Abstract
This study aimed to reflect the situation of climate change and adaptation measures to climate change of farmer households in agricultural production in Moc Chau district.Primary data were collected through questionaires interviewing with 120 farmer households directly involved in agricultural production activities and in-depth interviews with 10 local staffs. The research results showed that to adapt many changes in local climate such as temperature and humidity raising, rainfall, sunshine hours reduction... as well as extreme weather phenomena such as chilling cold, biting cold, storms, floods, hails, hoarfrost..., Moc Chau farmer households have also taken several adaptationmeasures. These measures included shifting structure of crops and livestock, applying new varieties, adjusting farming techniques, repairing barns, moving cages, dredging mud, applying advanced technology to production, diversifying livelihoods... However, there were low application rate and non-homogeneous among households. The study also proposed some recommendations to improve adaptation to climate change in agricultural production of farmer households in Moc Chau in the near future.
