Community-Based Adaptation to Drought: Insights from Farmer Participatory Research in Sub-Saharan Africa
Keywords:
Community-based adaptation, Drought, Smallholder farmers, Sub-Saharan AfricaAbstract
This article examines community-based adaptation (CBA) strategies employed by smallholder farmers to cope with drought in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through participatory research methods and farmer interviews, we identify locally relevant adaptation measures and assess their effectiveness in enhancing household resilience and food security.
