摘要

在全球范围内,气候变化适应举措通过提高受援国农民的抵御能力、产量和总体生活水平,显著改善了他们的生计。气候适应使粮食作物的产量显著提高。气候变化事件对加纳的农民,特别是上东部地区的农民产生了不利影响。这包括邦戈地区的豆科作物生产者,邦戈地区是脆弱的热带稀树草原半干旱区的一部分。日益严重的粮食不安全状况和豆类作物歉收表明,适应气候变化的方法存在严重损失。随着时间的推移,农民的适应策略不足,有必要修改项目,以帮助邦戈地区的豆类种植者。本研究还考察了与本土和当代气候变化适应技术相关的障碍,以及当地和当代利益相关者对适应工作的参与。主要数据是通过使用焦点小组讨论和访谈收集的。在三个社区,采用简单的随机抽样技术对70名种植豆类的农民进行抽样,以选择受访者。该研究得出结论,耕作和混合种植是重要的本土适应技术,而预测和增加品种是重要的现代适应策略。农业部和邦戈地区议会是执行适应计划的两个重要实体,而当地农民被强调为关键的利益相关者。此外,研究确定,推广服务薄弱和缺乏将土著适应融入当代实践可能对制定气候变化适应战略构成严重障碍。该研究建议将地方和当代适应战略结合起来,以应对气候变化。

Assessing Indigenous and Modern Adaptation Strategies to Climate Change Among Legumes Producers in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region, Ghana
Globally, climate change adaptation initiatives have significantly improved recipient farmers’ livelihoods by increasing their resilience, production, and overall standard of living. Climate adaptation results in noticeably higher yields from food crops. Climate change events have had a detrimental impact on farmers in Ghana, especially in the Upper East region. This includes producers of legumes in the Bongo District, which is a part of the fragile savanna semi-arid zone. The growing food insecurity and failure of legume crops point to serious losses in climate change adaptation methods. Farmer’s adaptation strategies have fallen short over time, necessitating a revision of programs to assist growers of legumes in the Bongo District. The obstacles connected with indigenous and contemporary adaptation techniques to climate change are also examined in this study, along with local and contemporary stakeholders’ involvement in adaptation efforts. The primary data was gathered through the use of focus group discussions and interviews. In three communities, 70 farmers who grow legumes were sampled using a simple random sampling technique to select the respondents. The study concludes that farming and mixed cropping are important indigenous adaptation techniques, whereas forecasting and greater variety are important modern adaptation strategies. The MoFA and the Bongo District Assembly are the two important entities in executing adaptation plans, while local farmers were highlighted as key stakeholders. Additionally, it was determined that weak extension services and a lack of integration of indigenous adaptations into contemporary practices could pose serious obstacles to developing climate change adaptation strategies. The study recommends integrating local and contemporary adaptation strategies to combat climate change.
