Understanding food security determinants and coping strategies among smallholder farming households in Northern Ethiopia
Empirical information on food insecurity at the disaggregated geographic level is vital for effective interventions. Using a household survey, we explored the prevalence of food insecurity among smallholder farming households and analyzed the factors associated with it in northern Ethiopia. We collected data from 353 smallholder farmers and utilized the dietary intake method to assess and quantify food security. Nearly half (49.3%) of households …
Smallholder livestock farming in the face of climate change: Challenges in the Raya Alamata district of Southern Tigray, Northern Ethiopia
Smallholder livestock farming is a crucial component of African economies, particularly south of the Sahara, sustaining millions of farmers and bolstering food security continent‐wide. Our study investigates into the effects of climate change on smallholder livestock farmers in northern Ethiopia's Raya Alamata district, investigating how farmers are adapting to evolving conditions. A field survey encompassing 177 households within three rural com…

Spatiotemporal drought occurrences in the semi‐closed Raya graben along the northern Ethiopian Rift Valley
Drought has become a major challenge in many Sub‐Saharan Africa countries. This study aimed to investigate the precipitation trends and drought incidents in the semi‐closed Raya graben in Ethiopia. Monthly precipitation records of nine meteorological stations for the years 1980–2016 were studied. The spatio‐temporal drought conditions were analysed using Man‐Kendall and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) techniques. A decreasing trend of prec…
Flood hazard in a semi‐closed basin in northern Ethiopia: Impact and resilience
Even though flooding is a threat to rural communities in plains drained by ephemeral rivers, the magnitude of its impact, coping/prevention mechanisms, and the implications for river management are not well known. In this study, data were collected using a phenomenological‐based research design. Field observations, a questionnaire ( n = 440), key informant interviews (10), and one focus group discussion (with seven discussants) were used to colle…
