Title: | Climate change and agriculture in Zimbabwe: sustainability in minority farming communities | Authors: | Matsa, Mark | Keywords: | Indigenous traditional communities Traditional agriculture Climate change adaptation Sustainable farming Zimbabwe |
Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | Springer Cham | Series/Report no.: | Sustainable Development Goals Series; | Abstract: | Introduction This book proves, through empirical research, that indigenous and traditional agricultural communities have experienced severe climate change impacts, and have developed corresponding livelihood strategies to strengthen their resilience in a variable climate. With a focus on indigenous minority farming communities in the developing region of South-Western Zimbabwe, the study presents both qualitative and quantitative approaches of data analysis to assess sustainability problems amid climate change and climate variability challenges, and proposes potential solutions. In eight chapters, the book expands on the scarce availability of community-based research on climate change and variability in Zimbabwe. The book is meant for college and university students and stakeholders involved in development work in rural minority farmer communities, especially in climate change prone regions of Africa and other developing countries who have very few options of adaptation and mitigation. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-51346-7 http://hdl.handle.net/11408/4794 |
