摘要

气候变化严重影响小规模农业,由于无法获得先进的科学技术,小规模农业的适应能力有限。传统方法是理想选择,但现代适应措施需要大量资金投入,影响了资源不足的小农农业部门的经济活动。本研究通过面对面访谈和半结构化问卷调查的方式,对来自四个村庄的 244 位农民进行了抽样调查,分析了小规模菜农适应气候变化的驱动因素。利用逻辑回归模型,结果显示资源(推广服务)、制度(协会会员资格)和社会影响(农产品失窃和动物闯入农田)与研究地区使用现代气候变化适应措施有关。研究建议扩大推广服务,加强社区警务,制定社区放牧指南,并对农民进行气候变化原因、社会凝聚力和减缓战略方面的培训,以解决农产品盗窃和动物非法入侵问题。本研究通过提供经验证据,指出在小农农业部门进行气候变化适应干预时,需要考虑农民的关键非气候因素,从而为气候变化适应方面的讨论贡献了新的知识。

Socioeconomic determinants of modern climate change adaptation of small-scale vegetable farmers in Bohlabela District, Mpumalanga Province
Climate change significantly impacts small-scale agriculture, with limited adaptation capabilities due to lack of access to advanced science and technology. Traditional methods are ideal, but modern adaptations require significant financial investment, affecting the smallholder under-resourced agricultural sector's economic activities. The study analyzed climate change adaptation drivers among small-scale vegetable farmers, using a representative sample of 244 farmers from four villages through face-to-face interviews and semi-structured questionnaires. Using the Logistic regression model, the results showed resources (extension services), institutional (association membership) and societal influence (farm produce theft, and animal trespassing in the farming plots) to be associated with the use of modern climate change adaptation measures in the study area. The study recommends expanding extension services, strengthening community policing, creating community grazing guidelines, and training farmers on climate change causes, social cohesion, and mitigation strategies to address farm produce theft and animal trespassing. The study contributes new knowledge to the discourse of climate change adaptation by providing empirical evidence pointing out the need to consider critical non-climate factors for farmers when making climate change adaptations interventions in the smallholder farming sector.
