The phenomenon of climate change presents a substantial obstacle to the attainment food self-sufficiency and overall welfare rural communities. Climate has significantly impacted agricultural sector in India, with majority population being more susceptible due their direct or indirect reliance on sector. process adapting is multifaceted involves various factors, including economic, cultural, institutional, biophysical aspects. Long-term could threaten marginalised groups' livelihoods, thus proactive planning needed. Strategic research that raises awareness encourages adaptation helps Indian agriculture withstand climatic variability change. This study evaluates farmers' knowledge willingness adopt climate-resilient practices farming activities. investigation involved 120 farmers from Hisar Fatehabad districts, randomly selected two villages each district viz., Sharwa Chirod, Gorakhpur Jandlikalan, gather data. found have high level about crop production practices, adoption rates for insurance, field sanitation, irrigation scheduling, seed treatment. However, there are areas where lacking, such as post-harvest losses, natural resource conservation, cultivation methods, tolerant varieties, credit facilities. To improve awareness, need promote enhance less widely accepted facilities, conservation schemes, methods. highlights some challenges include lack change, labor scarcity, limited resources, inadequate training, poor institutional financial support.

Given that Ethiopian agriculture is seriously threatened by climate change, understanding the factors influence adoption of various climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices supports policy interventions to reduce negative effects change. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring determinants multiple CSA focusing on crop production. This used data from 271 randomly selected smallholder farmers Gamo, Gofa and Konso zones southern Ethiopia, a multivariate probit (MVP) model analyse data. Crop diversification, irrigation, drought-tolerant early-maturing varieties, integrated soil fertility management, pest management were prominent improve productivity, increase adaptivity capacity, mitigate adverse change in area. The study's findings indicate varies considerably between agroecology. MVP simulation result reveals farmers' decisions for are highly interdependent, indicating adopt two or more adaptation mitigation strategies as mutual practices. Furthermore, regression education level farmers, extension contact, accessing variability information, access irrigation facilities, social group participation similar underlying affected decision By providing respective organizations should encourage utilize available alternate climate-resilient varieties. In addition, strengthening norms through cooperatives training application suggested spur uptake.

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has emerged as a promising strategy for tackling the challenges of agricultural productivity, resilience, and climate change mitigation. However, its adoption among smallholder farmers in Mt. Kenya East region remained low uneven due to socio-economic barriers. This study examined demographic predictors influencing CSA Mukothima Ward, Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya, focusing on household characteristics, farmland attributes, economic social capital. A mixed-methods design was used, integrating quantitative qualitative data from survey 418 respondents six focus group discussions, respectively. The findings revealed that land size, membership, access credit, being lead farmer were significant adoption. Male-headed households more likely adopt capital-intensive practices, while female-headed households, youth, with disabilities faced Social capital, particularly community self-help groups, crucial enabler adoption, mitigating systemic barriers such limited credit extension services. emphasizes need targeted interventions promote climate-vulnerable areas. Recommendations include tenure reforms, financial inclusion, gender-sensitive strategies, strengthening institutional support improve women, disabilities.

Agriculture is significantly impacted by the variability in weather patterns, imposing substantial constraints on farmers’ ability to make informed tactical and strategic decisions regarding their crops. Seasonal climate projections have shown potential for informing agricultural decisions, but actual adoption of information farmers has been relatively slow limited. The present study was conducted with objective investigating characteristics adopters, communication network, level farmer’s satisfaction concerning continued use Agromet Advisories Services (AAS). Two semi-arid districts, namely Kurnool Anantapur Andhra Pradesh, were purposively selected, wherein 280 constituted sampling frame. In this study, social network analysis (SNA) examine peer-to-peer while importance-performance (IPA) employed evaluate satisfaction, contributing AAS. findings revealed that regard personality characteristics, low category cope uncertainties risk even information-seeking behavior. Furthermore, results showed be highly satisfied overall However, IPA matrix among nine attributes, credibility forecasts needed refinement promote sustained adoption. Excessive emphasis placed attributes such as frequency forecasts, which could channeled into other initiatives.

Qualitative interviews with farmers local institutions supporting Nandom, Ghana, were conducted. We found that employed (1) farmer-field schools (FFS) for capacity building to provide relevant knowledge managing CSA practices; (2) credit extension packages reduce financial barriers accessing inputs technologies CSA. also sociocultural, financial, logistical, technological constraints are the most important hampering institutions` ability effectively facilitate Furthermore, we observed encourage uptake of practices, particularly among vulnerable groups such as women, social power dynamics surrounding resource access utilization must be addressed.
