Climate, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11(10), С. 202 - 202

Опубликована: Окт. 6, 2023

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.

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2025

This study examines climate change awareness among farmers in Ife South Local Government Area (LGA), Osun State, Nigeria, focusing on their understanding of concepts, observed environmental changes, and adaptation strategies. Data was gathered using 300 structured surveys, 30 in-depth interviews, Participatory Rural Appraisal tools. SPSS utilised for quantitative analysis, whereas NVivo employed qualitative thematic analysis. Radio television constituted 60% farmers' primary sources information, with 75% participants acknowledging it. Environmental indicators revealed warming (85%), sporadic rainfall (80%), diminished agricultural output (65%). Farmers crop diversification (50%) drought-resistant crops (40%), while 25% took no action. The found high irrigation maintenance costs little government assistance. Thematic analysis identified deforestation as a key cause psychological stress pessimism prevalent responses. Qualitative data points matched across failure patterns adaption barriers. comprehend the necessities change, although adaptability is constrained by resource limitations institutional obstacles. Experience farming schooling correlated heightened adaptive abilities (p<0.01). Studies indicate that need cost-effective techniques, education governmental assistance to enhance resilience. Policymakers development practitioners may utilise study's pragmatic recommendations assist rural communities adapting change.

Empowering climate action through policy analysis and education in Gilgit-Baltistan: a comprehensive mixed method analysis

Frontiers in Climate, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 7

Опубликована: Март 27, 2025

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.

Introduction: Climate change is a pressing global challenge impacting agriculture and rural communities. This study investigates the willingness to migrate against climate among small-scale farmers explores associated socioeconomic sociodemographic factors. Method: A sample of 296 was randomly selected, data were collected through face-to-face interviews. logistic regression model used assess association multi-level factors with migration. Results: The results showed that different dimensions adaptation strategies are inversely in response change. In contrast, human capital directly desire migrate. Also, improving financial indirectly farmers’ area. also found education level plays key role increasing probability being willing relocate Specifically, 1-year increase 4.2% likelihood Discussion: Therefore, providing support for sustainable farming practices alleviate economic challenges faced by farmers, implementing targeted capacity-building programs enhance adaptive capacity promote agricultural development can be suggested. Furthermore, specialized knowledge regarding various consequences migration, conjunction their general education, help control manage

Опубликована: Окт. 3, 2024

Climate and land use change pressures are critical to food production in Social-Ecological Systems (SESs). This study assessed farmers’ perceptions of the climate changes alongside their impacts on Mhahakanumulla Village Tank Cascade System (MVTCS), a SES maintained by traditional agricultural systems dry zone Sri Lanka. used both rating ranking scale questions quantify perceptions. The tobit regression model was employed evaluate how farmer perception influenced socio-economic factors. results showed that most farmers had experienced MVTCS area changed over time, they perceived variability rainfall patterns as prominent influential change. increased cost production, wildlife damage, degradation were ranked impactful factors due rated deforestation clearing use, while damage highest changes. Among determinants, training income/profit positively severity level farmer’s adaptation negative association with Household size negatively influencing impacts. spatial farm downstream locations Thus, effectiveness strategies towards depends well understood farmers. findings provide helpful insights for formulating localized policies these globally important landscapes combination top-down bottom-up approaches.
