| dc.description.abstract | The present study was carried out in the six districts viz. Ballari, Raichur, Koppal, Yadgiri, Kalaburagi and Bidar of Hyderabad- Karnataka Region of Karnataka state during 2018-19 to critically analyse the vulnerability and adaptation strategies for climate change. The total sample constituted 180 farmers comprising of 90 paddy growers and 90 redgram growers. The results revealed that among the six districts Yadagir (0.64) belonged to very high degree of vulnerability to climate change whereas, Kalburagi (0.45), Koppal (0.19) and Raichur (0.25) belonged to low vulnerability category. Overall vulnerability index for farmer level results were visualized that most (36.67 %) of the paddy growers were belonged to severely vulnerability category. Whereas in case of redgram grower’s most of them (35.56 %) belonged to moderately vulnerable section. Overall adaptation strategies adopted among the paddy growers resulted that less than half (48.89 %) of the respondents belonged to medium level category followed by less than one third (27.78 %) of them belonged to high level category and finally almost one fourth (23.33 %) of them belonged to low level category. whereas, overall adaptation strategies among Redgram growers. 37.78 per cent of the respondents belonged to high level category followed by 32.22 per cent of them belonged to medium level category. Both paddy and redgram growers were having significant negative relationship between adaptation strategies and their vulnerability. It implies that as increase in the adoption level of the farmers it will reduce their vulnerability to climatic variation. | en_US |
