“…Regarding the Self-Organization dimension of resilience, the negative correlation between infrastructure and food security implies that remote households with constrained access to services and markets are more food secure. As shown by Matter et al (2021), this contrasts the Livelihood Resilience Framework as well as the findings of other studies that show that adequate access to markets and services fosters resilience (e.g., Colting-Pulumbarit et al, 2018). Matter et al (2021) argue that remote households are likely to be more self-sufficient and have more land and are therefore less exposed to price fluctuations.…”

Climate change, land degradation, demographic change and persistent poverty pose major challenges to smallholder farmers in the arid and semi-arid lands of sub-Saharan Africa. Though many studies have focused on how resilient these households are to shocks, very few studies deal with how household resilience varies over time. We provide a longitudinal analysis to assess how the resilience of smallholder households in south-eastern Kenya has varied from 2012 to 2015. We use the Livelihood Resilience Indicator Framework to examine the linkages between livelihood outcomes and livelihood resilience (buffer capacity, self-organization and capacity for learning). We collected data from 134 households on three resilience dimensions: buffer capacity, self-organization, and capacity for learning. We performed principal component analysis to identify the key components of these dimensions and examine their relevance for livelihood outcomes. Our findings show that under drought conditions in 2012, conservation agriculture practices significantly contributed to maize yields. In both years 2012 and 2015, there was a positive correlation between resilience dimensions and food security. Key components of this relation were land area, income, conservation agriculture practices, climate forecasts and actions taken for the upcoming growing season.

“…Previous researches measured the local adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers focusing on the smallholders' assets and capitals (Defiesta & Rapera, 2020;Colting-Pulumbarit et al, 2018) and socioeconomic conditions (Mulia et al, 2017), and gender analysis (Kiumbuku et al, 2020). Besides the assets and community capitals, however, there may be some factors that could influence the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies, as well as the level of adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers.…”

This article argues that local adaptive capacity of the smallholder farmers determines their decision to adopt climate change adaptation strategies in the upland farming communities in the Philippines. This argument is based on the research conducted in the selected upland farming communities in the Philippines, Vietnam and Timor-Leste in 2017-2018 using the Local Adaptive Capacity (LAC) framework as the theoretical foundation. The study involved a survey of 637 upland farmers who were selected using simple random sampling; focus group discussion; key informant interviews; and, farm visits. Results revealed that the smallholder farmers across the three countries had low level of adaptive capacity. Binary logistics regression also indicates that leadership (p=.078) and innovations (p=.000) are the factors that influence farmers to adopt climate change adaptation strategies in the Philippines, while knowledge (p=0.000) and community assets (p=0.000) as the determinants among the smallholder farmers in Vietnam. In Timor-Leste, the decision to adopt climate change adaptation strategies are community assets (p=0.001), knowledge (p=0.000), and innovations (p=0.007). These results suggest an urgent need of enhancing the local adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers to be able to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
