abstract
Climatic variability and unpredictability are poised to worsen food security issues by placing pressure on agriculture. The response of cropping systems to fluctuating climatic conditions determines their success. Conventional farming methods have often fallen short in addressing this challenge. A study was conducted to evaluate the climate resilience of 120 farmers selected randomly. Data was gathered through personal interviews. Findings indicate that chickpea growers exhibited the highest climate resilience index at 54.00%, followed by groundnut growers at 52.06%. Overall, groundnut growers demonstrated a medium to high level of climate resilience, while chickpea farmers showed a medium to low level.
