Ethiopia is a rainfall-based agricultural country that susceptible to the impacts of climate change and risk. Floods droughts, which happen more frequently intensely, significantly negatively influence production. The objective meta-analysis identify on various sectors, adaptation strategies, challenges in Ethiopian context. Twenty-three peer-reviewed articles were identified from ScienceDirect Web Science, followed by PRISMA guidelines, analyzed using Stata version 13. results reveal agriculture (by changing crop suitability, phenology, productivity), environment, society, resulting shifting temperature rainfall patterns. Temperature variations, patterns precipitation, severe weather conditions have profound implications for productivity, water resources, ecosystems, human well-being, are multifaceted interlinked. In addition, reviewed informed us farmers used different coping strategies response change, such as soil conservation, agroforestry practices, integrated fertility management, small-scale irrigation, application improved varieties, use livestock, mixed cropping, early late planting, practice income-generating activities. random effects meta-regression result shows effective implementation above-mentioned practices reduces risk sectors. assessment also points out many realization these approaches, lack financing, institutional support, insufficient stakeholder involvement, ecological sociocultural factors, limited access information. concludes addressing requires holistic approaches encompass sustainable land social resilience-building help resilience communities ecosystems face climate.

The interplay between agriculture, greenhouse gases, and climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa

Regional Environmental Change, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 24(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 4, 2023

Abstract Agriculture is the leading sector that responsible for global climate change through its significant contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Intriguingly, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) experiencing higher temperatures and lesser rainfall due enhanced by anthropogenic GHG energy use in SSA predominantly influence warming. Therefore, reducing agricultural emissions (such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane) plays a role adaptation. This paper reviews potential implication of agriculture on implications environmental sustainability SSA. Herewith, we explored various GHGs emitted agriculture-energy use, their effects change, well several adaptation mechanisms, gaps existing knowledge necessitate more research, were also explored. We found had negative impacts countries focused strategy both economically technically feasible terms preferences land effective food supply would aid emission reduction sustainability. Adapting projected changes short term while investing long-term mitigation strategies might be only way toward sustainable environment this region.

Gender relations and decision-making on climate change adaptation in rural East African households: A qualitative systematic review

PLOS Climate, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3(1), С. e0000279 - e0000279

Опубликована: Янв. 10, 2024

Background: Climatic changes are threatening rural livelihoods in East Africa. Evidence suggests that climate change adaptation this context might reproduce inequitable intra-household gender relations and may be more effective when women involved meaningful ways. Hence, a nuanced understanding of the gendered nature decision-making is essential for gender-responsive research, policy-making practice. This qualitative systematic review aimed to investigate how influence concerning African households decisions about dynamics, turn. Applying meta-synthesis principles, searches were conducted 8 databases supplemented with comprehensive hand searches. 3,662 unique hits screened using predetermined inclusion criteria, leading final sample 21 papers. Relevant findings these studies synthesised inductive thematic coding, memoing analysis. While men tended primary decision-makers, exercised some power traditionally female domains female-headed households. Women’s men’s roles appeared influenced by plethora interconnected factors, including norms, divisions labour access, ownership control over resources. Intra-household seemed impact dynamics between male household members. The pathways complex, ultimate outcomes remained unclear. We discuss our reference theoretical literature on gender-transformative approaches development previous research then implications interventions.

Early Warnings and Perceived Climate Change Preparedness among Smallholder Farmers in the Upper West Region of Ghana

Land, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(10), С. 1944 - 1944

Опубликована: Окт. 20, 2023

The impacts of climate change are already pushing beyond the threshold for sustainable agriculture and rural livelihoods. In Sub-Saharan Africa, smallholder farmers particularly vulnerable due to limited resources adaptive capacity. Early warnings critical in mitigating reducing climate-related dangers building resiliency. That notwithstanding, there needs be higher coverage early developing countries, is even less knowledge their contribution development. Using a cross-sectional survey involving farmer households (n = 517), this study investigates relationship between perceived preparedness Ghana’s semi-arid Upper West Region. From ordered logistic regression presented as an odds ratio (OR), factors that influenced past 12 months before include exposure (OR 2.238; p < 0.001) experiences prior events such drought 9.252; 0.001), floods 6.608; erratic rain 4.411; 0.001). results emphasize importance warning systems various socioeconomic improving resilience Ghana. conclusion, puts forth policy suggestions worth considering.

The effect of swine insurance participation on swine production efficiency: Evidence from China

PLoS ONE, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 20(3), С. e0317759 - e0317759

Опубликована: Март 12, 2025

How does swine insurance affect the production efficiency in China? We focus on micro-survey data from 582 farmers Liaoning Province, and uses propensity score matching method (PSM) mediated effects model for empirical examination. The results indicate that positively impacts efficiency, compared to uninsured farmers, those who participate exhibit a 4.7% improvement efficiency. Additionally, estimations models significantly enhances by influencing risk appetite, decision technology adoption. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis revealed positive effect of becomes more pronounced as scale farmers’ expands. Apart this, correlation between coverage level reveals significant U-shaped curve. These findings provide valuable insights improving system fostering growth industry.
