Increasing temperature and changing rainfall patterns cause a decrease in agriculturalproduction. Adapting to climate change is one of the major challenges of farmers in Indonesia.Since the climate will continue to change in the future, it is important to understand thedeterminants of adaptation in order to know how to support this adaptation process. This studyidentifies the link between perception and adaptation, in addition to the driving forces foradopting one or more of a set of 21 farm-level adaptation strategies. A survey was conductedamong 74 participants of a Climate Field School in Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The2-step Heckman estimation model that was used analyses the link between perception of andadaptation to climate change. The results indicate that better educated farmers and farmers withno off-farm income are more likely to adapt. The logistic regression model demonstrates that thepossession of livestock increases the likelihood of applying a wider range of adaptationstrategies. The Climate Field Schools offer a promising approach for enabling farmers to selectappropriate adaptation strategies. However, other factors need to be considered to make best useof the potential of sustainable adaptation.
