Factors influencing farmers’ choices of adaptation to climate change in Ekiti State, Nigeria (2014, methodology): “Common adaptation methods in agriculture include the use of new crop varieties and livestock, species that are more suited to drier conditions, irrigation, crop diversification, mixed crop livestock farming systems, change of planting dates, diversification from farm to non-farm activities, increase”
Farmers' prioritization of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies (2017, background): “Farmers' age and gender significantly influence the choice of technologies to climate change adaptation in agriculture (Nhemachena and Hassan, 2007; Maddison, 2006).”
Determinants of farmers’ choice of adaptation methods to climate change in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2009, background): “Various studies in developing countries, including Ethiopia, report a strong positive relationship between access to information and the adoption behavior of farmers (Yirga, 2007), and that access to information through extension increases the likelihood of adapting to climate change (Maddison, 2006”
Determinants of small-scale farmers’ choice and adaptive strategies in response to climatic shocks in Vhembe District, South Africa (2020, result): “As indicated earlier on female farmers were mostly likely to employed new crops as a strategy of adaptation to climate change, is in lines with a study by Nhemachena and Hassan (2007) which could help to reduce negative impacts to climate variations.”
Assessing the Livelihood Vulnerability of Rural Indigenous Households to Climate Changes in Central Nepal, Himalaya (2019, background): “Increased access to information on climate change enables a household in planning proactive adaptation measures against climate risks [42,43].”
Factors influencing the adaptation of farmers in response to climate change: a review (2019, background): “Gender was included in explaining the adjustments in doing business, the adoption of improved technologies or adaptive measures (Anyoha et al., 2013; Asfaw & Admassie, 2004; Nhemachena & Hassan, 2007; Tenge, De Graaff, & Hella, 2004).”
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): “Nhemachena and Hassan [72] reported that better access to weather information has a positive influence on the decision to invest in SWC measures, use of irrigation, use of drought-tolerant crop varieties, and diversify livelihood options in response to climate change problem.”
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.”
