Description
Summary:This chapter discusses district-specific climate change experiences in Beitbridge, Bulilima and Binga district in the context of Zimbabwe’s policy and responses to climate change. It highlights minority farmer communities “development basket of priorities” and uses this to suggest and develop a model which could help these communities cope better with the climate change threat. Although the experiences of minority farmer communities with climate change are generally the same in south-western districts, coping strategies by these districts have some variations.
