What drives farmers’ behavior under climate change? Decoding risk awareness, perceived impacts, and adaptive capacity in northern Italy by Sandra Ricart, Claudio Gandolfi, Andrea Castelletti

“…Regarding decision-making processes, the structural model demonstrated that 1) recognizing climate change can sensibly predict alterations in farmers’ behavior concerning climate impacts while 2) there is a lack of correlation between perceiving risks and implementing risk adaptation measures. Interestingly, factors such as farming experience, farm size, area under irrigation, and primary crop type significantly influence how risks are perceived and what measures are adopted. …”
