacity building. Based on our findings, policy recommendations include aligning with preferences local conditions enhance rates strengthen resilience agricultural systems. Policymakers should integrate into Senegalese develop innovative financing mechanisms encourage adaptation technologies tailored contexts address current future risks.
