a case study of smallholder farmers in Sagbama community, Bayelsa State, NigeriaSamenvatting
Flooding has become more common in many developing nations as a result of increasing urbanization and climate change. As a result, community people are constantly confronted with the harmful impacts of floods. Flooding is a recurring issue in Nigeria, causing huge economic losses as a result of damage to key infrastructures such as roads and buildings, and loss of crops and valuable agricultural land. The government's action, however, has also been painfully slow and bureaucratic for community members in dire need of government assistance, often leaving smallholder farmers more vulnerable to the threat hence urgent action is needed in many vulnerable communities to mitigate their effects and to build resilience to this menace.
