The document summarizes a study on farmer perceptions of threats to their livelihoods in Zimbabwe and Zambia. It finds that farmers perceive significant changes in weather patterns over the past 5-10 years, including more unpredictable rainfall and higher temperatures. Farmers reported their top stressors as erratic rainfall, lack of capital, and drying water sources in Zambia and climate variability, shortage of drugs, and late supply of inputs in Zimbabwe. However, the study concludes that climate variability and change remain the most critical threats for farmers, even though other stressors like lack of transport and HIV/AIDS also negatively impact their livelihoods.
