Livestock farmers’ perception and adaptation to climate change: panel evidence from pastoral areas in China
Sansi Yang, Le Yu, Ganxiao Leng & Huanguang Qiu
Abstract
As the world's largest land use sector, livestock farming is vulnerable to climate change. This study adds to existing literature by investigating the impacts of herders’ climate change perceptions on adaptive strategies and distinguishing between the short-run and long-run effects. We use double-hurdle models and an unbalanced panel dataset of 1514 household observations collected from the pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet for the period of 2016–2018. We find that perceptions of long-term temperature and rainfall changes lead farmers to adopt various adaptive strategies, whereas perceptions of short-term weather hazards mainly trigger production management strategies such as forage supplementation and herd destocking, without affecting long-term strategic planning such as engaging in non-agricultural jobs to diversify income sources. The findings that livestock farmers tend to adopt temporary strategies under short-term perceptions while seeking more resilient adaptations under long-term perceptions are robust, based on alternative measures for adaptation intensity and under different production scales. An understanding of these strategies provides a means of influencing the adaptive responses of vulnerable groups.

作为世界上最大的土地使用部门,畜牧业很容易受到气候变化的影响。本研究通过探讨牧民气候变化感知对适应策略的影响,并区分短期和长期影响,对现有文献进行补充。我们使用双栏模型以及2016-2018年从内蒙古、新疆和西藏牧区收集的1514个家庭观测数据的非平衡面板数据集。我们发现,对长期气温和降雨量变化的感知会导致农户采取各种适应措施,而对短期天气灾害的感知主要影响其生产管理策略,如牧民补充牧草饲料、减少牲畜等,而不影响从事非农工作促进收入来源多元化等长期战略规划。通过替换适应强度的衡量变量,且在不同的生产规模下,在短期感知下牧民倾向于采取临时性措施,而在长期感知下寻求更具弹性的适应措施,这一结论是稳健的。理解这些措施为影响弱势群体的适应性反应提供了一种手段。关键词
