Predictors of access to and willingness to pay for climate information services in north-eastern Ghana: A gendered perspective

Philip Antwi-Agyei et al.

Summary: Access to useful climate information is crucial for African smallholder farmers, especially in vulnerable areas like north-eastern Ghana. However, most smallholder farmers in the study were not willing to pay for climate information, with differences between male and female farmers in willingness to pay identified as statistically significant. The findings underscore the importance of designing climate information services tailored to the diverse socioeconomic backgrounds of smallholder farmers to enhance their adaptive capacity.

Constraints for adopting climate-smart agricultural practices among smallholder farmers in Southeast Kenya

Antti Autio et al.

Summary: The research findings show a discrepancy in the perceived awareness and utilization of climate-smart agricultural practices and technologies between state actors and farmers. Farmers are constrained by limitations such as market mechanisms, land tenure issues, and lack of resources, making it difficult for them to adopt climate-smart agricultural practices and technologies.

Socioeconomic determinants of climate change adaptations in the flood-prone rural community of Indus Basin, Pakistan

Sehrish Khan Qazlbash et al.

Summary: Climate change poses serious threats to rural communities in the Indus Basin of southern Punjab, Pakistan, including floods, droughts, and disease outbreaks. Adaptation strategies such as flood and drought-resistant crops, field boundaries, migration, and loans are commonly practiced by local residents. Socioeconomic factors such as gender, occupation, and education play a significant role in influencing climate change adaptation behaviors.

Climate risks and adaptation strategies of farmers in East Africa and South Asia

Jeetendra Prakash Aryal et al.

Summary: This study examines major climate risks, adaptation strategies, and factors influencing their choice among farm households in East Africa and South Asia. Farmers in these regions face various climate risks and adopt multiple strategies to address them, with differences observed between male-headed and female-headed households. Institutional support and training on alternative farming practices are crucial for climate change adaptation in both regions.

Climate change impacts and relevance of smallholder farmers' response in arid and semi-arid lands in Kenya

Dorcas N. Kalele et al.

Summary: Extreme weather events have been increasing in frequency, intensity, and magnitude in rural areas of Kenya, particularly in the Yatta region. Despite farmers adopting on-farm adaptation strategies, the adoption levels remain low, impacting livelihood aspects such as food shortage, increased food prices, and decreased water availability. Effective integration of potential adaptation strategies into smallholder farming systems is crucial to address climate change impacts.

Socioeconomic factors influencing the choice of climate-smart soil practices among farmers in western Kenya

Bwema Ombati Mogaka et al.

Summary: The study shows that factors such as household head's age, education level, gender, farming experience, duration of practice, farm size, plot size, number of plots, and land ownership form influence the adoption choices of CSS practices among farmers. Development practitioners should take these factors into consideration when implementing programs to increase uptake.

To what extent do weather and climate information services drive the adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices in Ghana?

Abdoulaye Djido et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of using weather and climate information services on the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices, finding that using these services significantly increases adoption rates of water management and multiple cropping practices. However, there was no significant impact on adoption rates of erosion control, pest-resistant crops, and integrated pest management.

Farmers' perceptions of climate change and adaptation strategies in South Africa's Western Cape

Katharina Talanow et al.

Summary: The study reveals that most farmers in a water-scarce, drought-stricken agricultural region of South Africa's Western Cape have observed long-term regional changes in climate, such as changes in rainfall patterns, increasing temperatures, and extreme climatic events. Farmers' adaptive behavior is influenced by past experience of climatic stresses and internal factors, including risk perception, perceived adaptive capacity, and cognitive biases. Farmers have implemented adaptive strategies on their farms, including alterations to soil and crop management, changes of harvest and planting time, crop rotations, and water conservation techniques.
