This investigation was aimed at assessing perceptions of agricultural scientists, extension personnel and farmers regarding climate change in the context of agriculture. The study was conducted in the area under jurisdiction of MPKV, Rahuri and DBSKKV, Dapoli agricultural universities. Stratified random sampling procedure was followed in the selection of respondent agricultural scientists and extension personnel, while farmers were selected through simple random sampling. Total sample size was 180 comprising 60 agricultural scientists, 60 extension personnel and 60 farmers. The study observed that overall perceptions of the respondents were consistent with the climate change science but some of them had misperceptions about certain issues like the scientific distinction between the terms ‘global warming’ and ‘climate change’. For instance, about 55 per cent respondent agricultural scientists viewed use of nuclear power/energy as one of the reasons for global warming. Short term training programme on climate change and agriculture would help to bridge the gap between established science of climate change and such perceptions of the respondents. Key |
