During the floods of 2014, Pakistan lost 267 human lives. 2.5 million people were
displaced, 129,880 houses were fully or partially destroyed, and over 1 million
acres of cropland and 250,000 farmers were affected, which resulted in the loss of
cash crops and standing food. Using Intersectionality Theory, the current study
examines the effects of income, education, land ownership, land type, disaster
type, gender, and disability on the loss of agricultural crops, controlling for
respondents’ age. Secondary data was used for this study from a 2012 baseline
survey of disaster risk reduction, conducted by a nongovernment organization in
District Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan. Logistic regression was used to analyze
the data. Results indicated that education of household head, high income, and land
ownership decreased the likelihood of losing agricultural crops, whereas floods,
women-headed households, and disabled family members increased the likelihood
of losing agricultural crops.
