Authorized by Dereje Mosissa
This study is an
investigation of effectiveness of soil and water conservation practices as
climate smart agriculture and its’ contribution to the livelihoods of
smallholder’s farmers in Bambasi District of Northwestern Ethiopia. It was
hypothesized that there is no relationship between factors contributing to the
adoption of SWC technologies and a number of SWC technologies adopted, as well
as there is no relationship between the number of SWC technologies used by
farmers and access to the livelihood assets. In order to address the
objectives, both primary and secondary data were used for the study. The study
applied a non-experimental design (explanatory) to collect primary data from a
sample of 270 households drawn from the three Kebeles. Stratified random
sampling technique was also used along with the simple random sampling
technique in each stratum. The data collected was then analyzed by inferential
statistics such as chi-square by using STATA 14.2 and Microsoft office Excel.
