| Popis: | This study assesses the effects of climate change adaptation strategies (CCAS) on household food security among smallholder poultry farmers (SPFs). Using a multi-stage sampling approach, 360 smallholder farmers were surveyed through questionnaires and focus group discussions (FGDs). Percentages, mean score, and endogenous switching probit model (ESPM) were employed for analysis, shedding light on the relationship between adaptation strategies and food security. The probit regression revealed significant influences of sex, age, infrastructure, and external organizations on the adoption decisions of CCAS among SPFs. It further showed that adaptation strategies; water ventilation, traditional practices, medicines and vitamins have a significant impact on the HFS. Therefore, it is advised that policies be put in place to help SPFs make better choices regarding the use of CCAS, and these strategies should be included in policies and investment plans. To enhance the circumstances in which farmers can obtain knowledge about climate change, stakeholders and the government must work together. |
