Impact of climate change adaptation on food security: evidence from semi-arid lands, Kenya
نویسندگان
چکیده
The management of rangelands, including climate change adaptation strategies, is primarily responsible for stimulating livestock productivity, which consequently improves food security. This paper investigates the impact adaptations on security among pastoralists in semi-arid parts Kenya, who have not received due attention to date. Using an endogenous switching regression model, current study revealed that pastoralists’ increased significantly when they employed measures adapt change. results also showed wealthier households and those with more were food-secure than comparatively poorer or less livestock. Furthermore, uncovered a high prevalence educated households. therefore recommends that, Kenya’s lands, where pastoralism primary means livelihood, policies advocating should be strengthened. Also fundamental building strategies are consistent monitoring change, use early warning systems, communication pertinent information farmers—and particularly pastoralists.

Adaptation to Climate Change and its Impacts on Food Security: Evidence from Niger
We assess farmers' incentives and the conditioning factors for adoption of agricultural technologies under climate risk and evaluate its impact on food security in Niger. Results show that while the use of modern inputs and organic fertilizers improves productivity, results are unclear for crop residues. Results also show that factors driving modern input use are different than those of crop re...

In the first phase of the Dutch National Research Programme on Global Air Pollution and Climate Change (NOP-I) the emphasis was on global modelling, on a natural science-based approach and with more detailed studies focused on the Netherlands/Western Europe. In 1995 it was decided that in NOP-II (1996-2000) more attention should be devoted to the impact of climate change, to a social science pe...

International policy is placing increasing emphasis on adaptation to climate change, including the allocation of new funds to assist adaptation efforts. Climate change adaptation funding may be most effective where it meets integrated goals, but global geographic priorities based on multiple development and ecological criteria are not well characterized. Here we show that human and natural adap...
متن کاملPrioritizing climate change adaptation needs for food security in 2030.
Investments aimed at improving agricultural adaptation to climate change inevitably favor some crops and regions over others. An analysis of climate risks for crops in 12 food-insecure regions was conducted to identify adaptation priorities, based on statistical crop models and climate projections for 2030 from 20 general circulation models. Results indicate South Asia and Southern Africa as tw...
