“…This implies that if the households participated in training, the logs of odds ratio in favor of households' adoption of rice technology increased by a factor of 3.624. A study by Tsado et al [18] showed the responses of the participants on the training and adoption of the improved rice package had most impacted their lives. The farmers have received training and experience sharing on rice variety development, agronomic practices, post-harvest handling and utilization on different food recipes.…”

Background: Rice cultivation is a new practice to Tselemti district of Tigray region, Ethiopia. Adoption of rice technologies is very slow in spite of its potential in the area. This research intended to identify factors affecting adoption of rice technologies. Methods:A multistage sampling technique was employed to select 150 sample households for this study. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were employed to see mean and percentage differences between adopter and non-adopter categories. Besides, binary logistic regression model was employed to identify the factors affecting adoption of rice technology.Results: Result of the descriptive and inferential analysis showed that adopters had better farm size, livestock holding, farm income, labor availability, education level, perception on rice yield, access to credit service, contacts with extension agents, participation in off-farm activities, participation in training and field days as compared to non-adopters. Moreover, the binary logistic regression model result showed that the level of education, perception on rice yield, access to credit service, participation in off-farm activities, participation on field day and participation in training were found to positively and significantly influence the adoption decision of rice technology at 1%, 5% and 10% significant level. However, market distance influences rice technology adoption negatively and significantly at 10% significant level. Conclusions:The variables education, rice yield, access to credit, off-farm activities, market distance, participation on field day and training determine the farmers' continued adoption decision behavior of rice technology. Therefore, the adoption of rice technology should be sustained by paying attention and moving along with those variables which influenced the adoption significantly.

“…Unavailability of quality germplasm, lack of knowledge and skill for scientific production, less credit orientation are some of the basic hindrances associated with this enterprise. Undertaking more training, demonstration and technology intervention programmes on improved pig farming for the greater benefit of the farming community have been recommended by researchers (Hemchandra et al, 2017, Tsado et al, 2014 and extension functionaries for encouraging small farmers for scientific pig production with the aim to enhance production, productivity and livelihood security. Keeping this in view Cooch Behar KVK conducted different types of training and demonstration programme on pig farming.…”

In India, majority of pig farmers are from backward section of population and follow traditional small-scale subsistence production system for their livelihood and food security. Pig farming may be a sustainable income generation way of the farmers in terai region of West Bengal due to availability of market. It was found from the survey that farmers of this region were perceived different constraints on pig farming. The major constraints were shortage of improved breed, lack of marketing network, credit linkage, knowledge and skill. Based on the above situation Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Cooch Behar conducted trainings and experimental programme on scientific pig farming from 2017 to 2019 in terai region of West Bengal. A case study was conducted to know impact of the experimental programme under different socio economic conditions. It was found from the study that annual income, house type, assets, employment generation & credit orientation of the farmers were increased after adoption of scientific pig farming technology. It was found from the study that net income of the farmers was more in case of Large White Yorkshire farming (Rs. 63000-75000) followed by Ghungroo pig farming (Rs. 40000-43000).

“…The impact of global climatic change on agriculture, and especially precipitation and temperature variability (PTV), has recently become an issue of increasing importance. Rice production in Nigeria is dominated by smallholders' farmers who use traditional methods that are characterized with problems of low productivity [4]. However, relatively little is known about how cultural values and norms as reflected in local farmer's perception as well as in decision making will interact with climate change to sustain or erode agricultural productivity.…”

This work examines famers' perception on the effect of rainfall variability on rice yield in Dadin-kowa, Yamaltu Deba Local Government Area of Gombe State. Nigeria. Data for the study were collected via questionnaire survey of 60 respondents and it also covered and relates with daily rainfall data for a period of Seventeen (17) years, 2001 to 2017 from Upper Benue River Basin Dadin-kowa Meteorological Centre. Frequency table and percentages was used to access the Indepth knowledge and the perceived effects of climate change, rainfall variability to be précised, on rice production. While the analysis using Cumulative Rainfall Model clearly demonstrates delay in onset of rainy season, early cessation of rainy season and shortening of the length of hydrological growing season. The result further reveals 30 th May as the onset mean date, the cessation mean date is 12 th October and hydrological growing season is having a mean of 137 days. Farmers make sequential decision: Adjusting planting timing in response to delays in the onset of rainy season while changing crop variety responding to delay in the end of previous year's rainy season. The findings of the study show that the decrease in yield of rice is the immediate impacts of rainfall variability. Thus a study understanding farmers' perception on the effects of rainfall variability on rice yield can prove extremely valuable.
