Abstract

Climate change affects crop production adversely. The study focused on the perception, perceived impacts and constraints on the climate change and adoption of climate resilient technologies in the eastern plain zone of Uttar Pradesh. 240 rice-wheat cropping pattern following farm households were interviewed using the structured schedule. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Garrett’s ranking technique. Results showed that farmers were aware of climate change and there were know the impact due to climate change. Lack of knowledge and training, lack of inputs availability and lack of credit availability were major constraints to adopt the climate resilient technologies.

Farmers were aware of climate change.

Farmers were perceived that climate change affecting the crop production.

Lack of knowledge of climate resilient technologies, lack of inputs, lack of economical and general constraints were major barrier to the adoption of climate resilient technologies.
