“…Füssel 2007; Geneletti and Zardo 2016). Bonzanigo et al (2014) state “it is crucial to include an assessment of farmers’ autonomous adaptation into the design and evaluation of rural policy measures.” It can be assumed that hidden and multi-purpose CCA action do not only play a role in Tyrolean agriculture, but will also be relevant in other sectors and elsewhere. These “hidden CCA” can be considered as autonomous from the perspective of climate change, but might be clearly planed and motivated from other intentions, such as market stabilization or nature conservation.…”

Our scientific view on climate change adaptation (CCA) is unsatisfying in many ways: It is often dominated by a modernistic perspective of planned pro-active adaptation, with a selective focus on measures directly responding to climate change impacts and thus it is far from real-life conditions of those who are actually affected by climate change. Farmers have to simultaneously adapt to multiple changes. Therefore, also empirical climate change adaptation research needs a more integrative perspective on real-life climate change adaptations. This also has to consider “hidden” adaptations, which are not explicitly and directly motivated by CCA but actually contribute to the sector’s adaptability to climate change. The aim of the present study is to develop and test an analytic framework that contributes to a broader understanding of CCA and to bridge the gap between scientific expertise and practical action. The framework distinguishes three types of CCA according to their climate related motivations: explicit adaptations, multi-purpose adaptations, and hidden adaptations. Although agriculture is among the sectors that are most affected by climate change, results from the case study of Tyrolean mountain agriculture show that climate change is ranked behind other more pressing “real-life-challenges” such as changing agricultural policies or market conditions. We identified numerous hidden adaptations which make a valuable contribution when dealing with climate change impacts. We conclude that these hidden adaptations have not only to be considered to get an integrative und more realistic view on CCA; they also provide a great opportunity for linking adaptation strategies to farmers’ realities.

“…to be most severe on the agricultural sectors and farmers in lower-income/highly agriculturaldependent countries because these countries lack resilient infrastructures [95,96] and nonagricultural resources [97] and have limited adaptive capacities [98,99]. Because one of the merits of scientific research is to provide rationales for and stakeholder perspectives that support policy-/decision-making [100][101][102], how could policy-/decision-makers in these countries achieve these goals without the perspectives of the key stakeholders or even the knowledge of how to reach to them?…”

Study subject -farmers and stakeholders similar to farmers (farmer) excludedThese studies focused on farmers but were not associated with both climate change and adaptation. Examples included some empirical studies, literature reviews, theoretical discussions, and methodological/modelling development and/or improvements. Articles that applied non-primary (stimulated, predicted, assumed, etc.) data associated with farmers into assessments of climate change adaptation practices were also excluded in this category. Study subject -non-farmer-related excluded (non-farmer) Human system -managed natural systems excludedStudies focusing on managed natural systems that had identified ecosystem functions or that provided different types of ecosystem services were excluded in this category. Human system -climate change impact/risk/uncertainty excludedThese studies only focused on potential impacts/risks/uncertainties of climate change in the past, present, or future. This category summarizes studies that reported/reviewed/discussed climate change impacts on natural systems that affect agriculture/aquaculture/livestock husbandry/forestry production.

Human system -vulnerability, resilience and adaptive capacity excludedStudies that assessed vulnerability to climate change in a particular agricultural system were excluded. The assessments were based on various factors (environmental, socio-economic technological, etc.). This category of studies also includes assessments of resilience and adaptive capacity. Note that none of the studies within this classification assessed the vulnerability of farmers or those similar to farmers. Study subject -natural systems excludedAny study that only focused on the effects of climate change on natural systems was excluded. These systems cover the biological (flora and fauna) and the physical (climate, land, soil, water, etc.) systems [67]. The impacts, risks, uncertainty, and vulnerability of natural systems are all excluded in this category...

“…Adaptation means adjustment to the expected or actual impact of climate. Adaptation includes agronomic management for soil, water, nutrients, pest-and weed-adjusting cropping system and distribution (Bonzanigo et al 2016;Rippke et al 2016), conservation agriculture (Powlson et al 2014), plant breeding and biotechnology (Abberton et al 2016), strengthening infrastructure construction and enhancing disaster prevention.…”
