A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 to assess the perception of households on drought forecasts and its impact on crop and livestock losses. A total of 300 households from seven districts in East Nusa Tenggara Indonesia were considered. The study indicated that the majority of the households are poor families with low education background. They sold poultry for income generation during drought events. The survey revealed that only small percentage of the households usied forecast to support their livelihood management. The statistical test confirmed that the use of forecast did not necessarily impacted the crop loss. However, the crops were significantly affected by the response to drought forecast. Households that changed their agricultural practice experienced significantly different losses than households that did not do anything differently to their crops. The households argued that the accuracy of the forecasts issued by the government was very low. Therefore, it is recommended that policymakers and government authorities provide more accurate forecasts and a better strategy to increase household awareness of using drought forecasts.

“…Accordingly, the household's head basic characteristics such as gender, educational level, and farming experience were reported to affect adaptation in agricultural production (Mishra and Pede 2017;Thoai et al 2018;Thanh 2016). Additionally, the factors related to household resources such as the number of labors, income level, nonfarm income, access to credit were also found to be associated with farmers' adaptation decisions (Deressa et al 2009;Uy et al 2015). Besides, the important role of factors related to the perception of climate change was also confirmed through its contributions to adaptation of farmers (Dang et al 2014;Luu et al 2019).…”

This study examined measures and factors influencing the climate change adaptation decisions of smallholder farmers holding less than 0.5 hectares of farmland. The binary logit model was applied to analyze data collected by face-to-face interviews with 110 households in Phu Vang Coastal District, Thua Thien Hue Province, Central Vietnam. The findings indicate that most farmers accurately perceived climate-related changes during the recent decade, and implemented various adaptation measures in an effort to alleviate the potential risks. Adaptations included changing crop varieties, adjusting farming calendar, diversifying crops, diversifying livestock, improving irrigation, and intensifying soil quality. In addition, the farming household adaptation decisions were positively affected by gender, education level, number of laborers, income level, involvement in local community organizations, and perception of climate change severity and adaptation measure efficacy. Farmer adaptations, in contrast, were negatively influenced by non-farm income and entirely unaffected by access to credit. Policy-related recommendations were proposed to encourage smallholder farmers to adapt to climate change in the region. Recommendations included (1) improvements in the understanding of climate change, especially for female and less educated farmers; (2) more attention paid to the activities of local community organizations to be more attractive for members; (3) participation in the non-agricultural sector in parallel with implementing climate change adaptation measures in agriculture; (4) preferential loans designed as targets for low-income households combined with strict management to avoid misuse by beneficiaries.

“…In addition, using different varieties in crop management can increase the maturation growth period (Wang et al, 2018). For Thailand, the Hmong people use past climate change experience to manage harvesting; for example, when a storm occurs during the monsoon, farmers will assist one another in harvesting the produce first (Limnirankul et al, 2015a;Uy et al, 2015). In a case study in the highlands of Thailand shallots were normally cultivated in January and harvested during April-May, when there was a greater risk of damage from hailstorms.…”

Importance of the work: Over time, the world's atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) has increased as a result of human activities. Climate change is expected to affect agriculture in regions with poor and limited resources. For highland people's livelihoods, land resource limitations are constraining the indigenous agricultural systems. Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is a new way of describing practices to achieve triple wins: improve productivity and incomes, support climate change adaptation and reduce or remove agricultural emissions of GHGs. Objectives: CSA was reviewed as knowledge integration between traditional farming and modern technology in economic, social and agricultural ecology contexts. Materials & Methods: CSA case studies produced 88 results including multiple strategies for achieving CSA goals. Data were collected from surveys and focus group discussion regarding the highland smallholder agriculture system in Mae Chaem district, Chiang Mai province, Northern Thailand. Results: The information collated on 10 CSA strategies should assist smallholder farming systems in particular to achieve CSA goals. The advantages and disadvantages of CSA were identified along with keywords used in this overlap search related to CSA. The remaining challenges were considered along with the issues and challenges of Climate-Smart Agriculture. Main finding: CSA strategies can lead to ecosystem conservation and sustainability regarding highland agriculture, ethnic groups and the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.
