Abstract
The climatic factors in Malaysia have been changing very rapidly affecting agricultural productivity and farmers' sustainable livelihood. Agriculture which depends heavily on climate is becoming increasingly vulnerable to risk and uncertainty. In order to face and manage the situation farmers are trying in various ways to adapt to these climatic vulnerabilities. This study analyses paddy farmers' perception of climatic variations and vulnerabilities and focuses on the techniques they use to adapt to the situation.
