dc.description.abstractThis thesis study is based on a theoretical framework of vulnerability and coping mechanisms related to climate change, conducted through the lived experience of farmers in two areas of Eritrea. It explores the impact of climate change on rain-fed subsistence mixed crop and livestock-based agriculture, recognizing that vulnerability is affected by poverty, gender and societal conditions. It includes detailed analysis with practical recommendations from farmers regarding struggles for food security. Vulnerable groups include elders and women farmers. Food shortages are alarming in both good and bad years; in good years food production only provides for 5 months.en
