The effects of climate change adaptation strategies on the welfare of rural farm households in Ethiopia

Yohannes Kefale Mogess et al.

Summary: This study uses a three-wave panel data derived from the World Bank's geo-referenced household socioeconomic survey and NASA's historical weather data to estimate the impact of multiple climate change adaptation strategies (CCAS) on farm household welfare. The results show that combining CCAS, such as crop rotation and improved seed varieties, is the most effective way to improve the welfare of smallholder farmers. Furthermore, climate change and technology adoption are identified as the most important factors influencing rural farm household welfare, and the effectiveness of CCAS varies among farm households.

Climate change, degradation, and land acquisitions: evaluating inequalities among competing interests for suitable cropland in Ethiopia

Carly Muir et al.

Summary: Land is a crucial resource for agriculture, and in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, future declines in land productivity due to environmental change pose a major threat to smallholder farmers. Additionally, large-scale land acquisitions promoted by governments in the region are also endangering smallholders' access to land. This study examines the quality of land controlled by smallholders compared to large investors in western Ethiopia, focusing on the future suitability of land for growing maize, sorghum, and beans. The results show that climate-induced land degradation will lead to decreased suitability for all crops in Ethiopia by the late 21st century, and LSLA tend to occupy more suitable land, indicating potential insecurity of agricultural land for smallholders.

The effects of climate change adaptation strategies on the welfare of rural farm households in Ethiopia

Yohannes Kefale Mogess et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of various climate change adaptation strategies on farm household welfare. Using data from the World Bank and NASA, the study finds that combining crop rotation and improved seed varieties is the most effective way to improve welfare for smallholder farmers. Additionally, climate change and technology adoption are identified as key factors influencing rural farm household welfare. The study suggests the importance of targeted extension and advisory services, as well as policies that support coordinated adaptation strategies.

Do women farmers cope or adapt to strategies in response to climate extreme events? Evidence from rural Ghana

Gordon Yenglier Yiridomoh et al.

Summary: This study investigates coping and adaptation measures used by smallholder women farmers in response to climate extreme events, finding that membership of farmer-based organizations and the use of climate information are key factors influencing coping strategies, while adaptation measures are mainly influenced by access to credit. Policy recommendations include promoting specific interventions, establishing farmer-based organizations, increasing contact with women agricultural extension officers, and removing institutional barriers to improve access to credit and climate information.

Climate change vulnerability and smallholder farmers' adaptive responses in the semi-arid Far North Region of Cameroon

Hamza Moluh Njoya et al.

Summary: Climate change and variability exacerbate poverty and social unrest in poor countries. This research in the semi-arid Far North Region of Cameroon examines how farmers perceive their vulnerability and adapt to climate change. The results show that farmers are mainly concerned about drought and decrease in rainfall, and have implemented behavioral and locally-made options to overcome water shortages. The socioeconomic context also influences their adaptation measures. Additionally, farmers perceive a limited capacity to adapt to climate change, emphasizing the need for government and policy-makers to focus on improving and promoting farmers' autonomous adaptation strategies.

Improving the Representation of Climate Change Adaptation Behaviour in New Zealand's Forest Growing Sector

Grace B. Villamor et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the modeling of adaptation decisions in the context of plantation forests and finds that the representation of adaptation behavior and decision-making is very limited in most agent-based models in the forestry sector. The paper proposes the use of protection motivation theory as a framework to understand the motivation of forest owners to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on their plantations. It also suggests that addressing the research question of what motivates forest owners to take risk reduction measures is crucial to the success of the New Zealand forestry sector.

Impact of soil salinity on mangrove restoration in a semiarid region: a case study from the Saloum Delta, Senegal

John L. Devaney et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of soil salinity on the early establishment success of monospecific red mangrove reforestation projects in the Saloum Delta, Senegal. Findings showed that at higher soil salinities, stomatal conductance, photosystem II operating efficiency, and growth of planted mangrove seedlings were severely reduced.

Climate change impacts on soil salinity in agricultural areas

Dennis L. Corwin

Summary: Changes in climate patterns are negatively impacting agriculture, especially in arid regions. Proximal/remote sensors are useful in assessing the impact of climate change on soil salinity across scales. Factors such as salt-water intrusion, shallow water tables, and degraded water reuse will lead to increased soil salinity. There is a need for infrastructure and protocols to monitor soil salinity across multiple scales.

Drivers of soil salinity and their correlation with climate change

Deepthi Eswar et al.

Summary: Climate change has impacted various spheres, including soil which is essential for human survival, leading to increasing prevalence of soil salinisation and posing a threat to future food security. The phenomenon of soil salinity is found mainly in certain regions and is influenced by factors such as sea level rise, improper irrigation, and inadequate drainage, highlighting the urgent need to address this issue while considering food security and economic status of populations dependent on agricultural ecosystems.

Global predictions of primary soil salinization under changing climate in the 21st century

Amirhossein Hassani et al.

Summary: Excess salt accumulation in the root zone causes soil salinization, which affects soil health, biodiversity, and food security. The authors used machine learning algorithms to predict global soil salinization under changing climate in the 21st century, identifying hotspots in drylands such as South America, southern and western Australia, Mexico, southwest United States, and South Africa. Conversely, they project a decrease in soil salinity in northwest United States, the Horn of Africa, Eastern Europe, Turkmenistan, and west Kazakhstan in response to climate change.

Monitoring land use and soil salinity changes in coastal landscape: a case study from Senegal

Sophie Thiam et al.

Summary: The study found that croplands in Djilor district increased by 17% from 1984 to 2017, while forests increased by 3%. In terms of salinity change, slightly saline areas increased by 42% in 2017, while highly saline and moderately saline areas decreased by 23% and 26%, respectively. Additionally, highly concentrated salty areas can be restored using salt-resistant plants like Eucalyptus and Tamarix species, providing valuable insights for land use planning and salinity management in coastal regions to enhance farmers' resilience.

Perceptions and vulnerability of farming households to climate change in three agro-ecological zones of Ghana

Victor Owusu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the differences in perceptions of climate change among farming households in three agro-ecological zones in Ghana. The results showed that farming households in the Guinea Savannah zone tend to be more vulnerable. Evidence indicates that agro-ecological zones significantly contribute to the vulnerability status of households, highlighting the need for tailored policies targeting vulnerable farming households in specific zones.
