Through the ages, farmers have used indigenous knowledge and traditional coping strategies to adapt to changes in weather and climatic conditions. Now, increasingly erratic climate variability is making it difficult for farmers to keep up. Climate uncertainty often influences farmers’ decisions. It may deter them from adopting new technologies and market opportunities. While taking such risks could improve yields and boost profits in a good season, an extreme weather event or outbreak of disease can wipe out crops or livestock, leaving farmers with nothing to eat and a large debt to repay. Institutions that influence and support farmers, such as national agricultural research and extension systems and development non-governmental organizat...
