Abstract

Climate change is one of the most serious ecological problems, and it has a wide-scale effect on agricultural productivity all over the globe. In general, farmers know little about climate change, and their understanding of its impacts on agriculture is poor. Additionally, farmers play the most important role in supporting the economy. This research was conducted to understand farmers' knowledge about climate change. Check the level of knowledge they have. The present study, ‘knowledge level of farmers towards climate change on crop production’ was conducted in 2023. A total of 120 participants were selected from eight different villages’ two tehsils, Vallabhnagar and Mavli. The research revealed that farmers' knowledge about climate change was ascertained at medium level and the independent variables namely age, caste, education, family type, house, sources of knowledge and economic motivation were positively and significantly correlated with knowledge level of the farmers about climate change.
