“…It shows that farmers are risk-averse, and therefore adopted to risk-averse approaches for income security. Such insurance is contributed by the dependence of crops production under rain-fed agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa (Lemessa et al, 2019), including Mozambique (Armand et al, 2019), which is likely to be erratic, leading to crop failures.…”

In the agricultural sector, which is a pillar for the development of the world economy, and for family subsistence, having information is critical. The objective of this study is to analyse the information-seeking behaviour of farmers in Maputo City, Mozambique. A case study was conducted involving ten farmers from the KaMbukwana and KaMovata Municipal Districts. For the practice of agriculture, farmers in Maputo City largely depend on information from their fellow farmers and on government institutions as a reliable source. Other sources of information include television, workshops and non-governmental organisations. There is a high perception of relevancy of information for practice of agriculture; the farmers appeal for the use of information and communications technology as a mechanism to share information.

“…Gender-based suitable information resources and contexts to address the activities, attentiveness, literacy concerns, and access requirements are needed to make wider ingress against climatic variabilities. Moreover, gender-receptive and farmer-guided technological upheavals are essential to design improved and sustainable food systems ( Waters-Bayer et al, 2015 ; Lemessa et al, 2019 ). Sustainable food systems with improved mitigation and adaptation measures are inevitable to reduce the gender and other socio-economic constraints and enhance multiplicity, which can uplift food production to fulfill household’s nutritional necessities.…”

Climatic variability has been acquiring an extensive consideration due to its widespread ability to impact food production and livelihoods. Climate change has the potential to intersperse global approaches in alleviating hunger and undernutrition. It is hypothesized that climate shifts bring substantial negative impacts on food production systems, thereby intimidating food security. Vast developments have been made addressing the global climate change, undernourishment, and hunger for the last few decades, partly due to the increase in food productivity through augmented agricultural managements. However, the growing population has increased the demand for food, putting pressure on food systems. Moreover, the potential climate change impacts are still unclear more obviously at the regional scales. Climate change is expected to boost food insecurity challenges in areas already vulnerable to climate change. Human-induced climate change is expected to impact food quality, quantity, and potentiality to dispense it equitably. Global capabilities to ascertain the food security and nutritional reasonableness facing expeditious shifts in biophysical conditions are likely to be the main factors determining the level of global disease incidence. It can be apprehended that all food security components (mainly food access and utilization) likely be under indirect effect via pledged impacts on ménage, incomes, and damages to health. The corroboration supports the dire need for huge focused investments in mitigation and adaptation measures to have sustainable, climate-smart, eco-friendly, and climate stress resilient food production systems. In this paper, we discussed the foremost pathways of how climate change impacts our food production systems as well as the social, and economic factors that in the mastery of unbiased food distribution. Likewise, we analyze the research gaps and biases about climate change and food security. Climate change is often responsible for food insecurity issues, not focusing on the fact that food production systems have magnified the climate change process. Provided the critical threats to food security, the focus needs to be shifted to an implementation oriented-agenda to potentially cope with current challenges. Therefore, this review seeks to have a more unprejudiced view and thus interpret the fusion association between climate change and food security by imperatively scrutinizing all factors.

“…The Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA) established the framework for international development. This approach was initiated from rapid rural appraisal, agricultural ecosystem analysis, agriculture system and participation, and applied anthropology [ 37 , 38 , 39 ]. Later, the SLA has been extensively utilized by local and central governments of developing regions and has become the vital model of small landholders (poor) farmers’ livelihood analysis [ 40 ].…”

Health status and income level are both important factors in reducing poverty and accomplishing sustainable development in deep poverty areas of China. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide policy support for the sustainable poverty alleviation of farmers by analyzing the net effect of health risk on Farmers’ income poverty and its impact mechanism. Based on the data of more than 199,000 farmers, this study uses the Difference in Difference (DID) model to empirically analyze the effect of health-risk on farmers’ income poverty. The empirical findings obtained from DID model show that health risk has a significant and positive impact on income poverty, where the impact of disability is higher. Furthermore, the mechanism shows that the impact of health risks on income poverty is mainly influenced by farmers’ off-farm working choices and time. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the health risk significantly impacts non-vulnerable farmers’ poverty. With outdated healthcare facilities in poverty-stricken areas, people are more likely to fall into income poverty. Therefore, the study concludes that establishing an effective long-term mechanism of health risk prevention is essential to improving the endogenous development power of poor farmers and decreasing income poverty.
