- Abstract
- Climate change poses significant threats to food security in Zimbabwe, particularly in rural areas. This study examines the impacts of climate change on agricultural practices and food production in Chimanimani, Zimbabwe. Using a qualitative research approach, the study explores the experiences and perceptions of smallholder farmers and household heads. The findings reveal that climate change has led to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, resulting in reduced crop yields and increased food insecurity. The study identifies several adaptive strategies and coping mechanisms employed by farmers and households, including conservation agriculture and climate-smart agriculture. The study concludes by proposing several policy recommendations to enhance resilience and sustainability in food production systems.
