A comparative study of past and projected future dynamics of drought hazards across the districts of the Northern Cape Province, South Africa: Analysis of CRU TS4 data and Cordex-Africa RCM simulation…
Drought is among the most pressing natural disasters of the 21st century. The need for insights to support local decision-making in planning and mitigation is critical. The Northern Cape Province of South Africa is highly drought-prone, yet its historical and projected drought patterns are not well understood. Therefore, this study assessed past (1962–2022), near-future (2023–2050), and far-future (2051–2100) drought dynamics across its five dist…
Indigenous knowledge indicators employed by farmers for adaptation to climate change in rural South Africa
The majority of indigenous farmers in South Africa depend on rain-fed agricultural production for their livelihoods. Reliable indigenous weather forecasts are, therefore, required to guide rural farmers’ decisions in regard to climate change. Much of the literature has shown that western scientific knowledge has failed at rural level. Indigenous knowledge has, for the past century assisted rural farmers’ households in tackling the challenges of c…
Harmful Algal Blooms in Aquaculture Systems in Ngerengere Catchment, Morogoro, Tanzania: Stakeholder’s Experiences and Perception
The aquaculture sector has experienced fast growth as a result of livelihood diversification initiatives among small-scale farmers in Tanzania. Regrettably, the dynamics of harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been overlooked despite the noticeable forcing of climate variability, the interaction between social-economic activities, and domestic water supply reservoirs. This study aimed at surveying the occurrence, experiences, and perceptions of HABs …
Determinants of small-scale farmers’ choice and adaptive strategies in response to climatic shocks in Vhembe District, South Africa
Climate change is one of the multiple challenges facing all categories of farmers globally. However, African farmers are the most sensitive in respect of climate variability and change. Climate change impacted negatively on crop production and the livelihoods of the local farmers. In black township South Africa, agricultural activities are highly dominated by small-scale farmers, whose farming system is highly vulnerable to changes in climate. Th…
Climate Change Grounded on Empirical Evidence as Compared with the Perceptions of Smallholder Farmers in Vhembe District, South Africa
In South Africa, the smallholding-farming system is a dominant economic activity in rural communities. This study examines smallholder-farmers' perceptions in regards to climate changes, in comparison with evidence from meteorological data from 1980-2015, across Vhembe District; data from a questionnaire and recorded meteorological were used. The results reveal that, farmers' perceptions of climatic conditions are consistent with meteorological d…
