Assessment of smallholder farmers strategies and adaptive capacities to climate change

a case of Konia district, Liberia

Samenvatting

Over the last ten years, Liberia has recorded temperature increase and low rainfall. Due to this, productivity in agriculture has drastically decreased and now Liberia imports 75% of its staple food(rice). Liberia’s agriculture segment is considered forest-based under traditional systems of subsistence farming in the upland with rigorous labour of shifting cultivation and with low technological-based production. Climate change has a damaging effect on small-scale agriculture in Konia District, causing low productivity, poor crop growth, low income, damage of crops, and shift in livelihood sources. The objective of this study is to gain insight into the agricultural strategies and adaptive capacities being employed by smallholder farmers in response to climate change in Konia District.
