Knowledge of strategies to improve farm household resilience to food insecurity and counter adverse weather events and poor resource endowment is a pre-requisite for implementing solutions fitting local conditions. This paper examines subsistence farmer knowledge of strategies to cope with food insecurity and progressive climate change in the Lower River Region of The Gambia. The study applies survey data collected from the predominantly agricultural, poorly urbanized region in 2017 with regard to knowledge of eleven strategies, nine strategies directly related to farm practices and two related strategies associated with insufficient food crop production. Farmer strategy knowledge is estimated using the logit technique and identified farmer, farm household, farm practice, and environmental characteristics and factors significantly influencing such knowledge. The calculation of probability changes quantified the effect associated with a particular factor on knowing a strategy. Formal education, secondary household activities, gender, government support, farm size, and income influence the knowledge of selected strategies. Additionally, knowledge of some strategies is also associated with certain practices, e.g., planting trees. Insights gained from the study into the factors driving illiterate, ultra-poor farmer knowledge of available strategies are of use for multiple stakeholders helping to channel their efforts to reduce food insecurity in the studied region, The Gambia, other regions, which share similar socioeconomic and environmental conditions.

冈比亚下游地区气候变化背景下缓解粮食不安全战略的自给农民知识

了解提高农户对粮食不安全和应对不利天气事件和资源禀赋差的抵御能力的战略是实施适合当地条件的解决方案的先决条件。本文考察了自给农民应对冈比亚下游河流地区粮食不安全和渐进式气候变化的战略知识。该研究应用了 2017 年从以农业为主、城市化程度低的地区收集的调查数据,了解 11 项战略、9 项与农业实践直接相关的战略以及两项与粮食作物产量不足相关的相关战略。使用 logit 技术估计农民战略知识,并确定农民、农户、农场实践、以及显着影响此类知识的环境特征和因素。概率变化的计算量化了与特定因素对了解策略的影响。正规教育、中等家庭活动、性别、政府支持、农场规模和收入会影响所选策略的知识。此外,某些策略的知识也与某些实践相关,例如植树。从研究中获得的关于导致文盲、极度贫困的农民了解可用战略的因素的见解对多个利益相关者有用,有助于引导他们努力减少所研究地区、冈比亚和其他地区的粮食不安全,这些地区有着相似的社会经济和环境条件。概率变化的计算量化了与特定因素对了解策略的影响。正规教育、中等家庭活动、性别、政府支持、农场规模和收入会影响所选策略的知识。此外,某些策略的知识也与某些实践相关,例如植树。从研究中获得的关于导致文盲、极度贫困的农民了解可用战略的因素的见解对多个利益相关者有用,有助于引导他们努力减少所研究地区、冈比亚和其他地区的粮食不安全,这些地区有着相似的社会经济和环境条件。概率变化的计算量化了与特定因素对了解策略的影响。正规教育、中等家庭活动、性别、政府支持、农场规模和收入会影响所选策略的知识。此外,某些策略的知识也与某些实践相关,例如植树。从研究中获得的关于导致文盲、极度贫困的农民了解可用战略的因素的见解对多个利益相关者有用,有助于引导他们努力减少所研究地区、冈比亚和其他地区的粮食不安全,这些地区有着相似的社会经济和环境条件。和收入影响所选策略的知识。此外,某些策略的知识也与某些实践相关,例如植树。从研究中获得的关于导致文盲、极度贫困的农民了解可用战略的因素的见解对多个利益相关者有用,有助于引导他们努力减少所研究地区、冈比亚和其他地区的粮食不安全,这些地区有着相似的社会经济和环境条件。和收入影响所选策略的知识。此外,某些策略的知识也与某些实践相关,例如植树。从研究中获得的关于导致文盲、极度贫困的农民了解可用战略的因素的见解对多个利益相关者有用,有助于引导他们努力减少所研究地区、冈比亚和其他地区的粮食不安全,这些地区有着相似的社会经济和环境条件。
