Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 61
Abstract
Countrywide many initiatives on mitigation and adaptation approaches in coping with the climate change for smallholder vulnerable farmers to increase their production through adoption of appropriate techniques fail due to inadequate attention to interests and characteristics of stakeholders. The study had been conducted at Manasa block of Neemuch district and Malhargarh block of Mandsaur district of Madhya Pradesh (MP). Two villages were selected purposively from each of the selected blocks thereby constituting four villages for the study. A total of 60 farmers were selected by way of proportionate random sampling method. As many as 14 and 15 stakeholders were selected from Manasa and Malhargarh blocks respectively by following snowball sampling method. In both the blocks, State Department of Agriculture turned up to be the most active stakeholder and it was revealed that majority (70.00%) of the respondents belonged to category of high level of decision-making followed by 18.33% and 11.67% who belonged to medium and low level category of decision-making on adoption of mitigation and adaptation of climate change practices in agriculture respectively. The study recommends that key stakeholders should be identified by any Government/Private agencies before introducing any new program. On the basis of Power, Interest and Legitimacy stakeholders should be given task related to Climate Change in agriculture.
