The phrase "adopting adaptation" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing the process of embracing change or modifying strategies, but it is not commonly used.
Example: "In the face of climate change, adopting adaptation is crucial for sustainable development."
Alternatives: "embracing change" or "implementing adjustments".
Here it is suggested that a lack of capacity in terms of (financial) means and staff members prevents local governments from adopting adaptation programs more broadly [72].
In order to provide information on household's probability of adopting adaptation options on household food security, a probit model is used to match adopter and non-adopter households.
This result reveals that a unit increase in a number of livestock in TLU would result in a 3.35% decrease in the probability of adopting adaptation options.
Therefore, in the absence of state or federal prioritization of climate change issues in the public health arena, funding resources are likely to remain a constraint to adopting adaptation measures.
Thirdly, the result indicates the importance of gender of the household heads to adopt adaptation options.
On the contrary, livestock holding in TLU negatively influences household's decision to adopt adaptation options at 5% probability level.
For example, the adopted adaptation strategy may change based on monitored parameters or based on a time period that aggregates do not change significantly.
Following on from the constraints to adopt adaptation measures, respondents were asked what assistance they would require to address climate change.
The overall goal of this study is to examine the influence of policies and social capital on farmers' decisions to adopt adaptation measures against drought.
Results show that the decision to adopt adaptation options is found to be positively influenced by male household heads, family size, access to extension service, the size of landholding, and frequency of drought and floods over the past many years.
This finding is in line with results of previous studies that showed a positive relationship between early warning information and farmer's decision to adopt adaptation option (Deressa, Yehualashet, Rajan, 2014; Phillipo, Bushesha, Mvena, 2015).
