A study on Farmer’s knowledge about climate change

Abstract

Present study on Farmer’s knowledge about climate change to affect the farmer’s income and climate change on agriculture will depend on the ultimate form of changed climate, particularly the geographic pattern of temperature, rain fall, relative humidity; wind blow and sun shine. A climate change impact potentially significant to small farm production is loss of soil organic matter due to soil warming. The farmers have been using different strategies to adapt and cope up with uncertain weather and climate based on their experience and acquired knowledge from previous generation. The following example shows their crop selection skills according to the variation under rain fed agro-ecosystem. A climate change impact potentially significant to small farm production is loss of soil organic matter due to soil warming. Higher air temperatures are likely to speed the natural decomposition of organic matter and to increase the rates of other soil processes that affect fertility.
