This study examines the factors driving farm households' decisions to adapt to climate change and the impact of these adaptations on food productivity in Ethiopia. Using a simultaneous equations model with endogenous switching, the authors find that access to credit and information are key drivers of adaptation. Adaptation increases food productivity, and the non-adapters would benefit the most from implementing adaptation strategies. The study highlights the importance of both information and financial resources in enabling farmers to adapt to climate change, and suggests that while both groups of farm households would benefit from adaptation, the non-adapters have the most to gain. The findings also indicate that adaptation strategies can make farm households more resilient to climate change, particularly during critical rainfall seasons.This study examines the factors driving farm households' decisions to adapt to climate change and the impact of these adaptations on food productivity in Ethiopia.
