Abstract
Climate change is not only the driver behind contemporary economic disruptions but also constitutes a burgeoning national security threat. This empirical study assesses the profound impacts of climatic variability on agricultural productivity and food security framework within Somalia, utilizing primary data synthesized from 100 smallholder farmers in Jowhar.
Adopting a rigorous descriptive research approach, the investigation analyzes local agricultural perceptions, temperature anomalies, and precipitation irregularities to evaluate sectoral vulnerability and institutional adaptive capacities.
Core Research Findings
- Climatic Anomalies: The empirical data demonstrates a high level of localized environmental awareness, with documented direct observations of irregular precipitation patterns and escalating thermal stress.
- Agricultural Vulnerability: Climatic shifts have severely compromised agrarian output, culminating in systemic declines in crop yields, acute irrigation water scarcity, and a subsequent depletion of agricultural household income.
- Institutional Limitations: The diagnostics indicate that farming infrastructure in Jowhar remains highly vulnerable to climate shocks, suffering from a critical deficit in government-backed extension services and structural adaptation frameworks.
