TL;DR: The results are indicative of the importance of crop diversification as a viable climate smart agriculture practice that significantly enhances crop productivity and consequently resilience in rural smallholder farming systems and recommend wider adoption of diversified cropping systems notably those currently less diversified for greater adaptation to the ever-changing climate.

TL;DR: Results suggest that effective institutional and policy efforts targeted towards reducing resource constraints that inhibit farmers' capacity to adopt complementary climate-smart agriculture packages such as conservation agriculture, drought tolerant maize and improved legume varieties must be gender sensitive and context specific.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined factors influencing household food security among smallholder farmers in the Mudzi district of Zimbabwe using a structured questionnaire, and found that household dietary diversity is influenced by the age and education of the household head, household labour and size, livestock ownership, access to market information and remittances.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used t-tests to classify adopters and non-adopters of soil, land and water conservation measures and binomial logit models to identify the factors that influence farmers' knowledge and adoption of land productivity practices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of crop diversification and other household socioeconomic characteristics on the household Food Consumption Score and Household Food Insecurity Access Score in central Malawi.
