Evidence profile

Sourced from the abstract and stated research gap and stated challenges and future-work section of the source papers, classified as general, spanning 8 journals.

Supporting evidence — 8 representative gaps

• Geospatial Assessment of Climate Variability Impacts on Agricultural Systems and Carbon Sequestration under Regenerative Farming Practices: A Systematic Review (2026) · Asian Journal of Advanced Research and Reports · doi

  The review identifies major structural gaps in the literature, including inadequate integration of climate, agriculture, and carbon dynamics; limited long-term and multiscalar studies; insufficient ground validation; methodological inconsistencies; and substantial geographical underrepresentation of climate-vulnerable regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa.

• IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON SOIL QUALITY, FARMERS LIVELIHOOD ACTIVITIES AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES IN THE FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY (FCT), NIGERIA (2026) · International Journal of Agricultural and Veterinary Science · doi

  The study identifies a gap in understanding the effects of climate change on soil quality and farmers' livelihood activities in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. The research seeks to address the lack of knowledge on the adaptation strategies employed by local communities to mitigate the effects of climate change.

• Weathering the Storm: Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Subsistence Farming in Wegdraai Village (2026) · International Journal of Applied Research in Business and Management · doi

  There is a need to understand the effects of climate change on subsistence farming in Southern Africa. There is a gap in knowledge on the impact of climate change on smallholder farmers. The study aims to address this gap by investigating the effects of climate change on subsistence farming in Wegdraai Village.

• Climate Shocks and Sustainable Household Food Security in Eastern DRC: Causal Evidence from IV CMP and Pseudo Panel Analysis (2026) · Sustainability · doi

  Climate-related disturbances are increasingly identified as major determinants of food insecurity in fragile environments, yet empirical evidence remains scarce in conflict-affected areas such as the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

• Climate adaptation strategies and their determinants among smallholder farmers in North Wollo zone of Eastern Amhara, Ethiopia (2026) · Theoretical and Applied Climatology · doi

  Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural development worldwide, particularly in Africa. Smallholder farmers in Ethiopia are highly vulnerable to climate change due to their reliance on rainfed production systems. Limited access to climate information and institutional support are major challenges to effective adaptation practices.

• Can agricultural cooperatives promote farmers’ adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices? Evidence from three provinces in Central and Western China (2026) · Humanities and Social Sciences Communications · doi

  Climate change affects the interaction among agricultural sectors. Agriculture is the second largest source of greenhouse gases. A substantial transformation of the agricultural system is urgently needed considering the twin concerns of food security and climate change.

• Assessment of Climate Variability and Associated Health Implications under Cyclonic and Anticyclonic Atmospheric Conditions in Ado-Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria (2026) · Nigerian Journal of Applied Physics · doi

  Climate variability remains a major driver of environmental change and socio-economic vulnerability across tropical regions. The growing frequency of weather-related hazards poses a significant challenge to environmental planning and public-health adaptation strategies. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for climatic fluctuations is essential for addressing these challenges.

• Historical climate variability extremes and socio-environmental impacts in Ethiopia (2026) · Discover Environment · doi

  Further research is needed to understand the impacts of climate variability and extremes on specific sectors, such as agriculture and health. Studies should focus on developing region-specific adaptation strategies and improving climate services. Research should prioritize the integration of climate science into national development planning.
