Socio-economic, social-capital, and psychological characteristics and climate change adaptive behavior of farmers in Iran

Abbas Mirzaei et al.

Summary: Climate change in Iran has caused frequent droughts and reduction of water resources, making Iranian farmers vulnerable. The study found that off-farm income and access to credit have a significant positive impact on the adoption of adaptive strategies. Furthermore, active participation in social groups strengthens farmers' beliefs and risk perception of climate change, providing greater incentives for employing adaptive strategies.

Developing a paradigm model for the analysis of farmers' adaptation to water scarcity

Tahereh Zobeidi et al.

Summary: Water scarcity poses a global threat to smallholder farmers and crops, with farmers' adaptation behavior and the implementation process being crucial in tackling this threat. The study provides a relatively comprehensive model consisting of six basic parts, including understanding the causes and effects of water scarcity, adaptation methods, and consequences, which can assist researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders in better understanding and describing informed decision-making processes.

Explaining farmers' response to climate change-induced water stress through cognitive theory of stress: an Iranian perspective

Sedighe Pakmehr et al.

Summary: The study investigated the underlying causes of farmers' adaptation responses to the negative impacts of climate change on water resources in Iran, revealing that demand appraisal and self-efficacy are significant predictors of problem-focused coping. The theory explained a significant portion of the variance in farmers' problem-focused coping behavior and subsequent adaptation responses.

Factors affecting smallholder farmers' technical and non-technical adaptation responses to drought in Iran

Tahereh Zobeidi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the factors affecting farmers' adaptation behaviors using the Health Belief Model as a theoretical framework. The results revealed that self-efficacy is the most important predictor of technical and non-technical adaptation behaviors. The study emphasizes the differences between the determinants of technical and non-technical adaptation behaviors and highlights the key role of self-efficacy.

Evaluating micro-irrigation system performance through assessment of farmers' satisfaction: implications for adoption, longevity, and water use efficiency

Davoud Rouzaneh et al.

Summary: The success of agricultural innovations largely depends on farmers' satisfaction, and this study aimed to investigate farmers' satisfaction with drip irrigation technology in Iran. The European satisfaction model (ESM) was used to analyze the factors influencing farmers' satisfaction, with perceived value, perceived image, and quality playing key roles. The study suggests that improving farmers' satisfaction, perceived image, and quality could lead to increased adoption of drip irrigation among Iranian farmers.

Farmers' adaptation to drought risk through farm-level decisions: the case of farmers in Dehloran county, Southwest of Iran

Farah Delfiyan et al.

Summary: Empirical evidence shows that farmers can effectively manage the negative impact of drought by changing their farming practices, with adaptation being crucial in reducing vulnerability. Understanding farmers' responses to drought events can broaden adaptation options and enhance sector resilience. Knowledge of farmers' adaptive decision-making at the farm level is essential for designing effective public drought adaptation strategies.
