Abstract

Climate shocks have increasingly affected agricultural supply chains in Zimbabwe, necessitating a review of resilience strategies. The review synthesizes empirical studies using critical analysis and thematic synthesis methods. Recent research highlights the vulnerability of smallholder farmers to erratic rainfall patterns, with a notable proportion experiencing yield losses exceeding 30% during droughts. Current literature emphasizes the need for diversified farming practices and improved infrastructure to enhance resilience against climate shocks in Zimbabwe's agricultural sector. The review suggests integrating climate-smart agriculture initiatives into existing policies, alongside enhanced insurance schemes and early warning systems.
