<b>A Study on Constraints Experienced by Farmers in Adaptability Measures to climate change </b>
Climate change and variability are concerns of human being. The recurrent droughts and floods threaten seriously the livelihood of billions of people who depend on land for most of their needs. The study determines the constraints experienced by the farmers in adaptability measures to climate change in Aravalli region.. The research findings revealed that (90%) of respondents said lack of information about climate change, lack of knowledge about appropriate adaptations (83.33%) and low price of the produce in market (80.83%) as the major constraints. The non availability of timely inputs (79.16%), irregularity in electricity supply (77.08%), lack of storage facility of produce, higher cost of the agricultural inputs and irregularity of extension services were the major institutional and technological constraints. The study suggested that improving information access on climate risk management, access of institutional credit facility, and capacity building programmes strengthens the famers’ adaptation capacity under changing climate.
