Abstract

Climate change is currently a global phenomenon that has affected all aspects of the lives of organisms and their environment. Climate change, especially the recent droughts in the country, has visibly affected production in the agricultural sector. Adaptation to climate change is one of the most basic and important strategies for managing climate change in agriculture. This research was conducted to investigate the use of different plant varieties on the acceptance of adaptation to climate change in the agricultural sector in 2019. The present study is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-inferential in terms of its method. Research data were collected through a questionnaire whose validity and reliability have been evaluated (Cronbach's alpha is 9.76), using a random sampling method from 247 people. The method used in this research was the logit model, which was selected as the appropriate model after examination. The results indicate that factors such as variables, extension classes, use of different plant varieties, agricultural input subsidies, modern irrigation methods, and agricultural credits have a significant effect on the acceptance of climate change adaptation in the agricultural sector. Since water scarcity is one of the most important factors affecting the acceptance of climate change adaptation, and according to the results obtained, the use of different plant varieties will create a kind of confidence in farmers and ultimately lead to a reduction in farmers' risk aversion and will lead farmers to use different types of water-poor plants.
