Abstract

Adverse effects of climate change such as drought continue to be a major threat to rural livelihoods. This study investigates farmers’ perceptions of climate change and adaptation process through food consumption and food habit change using a two community peoples’ perception in Kurigram district Bangladesh. Study revealed that the daily livelihoods has affected due to climate change. Farmers’ perceptions on adaptation to droughts were associated with food habit change. However, food habit change is not the complete solution. This may be an adaptation to the changes that may real, controllable and within their reach. Therefore, people have to adapt to climate change such as drought and do that by producing and promoting fresh, sustainable, reachable, cost effective crops that can withstand environmental changes through food habit change. The extent to which farmers’ perceived agricultural diversity as a climate changes adaptation strategy may suitable.
