Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Drylands are negatively affected by climate change. Climate change decrease the farmers’ income because of variation in its existence. Adaptation is defined as one of the option to reduce the negative impact of climate change. The purpose of the study is to analyze the adaptation behavior of dry land farmers to climate change and the barriers faced by the dry land farmers while taking adaptation measures to climate change. The study was based on the interview of 100 dry land farmers from five villages. Thus the study identified the adaptation techniques employed by the farmers and the barriers faced by them while practicing it. The study revealed that medium level of the dry land farmers have changed their crop management practices and involved in subsidiaries activities as an adaptation measures and also it was found that most of the dry land farmers affected by the cost of inputs, labour shortage, lack of information about climate change etc.
