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 EU rural development policy has addressed challenges related to climate change in agriculture by introducing public voluntary schemes, which financially support the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices. Several factors, most of which are non-financial ones, drive adoption and continuation...
The objective of this paper is to review both supply- and demand-side measures for climate-smart agriculture and discuss their interlinkages, trade-offs, and context- and site-specific validity. The literature reviewed focuses on studies during the last decade (2008–2017) addressing food- and...
Le secteur agricole est le premier employeur au niveau mondial et les actifs familiaux forment l'essentiel de cette force de travail. L'agriculture familiale produit plus de 70 % de la production alimentaire et gère une proportion considérable des ressources naturelles....
