What are the problems that subsistence farmers face in the northern part of Namibia?

Subsistence farmers in northern Namibia face several challenges, including limited access to water resources, which is exacerbated by variable rainfall and climate change. Soil fertility is often low, hindering crop yields, while the lack of infrastructure, such as roads and markets, makes it difficult to sell surplus produce. Additionally, subsistence farmers struggle with the impacts of human-wildlife conflict, particularly from elephants and other animals that can damage crops. These challenges contribute to food insecurity and economic vulnerability for farming households in the region.
