Reviewer 2 Report
The main objective of this paper is to argue that a blended approach of the FFS and the CFS could help smallholder farmers in east Africa to improve agricultural practices in the situation of climate change related adversities. The paper seems to have originality in this field in terms of topic, methodology, and arguments. However, it is recommended the paper, particularly chapter 3, “Results”, should be revised to show main findings more clearly. It is quite hard to draw directly key lessons from the empirical results. Five discussions in chapter 4, which of headings are wrong numbered, also are not precisely connected to the findings. So the reviewer suggests the authors to revise the paper for readers to distinctly understand the connection of arguments with the findings, and if possible, to add a concise conceptual framework of the paper other than a lot of figures, tables, and photos.
