Examining The Role of Livelihood Diversification as a Part of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) Strategy

Öz

Climate change poses a severe threat to agricultural livelihood due to the increased intensity of environmental shocks and weather variability. Livelihood diversification plays an important role to cope with climate variability and diminishing food insecurity. This study investigates the main drivers of livelihood diversification such as crop production, livestock farming, and off-farm income diversification, particularly focusing on the part of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) strategy and its impact on farm households welfare. Data were collected from 420 farmers in 35 villages located in different agro-ecological zones (AEZs) of Punjab province, Pakistan. We used the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) model to regress a system of equations consists of the crop, livestock, and off-farm income-generating livelihood activities. Estimation shows that crop, livestock and off-farm diversification on average have a positive and significant impact on welfare when farmers adopted it as an adaptation strategy to mitigate the impact of climate change and earned more 9.3 % income than nonadopted farmers. Moreover, positive and significant determinants of assets endowment such as human, physical, natural, social and financial capital confirmed that well-endowed farmers were enabled more to adopt livelihood diversification than other farmers. Based on the findings, we suggest the policy implications regarding the institutional interventions aimed at strengthening the most important livelihood diversification drivers, to support for improving the household strategic assets endowments.
