Risk perceptions, attitudes, and climate change adaptation behaviors : a case of farmers in Nyabihu District, Rwanda
This study seeks to improve understanding of farmers' behaviors, especially in the face of climate risk. Logistic regression results showed that factors like access to forecast information, belonging to a cooperative, and experience with floods have a significant effect on farmers' adaptive behaviors. Results also showed that policies or programs that encourage farmers to participate in cooperatives and improver farmers' access to forecast information can lead to adaptive actions.
