摘要

农业为南非经济做出了贡献,但该部门极易受到气候变化风险的影响。小农玉米种植者尤其容易受到气候变化的影响。玉米作物被视为主食和饲料,在国家粮食安全方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在探讨影响南非林波波省小农玉米种植者采用气候智能型农业意愿的社会经济因素。由于农业生态区的特殊性,研究在三个不同地区进行。在收集数据时采用了多目的研究设计,在选择研究地区时采用了多阶段随机抽样。随后,使用结构化问卷和焦点讨论小组对 209 名特意选定的农民进行了面对面访谈。描述性结果显示,Ga-Makanye、Gabaza 和 Giyani 地区分别有 81%、67% 和 63% 的农民愿意采用 CSA。使用双赫尔德模型,t 检验在 1%的置信水平下显著,概率 > chi2 = 0.在 5%的置信水平下,教育、作物多样化和气候智能型农业(CSA)信息对采用 CSA 有积极影响,而家庭规模和农业经验对采用 CSA 有消极影响。建议农业、土地改革和农村发展部为农民提供 CSA 讲习班和教育项目,以增强他们对适应战略的了解和决策过程。

Adaptation through Climate-Smart Agriculture: Examining the Socioeconomic Factors Influencing the Willingness to Adopt Climate-Smart Agriculture among Smallholder Maize Farmers in the Limpopo Province, South Africa
Agriculture contributes to the South African economy, but this sector is highly vulnerable to climate change risks. Smallholder maize farmers are specifically susceptible to climate change impacts. The maize crop plays a crucial role in the country’s food security as is considered a staple food and feed. The study aimed at examining the socioeconomic factors influencing smallholder maize farmers’ willingness to adopt climate-smart agriculture in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. It was conducted in three different areas due to their specific agro-ecological zones. A multipurpose research design was used to gather data, and multistage random sampling was used to choose the study areas. Subsequently, 209 purposefully selected farmers were interviewed face-to-face using structured questionnaires and focus discussion groups. Descriptive results revealed that 81%, 67%, and 63% farmers in Ga-Makanye, Gabaza, and Giyani were willing to adopt CSA. Using the double-hurdle model, the t-test was significant at 1%, Prob > chi2 = 0. 0000, indicating a good model. At a 5% confidence level, education, crop diversification, and information about climate-smart agriculture (CSA) positively influenced adoption, while household size and agricultural experience negatively influenced it. It is recommended that the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform, and Rural Development provide CSA workshops and educational programs to farmers to enhance their knowledge and decision-making processes regarding adaptation strategies.
