摘要: Purpose – This study aims to provide a methodology for constructing farm household-level adaptation metrics agriculture and water sectors. The livelihood of households is at risk now in the foreseeable future, as both sectors are vulnerable climate variability, particularly developing nations. Adaptation critical protect their livelihood. Vulnerable farmers have adopted various mechanisms counteract negative impacts though extent varies temporally spatially. Design/methodology/approach It is, therefore, imperative understand current practices successfully implementing them. A few studies emerged so far this context, investigating different issues associated with micro-level strategies related sectors, e.g. output cost-effectiveness, constraints farm, household institutional levels. Findings While such analysis e...
