气候变化对农业生产者构成了重大挑战。生产者可以使用各种适应策略来增强其对气候变化的抵御能力。计划行为理论被用作框架,以比较不列颠哥伦比亚省(BC)的Cariboo和Okanagan地区生产者的适应意图和选择,加拿大,陕西省宝鸡和西安市(SX),中国。在BC,生产者更有可能探索使用新的作物品种,不列颠哥伦比亚省的生产者似乎也有更强烈的投资灌溉效率的意图。相比之下,SX的生产商更有可能使用在线营销方法直接与消费者联系。根据一组焦点小组的成绩单,社区会议,和采访,态度的差异,社会规范,并确定了SX和BC生产者之间的感知行为控制,这可能有助于他们的不同适应选择。这两个领域都存在适应的多重障碍。有限的技术知识和对适应有效性的怀疑在公元前更为严重,而地方政府的有限支持和规范期望在SX中值得注意。教育,有针对性的研究,灌溉和营销方面的公共投资可能有助于解决其中一些差异,提高两省农业气候适应能力。
Climate change poses a major challenge for agricultural producers. There are a variety of adaptation strategies producers can use to enhance their resilience to the changing climate. The theory of planned behavior is applied as a framework to compare the adaptation intentions and choices of producers in Cariboo and Okanagan regions of the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada, and Baoji and Xi\'an city prefectures of Shaanxi (SX) province, China. In BC, producers are more likely to explore the use of new crop varieties, and BC producers also seem to have a stronger intention to invest in irrigation efficiency. In contrast, producers in SX are far more likely to use online marketing methods to connect directly with consumers. Based on transcripts from a set of focus groups, community meetings, and interviews, differences in attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioral control between SX and BC producers are identified that may contribute to their different adaptation choices. Multiple barriers to adaptation existed in both areas. Limited technical knowledge and doubts about adaptation effectiveness were more serious in BC, while limited support from local government and normative expectations were notable in SX. Education, targeted research, and public investments in irrigation and marketing may contribute to addressing some of these differences, improving the resilience of agricultural climate adaptation in both provinces.
