| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this study was to investigate farmers‟ response and their adaptation strategies to the impacts of climate variability in Haramaya Woreda, Ethiopia. Descriptive and explanatory research design and mix of qualitative and quantitative research approaches were used. Questionnaires from 292 Households were collected. To analyze the data, simple descriptive statistics, linear panel regression model and MNR were employed. The result revealed that, an average of 716. 8 mm precipitation and 16.73 . Of temperature was recorded in the past 30- years. Productivity has strong and positive correlation with precipitation and temperature. The farmers have different adaptation strategies for the adverse effects of climatic change in the area. In the questionnaire open ended question the HHs reply are arranged in the following themes. The MLR revealed that, Age, Educational background, Household size, sex, membership of FBOs and Farm size are found significant at with less than .05 sig value. And, the Crop productivity year temperature and rainfall reveled that, precipitation (in mm) and year are found significant at with less than .05 sig value. This shown that, then the variable has a significant association with the productivity trend in the study area. And recommended that, crop diversification, modifying the farming calendar, employing physical and biological soil and water conservation practices, using different types of crop varieties, and other agronomic activities are needed in the study Wereda. Keywords: temperature, Rainfall, crop yield productivity, adaptation and climate variability | |
