| Summary: | Climate change is predicted to cause a variety of impacts to natural and
systems of life. Various studies the impact of climate change on the agricultural
sector have been carried out. Real impact occur particulary land drought, flood,
crop failure, puso, pest diseases and other impacts. However, not many studies on
farmer adaptation strategies to climate change. This study aims to: (1) determine
the farmers' perceptions of climate change, (2) determine the range of bevahior of
farmer adaptation strategies to climate change, and (3) determine the factors that
influence farmers' adaptation strategies to climate change. The research was
conducted in Seyegan Subdistrict, Sleman District and in Subdistrict Purwosari,
Gunungkidul District with the number of respondents 64 people.
The analytical method used is the table method, chi square, and logit
regression. The results showed that most farmers do not know about climate
change and global warming but feel the impacts of climate change as the
temperature gets hotter, the decline in production, crop failure, drought, difficult
in land cultivation, and decrease the volume of irrigation water. Adaptation
strategies by farmers were organic farming/semi-organic, water-saving farming,
intercropping, crop rotation, use of drought resistant varieties, and stock
management. Factors influencing farmers pursuing a strategy of adaptation to
climate change is the value of livestock production, drought in land cultivated,
and the existence of a permanent source of water irrigation.
