Abstract
Production systems have their own
peculiarities when it comes to agricultural practices, and everything centres
around the objective of production. Farming practices dictate the success or
failure of the production of a certain crop and in many cases can be linked to
climate change. This review looks at the current situation regarding food
production and the resilience of communities in southern Africa in the face of
food insecurity. Resilience has been linked to intelligent agricultural
production practices due to the ease with which these production factors can be
monitored in the midst of many uncertainties in the context of rainfall for
irrigating agricultural fields. Although there are many approaches, research
shows that there is much to be done in terms of finding better strategies for
disseminating the most suitable practices to communities, new methodologies for
seeking information about the real situation of food insecurity, resilient
agricultural practices, maintaining soil fertility and community resilience.
There is another paradigm that suggests looking for mechanisms to favour crops
that can easily be preserved for a long time by naturally occurring methods and
conditions. Overall, it can be seen that climate-smart food farming practices
are the main act of community resilience aimed at producing resilient food with
productive success.
