Overview

Survey study reveals key socioeconomic determinants of climate adaptation in potato farmers, highlighting credit and agricultural extension needs.

Key Points

  • To identify socioeconomic factors and institutional constraints influencing the adoption of climate change adaptation measures among Irish potato farmers.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional survey using multi-stage sampling across four Local Government Areas in Plateau State, Nigeria (N=231).
  • Administered structured questionnaires to capture farmers' socioeconomic profiles and institutional constraints.
  • Applied descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression to identify determinants of adaptation adoption.
  • Adaptation adoption was significantly and positively driven by climate change awareness (β = 6.557, p < 0.01), extension contact (β = 3.352, p < 0.01), farming season (β = 2.668, p < 0.05), access to credit (β = 2.050, p < 0.10), and age (β = 1.963, p < 0.10).
  • Farm size exhibited a significant negative association with climate change adaptation adoption (β = -3.030, p < 0.05).
  • Primary barriers limiting adaptive responses included insufficient financial capital, land scarcity, inadequate extension outreach, and high costs of agricultural inputs.
