A study in Lesotho examined the extent to which climate change increased the likelihood of an acute drought in 2007, and a related food crisis . Given land degradation, reliance on rainfed agriculture and food imports from neighbouring South Africa, the study recommended crop diversification, increased use of drought tolerant crop varieties and expanded trade partners in the medium to long term, to both strengthen regional food production and reduce risk of crop failure and the likelihood of climate-induced drought from trade partners reducing food imports . A longitudinal study of smallholder coffee farmers in Nicaragua found that crop diversification, alongside crop management and varietal improvement, would help farmers strengthen food security long term in the face of climate hazards such as drought and coffee leaf rust . Another medium- to long-term adaptation response is to address systemic gender, land tenure and other social inequities as part of an inclusive approach . This long-term strategy could be part of a human-rights-based approach
