Climate change and agricultural technology adoption: the case of drought tolerant maize in rural Nigeria (2012, result): “This result also supports the findings of Deressa et al. (2009) and Nhemachena and Hassan (2007) that farmers who are aware of the changing climate have a higher probability of taking up adaptation measures such as use of new crop varieties.”
Adaptation to climate change through the choice of cropping system and sowing date in sub-Saharan Africa (2013, positive): “While in the Northern provinces of South Africa only 3% (Gbetibouo, 2009) and in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia only 5% (Deressa et al.,2009) of surveyed farmers shift their planting dates to match delayed or early rainfall, Hassan and Nhemachena (2008) found that 16% of more than 8000 households in 11…”
Assessing farmer use of climate change adaptation practices and impacts on food security and poverty in Pakistan (2017, positive): “…gender of the household head proved insignificant – which compares with the mixed results reported in other studies: in some male headed households were more likely to adopt climate risk coping strategies (Deressa et al., 2009) while in others female-headed households (Nhemachena and Nhem, 2007).”
Evaluating agricultural weather and climate services in Africa: Evidence, methods, and a learning agenda (2019, methodology): “, gender, age, farming system) influence access to particular information products and use of particular communication channels? Studies that explore the use of WCS employ similar, though a wider variety of, methods to those that engage issues of access: Data on use is gathered through focus groups,”
Determinants of smallholder farmers’ decision to adopt adaptation options to climate change and variability in the Muger Sub basin of the Upper Blue Nile basin of Ethiopia (2017, background): “Similar results were reported in the previous literature [32, 42, 59, 62].”
Social capital, risk preference and adoption of improved farm land management practices in Ethiopia (2015, background): “, 2008; Suri, 2011), differences in agroecological and climatic conditions (Deressa et al., 2009), as well as heterogeneity among farm households in terms of adoption costs (Berger, 2001; Schreinemachers et al.”
Managing Environmental Risk in Presence of Climate Change: The Role of Adaptation in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2014, methodology): “11 It should be noted that the use of averages is conventional in this strand of literature (e.g., Mendelsohn et al. 1994; Deressa and Hassan 2009).”
Policy support, social capital, and farmers’ adaptation to drought in China (2014, methodology): “How have farmers responded to drought? What major adaptation measures have been adopted? Why are some farmers able to respond to drought while others are not? Has any policy supported farmers when they face serious drought? If yes, how effective have these policies been in helping farmers to adopt a”
Adoption of climate‐smart practices and its impact on farm performance and risk exposure among smallholder farmers in Ghana (2020, background): “The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Australasian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society Inc. climate change adaptation behaviour (e.g. Deressa et al. 2009; Di Falco and Veronesi 2013).”
Determinants of farmers' adaptation to climate change: a micro level analysis in Ghana (2016, result): “Similar findings were reported in Southern Africa where smallholder farmers are unable to meet the transaction cost of adaptation measures due to lack of credit facilities (Nhemachena and Hassan, 2007; Deressa et al., 2009).”
Factors influencing the adaptation of farmers in response to climate change: a review (2019, background): “For example, a higher age in the household heads increased the probability of conducting measures such as planting trees and irrigation (Deressa et al., 2009).”
