Diversification of agriculture practices as a response to climate change impacts among farmers in low-income countries: a systematic literature review

The primary objective of this study is to systematically review the literature on the diversification of agriculture practice as one of the many ways farmers in low-income countries can respond and adapt to the worsening impacts of climate change. To ascertain the rigor in its methodology, this syst...
