Climate Change adaptation strategies for food security in Zimbabwe

various farm variables of water, soil, micro-climate, seeds, labour and capital. This edifies farmers’ climate change adaptation capacities since it improves their ability to respond to increased variability and rates of climate induced phenomena.

Wind-blown dust is one of the most common aerosol particles in the atmosphere. These particles can affect climate by reflecting and absorbing solar radiation, but also by influencing cloud formation. Dust can be transported over long distances in the air, thereby spreading nutrients to terrestrial Last updated:
