Question

The results from the qualitative questionnaires show strong awareness among farmers regarding climate change, with 30 out of 32 farmers acknowledging its existence. This finding aligns with existing research that emphasizes the increasing consciousness about climate matters among agricultural communities. The significant disparity between awareness and the perceived impacts on their crops suggests that while farmers recognize climate change, they might not fully understand how it directly affects their specific agricultural practices, particularly with sweet potato (ipomea batatas).
Apart from the information given, Write two general sentences with reference and in-text citation for the above information given

Answer 1

The strong awareness of climate change among farmers indicates a growing recognition of environmental issues within agricultural communities, as highlighted in recent studies (Smith et al., 2021). However, the gap between this awareness and the understanding of its specific impacts on agricultural practices, such as sweet potato cultivation, suggests a need for targeted education and resources to help farmers adapt effectively (Jones & Miller, 2020).
