| dc.description.abstract | Ethiopia is predominantly dependent on rain-fed mixed farming with traditional technologies, and it is the backbone of the country’s economy, but the most vulnerable sector to climate change and variability. The objective of this study was to assess climate change adaption response and its impact on household food security in Basona Werana Woreda Amhara region, Ethiopia. From the cross-sectional survey of 138 farm households from Wayou Kebeles and time-series climate data from metrological satellite data was employed. The primary and secondary data were analyzed by using both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze farmers’ food security status and adaptation options to climate change and variability. To assess household food security status of the respondent’s household food consumption score and household food insecurity access scale was used, tobit model was used to examine climate change adaptation option and ordered logistic regression was employed to examine the contribution of climate change adaptation on the food insecurity status of households. The result showed frequency of extension service, training access, farm size, and gender of the household head, frequency of flood and access for credit showed a significant impact for adaption. The ordered logistic regression model showed that household food security status were significantly influenced by cultivated land procession, Crop failure, soil and water conservation participation, small scale irrigation use, diversification of new crop varieties, diversification of sources of livelihood, agro-forestry, fertilizer application. Therefore Policies and implementation on climate change adaption strategies should emphasized on a collaborated action climate smart approach to reduce the impact of climate change on agricultural sector across the national level and local levels to enhancing household food security. | en_US |
