Adaptation Options Enhancing Farmers' Resilience to Climate Change

Zusatztext

Today climate change is a major concern for humanity. Mankind can either adapt to or mitigate this scourge. Developed countries are doing far better in adapting and/or mitigating the nefarious effects of climate change. On the contrary, developing countries like Africa are the most affected although they are the least responsible for the changing climatic conditions the world is experiencing today. Among the most vulnerable sections of the population are smallholder farmers who depend almost completely on rain-fed agriculture for cultivation. It is within this framework that documenting and promoting adaptation options that enhance smallholder farmers' resilience in the face of climate change becomes incumbent. This work therefore looked into some of these sustainable adaptation options that enhance smallholder farmers' resilience faced with climate change with the goal to influence policy.
