Increasing droughts and floods require costlier adaptation responses to reduce risks, such as using drought-tolerant species  and coping strategies for flood-prone households , resulting in soft limits for poorer households who cannot afford these responses. In Namibia, weak governance and poor integration of information, such as disregarding knowledge of urban and rural residents in flood management strategies, has resulted in soft limits to adaptation, leading to temporary or permanent relocation of communities . Shortage of land-namely high population pressure and small per capita land holding-leads to continuous cultivation and results in poor soil fertility. This low productivity is further aggravated by erratic rainfall causing soft limits as farmers cannot produce enough and must depend on food aid .
