“…This is primarily due to the changing temperature and rainfall patterns, as highlighted in Table 6 . Numerous studies have confirmed that climate change's effects are already being observed in Ethiopian agriculture [ 2 , 28 , [33] , [34] , [35] ]. These effects manifest in various ways [ 26 ].…”

“… Changing climate has significant impacts on these resources for instance; severe soil erosion, shortages of water, drying of streams and rivers, increased deforestation, drying of vegetation, soil fertility decline, and other associated problems. [ 3 , 27 , 28 ]. Society Reducing the adaptive capacity of the farmers decreases the income of smallholder farmers, hence increasing poverty and loss of human life.…”

“…This discrepancy might be due to the differences in study setting and study period across the researches. The present study was conducted in Chiro district, known for high and rapidly shifting production of khat (Tofu & Wolka, 2023 ). This may cause poor access and availability of different food groups like fruits and vegetables in the area, thus leading to minimal dietary diversity.…”

Micronutrient insufficiencies during pregnancy have a marked impact on the health of the woman and her offspring. Evidence about the dietary practice of pregnant women is limited in Ethiopia, particularly in drought‐prone areas where food insecurity is widely seen. Therefore, this research aimed to assess the dietary diversity practice and associated factors among pregnant women in Chiro district, Eastern Ethiopia. We employed a community‐based cross‐sectional survey in Chiro district, Eastern Ethiopia. The data were collected from 417 randomly selected pregnant women using an interview‐administered structured questionnaire. EpiData‐3.1 and STATA‐14 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. The binary logistic regression analysis was deployed to assess the association between dietary diversity practice and predictor variables. Out of 420 calculated sample size, 417 pregnant women completed the survey giving a response rate of 99.3%. The overall prevalence of optimal dietary diversity was 38.4% (95% CI: 33.7%, 43.2%). Educational status (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 2.71, 95% CI: 1.08, 6.81), meal frequency (AOR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.11, 3.28), home gardening (AOR: 4.21, 95% CI: 2.48, 7.16), and household food security (AOR: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.40) were independent predictors of dietary diversity practice.This study found that a substantial proportion of pregnant women had suboptimal dietary diversity, indicating a fundamental micronutrient inadequacy. Educational status, meal frequency, home gardening practice, and household food security were independent determinants of dietary diversity practice. The findings suggest that promoting maternal education and home gardening practice, and controlling food insecurity might enhance optimal dietary diversity.

“…Droughts used to occur every 10 years, but due to current climate change, especially the decrease in rainfall, droughts now occur every two to five years [17]. Climate change affects agriculture through change in temperature, precipitation, and other climate variability changes (such as erratic rainfall, floods and droughts)(see Table 1) [18].…”

Climate change is a large and challenging collective action problem facing the world today. This seminar review impacts of climate change on r yield of major cereal crops. Literatures have indicated that climate change would likely have positive impact in the highland agro-ecology in the short run. However, in the long run climate change will have negative impact in all agro-ecology. Negative impacts will be high in low land agro-ecology. Failure to prepare for climate variability can seriously affect the livelihood of smallholder farmers. Ethiopia by enacting Climate-Resilient Green Economy strategy and National Adaptation Plan aims to minimize the impacts of CC. Despite the existing adaptation and mitigation strategies negative impacts of climate change on agriculture especially on cereal crop production is continued. Thus, both private and public investment on adaptation strategies should be expanded more. Studies regarding the impacts of climate change on labour productivity, labour market, its distributional (which section society mostly by climate change?) and why the existing adaptation strategies are not successful? are not well studied, as most literature are focused on impact of climate change on yield, its adaptation and mitigation strategies.
