Analysis of Climate‑Smart Agriculture (CSA) Adoption Level on Tidal Land and Its Effect on Household Food Security

Climate change is a universal challenge for all those natural resource-based sectors, including agriculture. The farming community should adapt to climate change effects through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) approaches to resolve the same. The objectives of the study are to analyze the level of technology adoption of CSA practices that have been implemented by rice farmers on tidal land, to analyze the level of household food security of rice farmers on tidal land, and to analyze the effect of the level of technology adoption of CSA practices towards household food security in Telang Jaya Village, Muara Telang District, Banyuasin Regency. Sixty farmers are used for the respondents number. A study method with a survey approach of visiting the research site directly is employed here. The outcomes of this study indicate an increased awareness of climate change among farmers; one way is by adopting CSA, which can optimize farm productivity and increase farmer income, thus positively impacting food security. The adoption rate of CSA technology, i.e., tractors, water pumps, drainage, direct seeding planting, and combined harvesters, positively influences food security.
