Assessing the impact of climate change adaptation on agriculture production in eastern Uganda
Abstract
114 words
The objective of the study is to assess the costs and benefits of
the key gendered climate change adaptation strategies used by
farmers in Mbale and Soroti districts, two diverse areas in
eastern Uganda and investigate their potential based on
economic, social and environmental sustainability. A Trade Off
Analysis (TOA) model will be used to analyse the relationship
between the net returns from using an adaptation strategy and
the effect on environment. Trade off curves will be generated
to show the opportunity cost of choosing one strategy over
another under similar environment. The results from this study
will reinforce local knowledge on adaptation and importance of
gender considerations in climate change adaptation policy
formulation.
