An economic analysis of agricultural adaptation to climate change impacts in Sri Lanka: An endogenous switching regression analysis

Rethinking Blended High Yielding Seed Varieties and Partial-Organic Fertilizer Climate Smart Agriculture Practices for Productivity and Farm Income Gains in the Drylands of Zimbabwe

“…If the target crops' marketing arrangements are open to delayed payments in existing markets, then farmers will not be motivated to adopt the technology regardless of the other benefits such as yield and income gains. This is supported by Suresh et al (2021) when they observed that some climate change adaptation strategies were less adopted because the output from their systems had challenges with payment arrangements for supply delivered to the markets. Thus, should motivate strategies which target price efficiency in agricultural market through moral suasion of legal proclamations.…”

“…The dominance of inappropriate agricultural practices such as improper soil preparation and management, indiscriminate use of pesticides and application of chemical fertilizers beyond the limit has persistently caused a range challenges including decrease in crop yields, soil erosion, soil salinity and pollution of water bodies. In southern Africa's agricultural value chains, this matrix of problems has culminated in reduced productivity across strategic cereal crops such as maize (Zea mays), sorghum (sorghum bicolor) and millets from on average 1.3 tons/ha to 0.9 tons/ha and lowered income by on average 23% due to a decline in the weighted average prices by 19.2% between 2015 and 2019, especially among smallholder farmers (Suresh et al, 2021). To circumvent this array of problems, there is an emerging drive toward co-designing a diverse range of resilient CSA programs with a focus on farmers taking the center stage.…”

“…A number of studies (e.g., Ali and Abdulai, 2010;Di Falco et al, 2011;Asfaw et al, 2012;Suresh et al, 2021) have examined the impact of agricultural technologies on food security and income, but the majority focused on externally driven interventions emanating from either the government, NGOs or the private players. Those which have attempted to accommodate the fertilizer component have focused on the inorganic fertilizers (Ahmed, 2022).…”

The economic vulnerability of fishing households to climate change in the south Pacific region of Colombia

“…Artisanal fisheries plays a fundamental role in the food security and household income of coastal fishing communities in Colombia and various world regions ( Galappaththi et al., 2021 ; Ebn-Jalal et al., 2021 ; Sreya et al., 2021 ; Suresh et al., 2021 ). The Coastal fishing households lack 68.7% of the Unsatisfied Basic Needs Index - UBN among the country's population ( National Administrative Department of Statistics, 2018 ).…”

“…In general, the studies conducted worldwide on the effects of climate change on fishing households are mainly focused on identifying strategies to reduce vulnerability to climate change and simultaneously increase adaptive capacity at the global and local levels ( Allison et al., 2009 ; Cinner et al., 2012 ; Mamauag et al., 2013 ). Recent findings agree that the adaptive capacity of low-income households will depend on: the degree of the associativity of individuals; programs to improve the adaptive capacity of families, including diversification of activities that generate sustainable income in the long term; improving education in households; gender equality due to the role played by the woman in the income of these households, being lower when they are women; appropriate policy and social interventions that improve the adoption of strategies by families against the impacts of climate change ( Susaeta et al., 2017 ; Sreya et al., 2021 ; Suresh et al., 2021 ).…”
