Análise da capacidade de adaptação da comunidade de Gimo em Boane em resposta aos impactos das mudanças climáticas na agricultura

Abstract

This study focuses on analysing the adaptive capacity of the community of Gimo, Boane to climate change (CC) in agriculture based on local knowledge. To carry out the research employed a qualitative approach and applied non-probability convenience sampling. by convenience, having covered six native farmers of Gimo district. The technique of data collection used was the semi-structured interview. With the study it was found that agriculture practiced by the community of Gimo suffers from the effects of MC (drought, drought and floods), in an attempt to reduce the impacts in times that are reflected in the scarcity of this community, adopts some adaptation measures that allow them to reduce agricultural agricultural losses and guarantee the survival of their families. With these results we conclude that although the community suffers with the effects of CC, they manage to guarantee their survival by developing measures that guarantee their survival in dry seasons, thus this community can reduce and even avoid losses in this season, but continue to suffer damage in rainy season. Following this, it is recommended that the community of Gimo intensifies its adaptation measures, also investing in adaptation practices that ensure their survival in rainy seasons or in periods of flooding.
