dc.description.abstract | Households with increased access to climate information through extension services were likely
to have better adaptation abilities. It was also shown that younger farmers were likely to adapt to climate
change given their flexibility to adopt new techniques and their access and use of modern information and
technology. Larger households were found to have higher probability of adapting as most adaptation
strategies are labour intensive. Household’s possession of livestock and access to credit significantly enhanced
adaptation. However, households with higher farm income have lesser incentives to adapt to because their
current farming practices might already be optimum. | en_ZW |
