Article Synopsis
- The paper examines how farmers in the mid-hills of Nepal choose climate change adaptation strategies and improved agroforestry practices, highlighting the gap in previous research on this topic.
- Local understanding of climate change and its impacts were assessed through surveys and interviews, showing that while most farmers experienced climate challenges, only a minority recognized these as climate change issues.
- Factors such as age, education, and commercial crop habits were found to significantly influence both the adoption of adaptation strategies and the selection of improved agroforestry practices, indicating a need for enhanced education and training to raise awareness among farmers.
This study explores different socio-economic and institutional factors influencing the adoption of improved soil conservation technology (ISCT) on Bari land (Rainfed outward sloping terraces) in the Middle Mountain region of Central Nepal. Structured questionnaire survey and focus group discussion methods were applied to collect the necessary information from farm households. The logistic regression model predicted seven factors influencing the adoption of improved soil conservation technology in the study area including years of schooling of the household head, caste of the respondent, land holding size of the Bari land, cash crop vegetable farming, family member occupation in off farm sector, membership of the Conservation and Development Groups, and use of credit.
