Abstract

As the seasonal crops, rice production is very dependent on the climate carrying capacity, so the changing climate requires the ability of the farmers to adapt. On the other hand, climate change is still a new and complex issue for most people, followed by differences in response to its impact. This study explores the adaptive capacity to climate change of the rice farmers. Survey method applied in rice cultivation area affected by climate change involving 96 rice farmers as respondents. The result shows that rice farmers are less adaptive to climate change, especially those in highland agroecosystem zones. It requires a flow of information and the availability of climate change adaptation support components to the farmers’ side, as well as studies that can extract the determinants of adaptive capacity to climate change of the farmers.
