Abstract

Climate change poses serious challenges to agricultural production, particularly for smallholder farmers who depend on climate-sensitive farming systems. Increasing climate variability, irregular rainfall patterns, and prolonged dry seasons have heightened the vulnerability of agricultural activities, especially in dryland areas. This study aims to identify climate change adaptation strategies adopted by household farmers and analyze the factors influencing their adoption in Sumenep Regency, East Java. Primary data were collected from 120 farmers using a multistage sampling technique through structured interviews covering farmers’ socio-economic characteristics and adaptation practices. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to identify the types of adaptation strategies implemented by farmers, while a Multivariate Probit model was applied to examine the determinants of farmers’ adoption decisions. The results show that farmers implement several adaptation strategies with different adoption levels. Crop rotation is the most widely adopted strategy, followed by adjusting planting times and using climate-resistant crop varieties. In contrast, water-saving irrigation is the least adopted strategy due to limited irrigation infrastructure. The econometric results indicate that farming experience, participation in farmer groups, and access to mobile banking significantly influence farmers’ decisions to adopt climate adaptation strategies. Strengthening farmer institutions, improving financial inclusion, and enhancing agricultural extension services are therefore crucial to improve farmers’ adaptive capacity and promote more resilient agricultural systems in climate-vulnerable regions.

Abstract

Food insecurity remains a persistent challenge among rural agricultural households, particularly among smallholder farmers whose livelihoods depend on unstable agricultural markets and limited institutional support. In dairy-producing regions of Indonesia, contract farming has emerged as a potential institutional mechanism to improve farmers’ market access and stabilize income. However, empirical evidence on how participation in dairy contract farming affects household resilience to food insecurity remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the factors influencing smallholder dairy farmers’ decisions to participate in contract farming and to examine differences in household food insecurity between contract farming participants and non-participants in Malang Regency, East Java. This study uses primary data collected from 100 smallholder dairy farming households through direct interviews using a multistage sampling technique in two dairy production centers: Pujon and Jabung. A Probit regression model was applied to analyze the determinants of contract farming adoption, and an independent-samples t-test was used to examine differences in household food insecurity, measured using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale. The results show that education and access to credit significantly influence farmers’ participation in contract farming. Education has a negative and significant effect, indicating that farmers with higher levels of formal education are less likely to participate in contract farming, whereas access to credit has a positive and significant effect, suggesting that financial resources facilitate farmers’ engagement in contractual production systems. Furthermore, the results reveal that dairy farmers participating in contract farming experience significantly lower levels of food insecurity compared to non-contract farmers. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening institutional market arrangements and improving farmers’ access to financial services to enhance the resilience of smallholder dairy farming households to food insecurity.
