Adaptation efforts will be ineffective unless farmers' perspectives of climate change are understood. The objectives are to examine farmers' perceptions of climate risk, identify major livelihood adaptation measures utilized by farmers, examine the variables that impact farmers' decision to adopt, and the factors that influence adaptation strategies utilized. Data were collected from 420 farmers in 12 districts of rural Gambia. The findings revealed that most of the farmers perceived an increase in drought, flood, and high temperature. Low crop yield, decline in crop production, and shortage of water are the major impacts of climate change perceived by farmers, resulting in increased vulnerability. The empirical result of the binary logistic model showed that land tenure, access to government support, access to marketing, witness to an expected weather event, and climate change perception influenced farmers' choice to implement climate risk adaptation measures. The findings indicate that female farmers are less likely to adopt climate risk adaptation measures. However, the multivariate probit model revealed that age, education, availability of extension services, membership of farm groups, and perception of climate change are the main determinants of strategies implemented at the farm level. Off-farm strategies such as petty business are mainly influenced by being female, middle age, and primary education. Government, stakeholders, and donor agencies should explore gender-disaggregated initiatives.

“…These factors can be classified into three main aspects. The fundamental factors include education, farming experience, risk perception, access to credit, household income, and arable land (Acevedo et al 2020;Chouksey et al 2021;Adego and Woldie 2022). Social factors mainly revolve around social networks, social trust, and social participation (Yaméogo et al 2018;Gao et al 2019;DeDecker et al 2022).…”

Adopting low-carbon agricultural technologies (LCATs) is fundamental to reducing carbon emissions in agriculture. Our study explores the factors influencing the adoption of LCATs and the roles of production outsourcing and specialised farming within the framework of off-farm employment. In this regard, survey data were collected from 1 040 farmers in the Yellow River region of China in 2020 to examine the effect of production outsourcing on the farmers' adoption of LCATs. Potential mechanisms associated with specialised farming and off-farm employment are considered to comprehend this relationship. We also investigate the heterogeneous effects of production outsourcing on adopting LCATs, taking different education levels and arable land areas into account. The results show a positive association between production outsourcing and farmers' LCATs adoption behaviour, even after considering self-selection bias. Specifically, outsourcing production can significantly increase the likelihood of farmers adopting low-carbon tillage, low-carbon irrigation, and low-carbon fertilisation technologies by 7.2%, 8.1%, and 7.3%, respectively. This effect is more pronounced among farmers with higher levels of education and smaller areas of arable land. Furthermore, production outsourcing increases the LCATs adoption by promoting specialised farming. The findings suggest that outsourcing is vital to alleviating the lack of LCATs adoption resulting from off-farm employment.
