Some experts believe that organic agriculture is more adaptable compared to conventional agriculture. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to assess organic and conventional farmers' perception and adaptation to climate change and analyse the factors that influence such decisions. The survey was conducted in Java, involving 112 organic farmers and 112 conventional farmers. The chi-square test was used to differentiate climate change perceptions and adaptation strategies applied by farmers. The factors that influenced the selection of the adaptation strategies were analysed using logistic regression. The results of analysis found that organic farmers have more precise perceptions of climate change than that of conventional farmers. Organic farmers more commonly implement mixed cropping, crop rotation, increasing organic manure, using shade, and changing irrigation techniques as their adaptation strategies, while conventional farmers more commonly prefer to adjust planting and harvesting dates and use traditional climate prediction called Pranata Mangsa. The selection of farmers' adaptation strategies is influenced by age, education, experience, distance to extension services, access to credit, information about climate and farmer groups, as well as farmers' perceptions of climate change. The results of the study recommend that policy makers increase farmers' adaptive capacity through investment in education and institutions to support climate change adaptation.
一些专家认为，与传统农业相比，有机农业更具适应性。因此，本研究旨在评估有机和常规农民对气候变化的感知和适应能力，并分析影响这些决策的因素。该调查在爪哇进行，涉及 112 名有机农民和 112 名常规农民。使用卡方检验来区分农民对气候变化的看法和应用的适应策略。使用逻辑回归分析影响适应策略选择的因素。分析结果发现，有机农民对气候变化的感知比常规农民更准确。有机农民更常见的适应策略包括混合种植、轮作、增加有机肥、使用遮荫和改变灌溉技术，而常规农民更常见的做法是调整种植和收获日期，并使用传统的气候预测方法 Pranata Mangsa。农民适应策略的选择受到年龄、教育、经验、与推广服务的距离、获得信贷的机会、气候和农民群体的信息以及农民对气候变化的看法的影响。研究结果建议政策制定者通过投资于教育和机构来增加农民的适应能力，以支持气候变化适应。
