There is a need to identify effective adaptation strategies that can help agricultural systems address the challenges of climate change. The existing literature on climate change adaptation in agriculture has significant gaps, particularly in terms of context-specific combinations of biophysical, technological, and institutional interventions.

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.

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.
