Since agricultural productivity is weather and climate-related fundamentally depends on climate stability, change poses many diverse challenges to activities. The objective of this study review adaptation strategies interventions in countries around the world proposed for implementation reduce impact development production at various spatial scales. A literature search was conducted June–August 2023 using electronic databases Google Scholar Scientific Electronic Library eLibrary.RU, seeking key words “climate”, “climate change”, “agriculture adaptation”. Sixty-five studies were identified selected review. negative impacts are expressed terms reduced crop yields area, biotic abiotic factors, economic losses, increased labor, equipment costs. Strategies actions that can be emphasized local regional levels are: varieties management, including land use innovative breeding techniques; water soil agronomic practices; farmer training knowledge transfer; national levels: financial schemes, insurance, migration, culture; meteorological services; R&D, early warning systems. Adaptation depend context, region, or country; limiting discussion options measures only one type approach—"top-down” “bottom-up”—may lead unsatisfactory solutions those areas most affected by but with few resources adapt it. Biodiversity-based, “ecologically intensive” agriculture, climate-smart agriculture low-impact strong ecological modernization aiming sustainably increase incomes while addressing interrelated food security. Some taken response may not sufficient even vulnerability change. Future research should focus explore readiness farmers society adopt new constraints they face, as well main factors affecting them, order detect maladaptation before it occurs.

Climate change poses a risk to agricultural activity. Understanding farmers' behaviors is increasingly important for managing climate risks and improving their adaptive capacity. This study aims identify the key risk-related drivers influencing several adaptation mitigation strategies by adopting various Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies reduce vulnerability. We investigate interrelated nature of adoption CSA related soil fertility, conservation, agroforestry, agro-advisory apps, alternative coffee farming practices. To explore role perceived technology adoption, we constructed an extended model that combines protection motivation theory, social demographic determinants. collected empirical data from 519 farmers in Costa Rica analyzed through multivariate probit technique. The analysis reveals how influence severity, vulnerability, response efficacy, self-efficacy, cost changes according technology. As risks, show likelihood focused on decreases with increasing risk. Other determinants, such as number buyers membership organization, steer fertility practices, mobile apps. Main theoretical implications include integration perceptions since it reflects fear potential losses or additional costs associated implementing these finding gives nuanced explanation decisions under pressing threats. Practical are promotion programs must consider see decisions, meaning more fruitful synergies could be promoted acknowledging bundled multiple technologies. Thus, promoting mix practices essential achieving resilience while productivity.

Agriculture is one of the most sensitive and vulnerable activities to climate variations; change impacts crop yield, soil processes, water availability, pest dynamic. Farmers are on front lines change-induced stressors, shifts, shocks, having provide solutions as planners, performers, innovators working under challenging uncertain risk conditions. Extensive research has been carried out deepen farmers' behavior risks posed by change.
