• Dependency on on-farm production, which was used to measure the exposure of
the farmer household to climate impact.
• Coping capacity of farmer to climate impact.
These criteria when combined together would indicate the degree of risk of rainfed
farmer to climate impact. The concept in evaluating risk profile and risk grouping as
well as determining risk group is described in the diagram below;
Figure 30: Conceptual framework on the analysis of risk and vulnerability of rain-fed
farmers to climate change impact
According to this conceptual framework, the farmer households which may be at
risk and has high potential to be vulnerable to impact of climate change / variability are
those who are poor or have unstable or non-sustained household economic condition and
highly rely on rice production to maintain their livelihood condition, in addition, they
may also have limited coping capacity to cope with climate impact too.
