| dc.description.abstract | Climate change impacts on production are expected to translate into economic impacts at various scales. At farm level, climate change will cause reduced income for households which will limit the capacity to acquire assets. However, the existing empirical literature shows different factors contribute for the adoption of climate smart agriculture practice. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors of assessment of determinants of climate smart agriculture practice adoption in Gozamin district, North West Ethiopia. This study used a cross sectional survey research design. Structured interview questionnaire with 323 sample respondents were held to collect primary data from the sample respondents, who were selected using probability sampling technique supplemented by key informant interview. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression model were used to identify demographic, socio-economic and extension service determinants that determine the assessment of climate smart agricultural practices adoption in the study area. The result show that 43.34% of the household heads adopted climate smart agriculture. The resulting distribution show that, climate smart agriculture practices: crop rotation (25.53%), inter-cropping (20.57%), soil and water conservation (16.31%), organic fertilizer (15.6%), agroforestry (8.51%), mulching (4.96%), improved grazing (4.26%), improved seed (2.13%) were adopted by the respondents in the study area. The study found that, variables such as sex, educational status, access to extension service, credit and training are significantly and positively affects the assessment of climate smart agriculture practice adoption in the study area. Whereas, land size significantly and negatively affects the adoption of climate smart agriculture practice in the study area. Thus, in the process of adoption of climate smart agriculture, these variables should be considered by the agriculture sector decision makers, donor agencies at different level and individual farm household heads | en_US |
