“…Below we report on new operationalizations of that response farming in new educational commitments in agrometeorology. Some were carried out with farmers in Indonesia since 2008 in the new form of "Science Field Shops" [16][17][18][19]. This was done in Gunungkidul (Yogyakarta) and Indramayu (West Java).…”

Abstract:Extension agrometeorology is applied in agrometeorological extension work to advice and serve farmers. In agrometeorology, response farming has been developed decades ago. Climate change complicates response farming, but does not alter it. This paper reports on new operationalization of that response farming in new educational commitments in agroclimatology. It is explained how "Science Field Shops" are an example in Indonesia. This was based on a thorough analysis of what climate change means for farmers in Asia. For Africa, we report on eying the training of agrometeorological extension trainers ("product intermediaries") in West Africa, based on a thorough analysis of what climate change means for farmers in Africa. We also compare experience with reaching farmers in OPEN ACCESSAtmosphere 2013, 4 238 South Africa and farmer communities in Zambia, as new forms of supporting response farming, all under conditions of a changing climate. The paper, for the first time, connects results from four different programs the senior author is taking part in. There is first and foremost the need for training material to make it possible for the product intermediaries to participate in training extension intermediaries. This should, particularly, bring new knowledge to farmers. With what is presently available and with new approaches, climate extension should be developed and tested with farmers in ways that improve farmer preparedness and decision making.

“…Through immersion, the anthropologists learn the culture of the community to be able to present it in their ethnographic outputs. Recently, collaborating with the people in producing ethnographic products together has been common, called “collaborative ethnography” (Lassiter, , , ; Winarto & Stigter, ). It is no longer merely collecting, interpreting, and presenting the data together with the subjects of an ethnographic fieldwork, but has developed toward working together with the subjects for an improvement of their lives (Lassiter, , , ).…”

“…Solving the people's daily problems has become part of the practical significance of anthropological work. Yet, working together with the people in understanding and responding better to increasing hazards in their life is a novelty (Winarto & Stigter, ).…”

“…The next step is laying the foundation for the collaboration as well as the way to work with the farmers. Not only did we need to create an interdisciplinary approach, but also to develop transdisciplinary collaboration with the farmers (Roncoli ; Winarto & Stigter, ). The agrometeorologist co‐creates the agrometeorological learning that farmers need.…”

“…This is the challenge. The anthropologist has to carry out a collaborative ethnography with the subjects (Lassiter , , ) for, in this case, an agrometeorological learning which falls in the scientific domain of the collaborator (Winarto & Stigter, ).…”

In third world countries like Indonesia, higher education is expected to contribute to the development of applied sciences that tackle pressing problems. Adaptation to and mitigation of climate change are such fields. Applied sciences work better in problem solving when approached in an interdisciplinary way. Winarto and Stigter have decades of experience in applied agricultural sciences but from different main fields: anthropology and physics/(micro)meteorology/(micro)climatology. They provide a welcome complementarity in their dialogue‐based interactions with farmers on how climate change has necessitated livelihood/resilience changes for them. They developed and established climatological services for farmers, consisting of seven initial climate services for agriculture, bringing farmers closer to their ecosystems that are currently threatened by climate change. They established what they call “agrometeorological learning,” which is about changes of beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and goals of farmers due to new meteorological and climatologic knowledge they acquire, which considerably help increase farmers resiliencies.
