abstract
This review explores coping strategies for climate variability in rice farming, drawing on reports and data from prominent agricultural organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Bank. It highlights the challenges posed by climate change to rice production and the adaptation and mitigation strategies required to sustain rice farming. The paper discusses various strategies, including adjusting crop management practices, implementing technological innovations, and fostering community-based initiatives. The integration of policy measures and institutional support is also examined. The review concludes by suggesting areas for future research and policy development to enhance resilience in rice farming communities.
