limate change impacts are observed in all livelihood sectors primarily in agriculture and forestry. Multiple

factors have influenced the climate vulnerabilities and adaptations in agricultural at the household level.

This study focused on the factors affecting adaptation in agriculture in Madi and Deukhuri valleys of Central

and Western Nepal. The systematic random sampling technique was applied to select 154 households in Madi

and 150 households in Deukhuri. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the socio-economic factors

that either influence or restrain the farmer’s adaptation to climate change at the household level by applying

linear probability model. Based on analysis, it is revealed that crop diversity, education, training and total land

holding (acre) were positively significant for adaptation choices the study sites. Rest of the variables were not

significant though indicated positive as expected except age, occupation, ethnicity, family size and access to

credit.
