Dairy Farmers’ Perceptions and Adaptation Strategies Towards the Effects of Climate Change in Southern Marmara Region of Türkiye

Abstract

The study aims to determine dairy farmers' perceptions of Climate-related risks, their adaptation strategies, and the factors affecting their decisions about adaptation strategies in the Southern Marmara Region of Türkiye. Data was collected from 379 dairy farmers by proportional sampling method. The survey was performed between October and December 2023. Descriptive statistics and probit models were used in the evaluation of the data. The majority of dairy farmers had a high perception of heavy storms. Changing the feed ratio seasonally was the most widespread adaptation strategy employed by dairy farmers. It was followed by diversification of animal production activities (sheep and goat), livestock insurance, and diversity of feed crops. Among these adaptation strategies, changing the feed ratio seasonally was the most preferred adaptation strategy in the study area. In contrast, the diversity of feed crops was the least chosen adaptation strategy. The probit model results showed that dairy farmers' age and household size had a negative and statistically significant impact on their decisions about all adaptation strategies. These results of the study stated that most dairy farmers perceived the rise in temperatures and decline in rainfall as noticeable changes in climate. Few dairy farmers used advanced agricultural applications to deal with the negative impacts of climatic change and many dairy farmers continued use to simple adaptation measures. As a result, the present study findings can shed light on policy/decision makers in agricultural research, practices regarding the climate change impact on dairy farming, and new studies in the literature.
