“…Evidence from other countries suggests that a better understanding of how farmers perceive uncertainty events and the adaptation strategies they practice is needed to make policies and design programs aimed at promoting successful adaptation in the agricultural sector (Deressa et al, 2009;Hassan & Nhemachena, 2008;Kesa & Fraiture, 2016).…”

“…In Indonesia, current national programs for enhancing capacity of salt producers' communities to cope with socioeconomic and climate-related risks and to adapt in response to them have received relatively little attention. Programs for developing and disseminating weather forecasts are limited, while long-term programs for addressing climate variability and climate change have not been well developed (Kurniawan & Azizi, 2012;Kesa & Fraiture, 2016).…”

In this study, we aimed to investigate the uncertainty events affecting small-scale salt producers and find out how small-scale salt producers were responding to the combinations of climatic and socioeconomic uncertainty they had experienced. We divided the salt producers into three categories based on land ownership: (1) land owner;(2) wage laborer; and (3) tenant. We examine their perceptions of the problems and their adaptive responses at the household and aggregate levels. Based on fieldwork in salt production areas in rural Sampang, Indonesia. First, we find that, the effect of uncertainty events does affect salt producers unequally. This, depending on resources and power within community. Second, there are advantages and disadvantages of each adaptation. This is representing dilemma of salt producers that shape how adaptation practices are negotiated in order to respond the combinations of climatic and socioeconomic uncertainty. Finally, our finding underlines the challenges of developing an integrated approach to mitigate these uncertainty events.
