Constraints of Climate Change Adaptation Wheat Producers in Yalvaç District

This study analyzed the constraints limiting farmers' adaptation to climate change. A stratified random sampling method was used to select 116 producers, who were interviewed face-to-face using a structured questionnaire. The Constraint Facing Index (CFI) was employed to evaluate and rank the obstacles encountered. The results indicate that the primary obstacle is the lack of information on climate change adaptation measures, with a CFI of 313. Other constraints include insufficient knowledge of specific adaptation strategies and the absence of training or seminars on managing climate impacts. These findings highlight the importance of implementing agricultural policies aimed at overcoming these barriers by improving access to up-to-date information, offering tailored training programs, and providing increased technical and financial support. Such measures would better equip producers to face the challenges of climate change and enhance their adaptive capacity.
