In today's world, climate change and its unprecedented impact on food and nutrition security have emerged as a significant and formidable global challenge. This study aimed to investigate the effect of adaptation strategies on the food security of small-scale farmers in Khorramabad city, Iran, using a survey-based analysis. To assess the food security level, the Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) was employed. Additionally, Structural Equation Modeling was utilized to examine the relationship between adaptation dimensions and food security. The findings revealed that households without children exhibited a higher level of food security (48%) compared to households with children (6%). Moreover, the results demonstrated a positive and significant correlation between the food security of households, regardless of whether they had children, and the different adaptation components. Despite a satisfactory level of knowledge regarding climate change adaptation in the study area, the actual implementation of such measures remained low. While weed management, agricultural crop insurance, and access to meteorological information were identified as the top three strategies employed by farmers, the results suggested that sustainable-oriented operations and organic-oriented practices could serve as more effective strategies for both climate change resilience and enhancing food security status.

揭示气候变化、适应战略和粮食安全之间的关系:伊朗扎格罗斯山区小农的见解

当今世界,气候变化及其对粮食和营养安全前所未有的影响已成为一项重大而艰巨的全球挑战。本研究旨在通过基于调查的分析来调查适应策略对伊朗霍拉马巴德市小农粮食安全的影响。为了评估粮食安全水平,采用了家庭粮食安全调查模块(HFSSM)。此外,还利用结构方程模型来研究适应维度与粮食安全之间的关系。调查结果显示,与有孩子的家庭 (6%) 相比,没有孩子的家庭 (48%) 表现出更高的粮食安全水平。此外,结果表明,家庭的粮食安全(无论是否有孩子)与不同的适应组成部分之间存在显着的正相关关系。尽管研究区对适应气候变化的认识水平令人满意,但这些措施的实际实施率仍然很低。虽然杂草管理、农作物保险和获取气象信息被确定为农民采用的三大策略,但结果表明,以可持续为导向的运营和以有机为导向的做法可以作为更有效的策略,以增强气候变化的抵御能力和增强能力。粮食安全状况。
