In this study the farmers were first asked to answer two sets of statements related to views on climate change and experiences on changes so far in their own farm or nearby locations. With additional questions and statements in the survey we assessed farmers’ views and intentions to change farming practices that could sustain adaptation to climate change, improve resilience to climate change and variability, have an impact on nutrient leaching and biodiversity and in general sustain long-term sustainability of crop production systems.This work assessed farmers’ views and intentions to change farming practices that could sustain adaptation to climate change, improve resilience to climate change and variability, have an impact on nutrient leaching and biodiversity and in general sustain long-term sustainability of crop production systems. Furthermore, aimed to identify any possible mismatches between farmers’ views and their intention to act to enable the characterization of hotspots for future knowledge sharing and for the development of policies to encourage efficient changes in crop production systems.
Agriculture in South Asia is vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, adaptation measures are required to sustain agricultural productivity, to reduce vulnerability, and to enhance the resilience of the agricultural system to climate change. There are many adaptation practices in the...
Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) proposes environmental policies developed around action-based conservation measures supported by agri-environment schemes (AES). High Nature Value (HNV) farming represents a combination of low-intensity and mosaic practices mostly developed in agricultural marginalized rural areas which sustain rich...
The development of future food systems will depend on normative decisions taken at different levels by policymakers and stakeholders. Scenario modeling is an adequate tool for assessing the implications of such decisions, but for an enlightened debate, it is important...
This research delves into the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) among seven types of independent smallholders in Rokan Hulu regency, Riau province. The research area consisted of a relative established agricultural area on mineral soils and a relative frontier,...
This study addresses this particular research gap by adopting a multi-scale approach to understand how climatic and non-climatic stressors vary, and interact, across three spatial scales (household, community and district levels) to influence livelihood vulnerability of smallholder farming households in...
