CONSTRAINTS FACED BY THE RESPONDENTS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTURE IN DHARWAD DISTRICT OF KARNATAKA

摘要

Climate change affects agricultural operations in a number of ways, including through changes in average temperatures, rainfall, and climate extremes. Concern over the potential effects of long-term climatic change on agriculture has motivated a substantial body of research over the past decade. The present study was conducted in Dharwad districts of Karnataka state during 2016-17, Descriptive research design was followed to find out the constraints faced by the respondents due to climate change on agricultural operations with a sample of 120 respondents selected randomly. The findings inferred that farmers are facing lot of constraints such as climate aberration, low price for the produce in the market, difficult to work in the field due to severetemperature etc., and situational conditions are restricting them to take up any adjustments in their farming due to climate aberration. Government should provide proper training and extension strategies to be followed to minimize the constraints due toclimate change which lead more profit to the farmers.
