Adoption of climate change adaptation strategies by maize-dependent smallholders in Ethiopia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Climate change is an environmental process that is among the most limiting factors for increasing or even maintaining food production by small farmer communities in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). Adoption of climate change adaptation strategies that increase agricultural productivity and at the same time building farmers resilience capacity has become a top policy priority in SSA. In this study, we investigate how maize dependent smallholders in Ethiopia adapt to climate change. Both household and plot level data were collected, and subsequently analysed by a multivariate probit regression model. Results show that most climate change adaptation strategies implemented by maize dependent smallholders, are complementary. Combining conservation tillage, mixed maize legume cropping and terracing along with the use of drought resistant maize varieties allows farmers to increase productivity while building resilience to climate change more than a subset of these strategies. Findings indicate that the likelihood
