Description of the research topic:
Climate change adaptation among farmers and rural communities has been the main concern of most stakeholders in developing countries, with much focus on assisting farmers to improve their adaptive capacity. Adaptation to climate change has the ability to reduce adverse impacts of climate change on agriculture, reducing financial problems.. Adaptation measures can be classified according to their intent and purposefulness, timing and duration; scale and responsibility; and form. By intent and purposefulness, adaptations undertaken are classified as spontaneous or autonomous vis-à-vis conscious or planned actions. Farmers usually adapt to climate change by modifying the set of crops farmers choose to plant and their agronomic practices. Others also adapt through the use of an improved irrigation system, organic fertilizers, change from farming to non-farming, drought-tolerant crop varieties and mixed cropping. For any effective adaptation policy, the decisions and strategies in addressing the impact of climate change on farmers must take into account farmers’ knowledge and perception of climate change, their potential adaptation measures, and possible barriers and constraints to such adaptation. Combination of different elements is question of the future activity.
