Climate change adaptation and resilience among vegetable farmers

Climate Change Anomalies and Beans Production in Nigeria

“…This means that the exposure of farmers to education improved farming system, which in, turn improved beans yields. This is in the same direction with the studies by Arimi (2020) which suggested that farmers' education, had a positive effect on the farm level beans output. Contrary to the findings of Cabas et al (2010), which submitted that there was an inverse relationship between crop yield and farm size.…”

“…This study is in line with the findings from Muritala and Agbaje (2018) who submitted that increase in temperature had a positive relationship with cowpea yield in Nigeria Farmers' age had a direct relationship on the adjusted yield of beans which means that older farmers who engaged in beans production had more yields than the younger beans farmers. This is contrary with the submission made by Arimi (2020) they submitted that the older the farmers the lower yield generated. Farmers' year of formal education had positive and significant effect on the adjusted yield of bean.…”

Adaptation of Organic Vegetable Farmers to Climate Change: An Exploratory Study in the Paris City-Region

“…The study shows that in the context of the Global North, vegetable farmers' perceptions of the seasonal patterns and extreme events of climate change (Table 2) are consistent with those in the literature on the Global South (Arimi, 2021;Gunathilaka and Samarakoon, 2022;Tekuni Nakuja, 2012). The interviewed farmers' emphasis on the greater frequency and length of droughts is consistent with the literature that presents droughts as a major challenge for vegetable production (Abewoy, 2018;Bisbis et al, 2019;Keatinge et al, 2014).…”

“…Although the literature on the influence of climate change on agriculture usually presents increased variability as a key challenge (Alemayehu and Bewket, 2017; Karki et al, 2020;Obwocha et al, 2022;Reidsma et al, 2010), few studies based on interviews with vegetable farmers have clearly highlighted this issue (Arimi, 2021;Asadu et al, 2018;Irham et al, 2022;Tekuni Nakuja, 2012). The farmers in the present study…”

“…Adaptive capacity is defined as the ability to respond to climate change, including climate variability and extremes, to reduce potential damage, benefit from emerging opportunities, and/or respond to the consequences (IPCC, 2001). Studies of vegetable production that investigate the adaptive capacity of farmers in the face of climate change have been conducted in the Global South, where climate change has been researched for much longer (Arimi, 2021;Asadu et al, 2018;Chepkoech et al, 2020;Gunathilaka and Samarakoon, 2022;Irham et al, 2022;Tekuni Nakuja, 2012). In the Global North (e.g.…”
