Diversification Under Climate Variability as Part of a CSA Strategy in Rural Zambia
利用赞比亚面板数据，分析气候冲击和制度如何影响农户多样化、收入与贫困，为气候智慧农业战略提供政策启示。
Climate change is posing an increasingly severe challenge to agricultural livelihoods due to increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Livelihood diversification can play an important role in decreasing food insecurity and vulnerability under these challenges. This paper contributes to the literature on livelihood diversification and vulnerability under climate change to assess the role of diversification as part of a Climate-Smart Agriculture strategy by analysing the determinants of diversification, income and poverty in Zambia using panel data. We specifically focus on the roles of climate shocks and institutions in shaping these linkages to highlight policy insights to improve resilience.
