Impact of climate variability threatens food security and production especially among the rural farming households. The study was conducted in North West Province of South Africa, to identify climate change adaptation techniques and to analyze prioritization of farmers on cultivation, both in the past and present. A total number of 497 rural household maize farmers were selected through a stratified sampling method from two district municipalities. Descriptive statistics were used to compute the mean, frequency and percentages, while Wilcoxon sign rank test established farmers' prioritization on cultivation. The results show different adaptation strategies used. On the other hand, Wilcoxon sign rank test showed a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) between the farmers prioritization on cultivation both in the past and present. The study recommends incorporation of conservation agricultural practices to the existing strategies. 2019 artículo científico 0120-9965 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=180365069008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1803/180365069008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1803/180365069008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1803/180365069008/180365069008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1803/180365069008/movil 10.15446/agron.colomb.v37n1.77545 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1803 Agronomía Colombiana application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Agronomía Colombiana (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.37 |
