Social differentiation and climate change adaptation – synthesis report

Due to the climate sensitive nature of cropping and livestock keeping, climate change adaptation hasemerged as a central issue in agricultural/rural development. Even development interventions that arenot focused on climate change adaptation are increasingly called on to be sensitive to the implicationsof climate change impacts. However, many approaches to agricultural adaptation to climate changeremain highly technocentric, for example relying on measures of drought resistance and productivity toindicate adaptiveness without consideration of how a new practice/technology will move through andbe shaped by social spaces of household labor, market access, land use decision making, cultural values,etc. (Crane et al. 2011)
