Abstract
The main livelihood of people living in rural areas with the main crop is rice peasant. Rice cultivation by the peasant is rely availability of water, both from irrigation or rain water. Peasant are planting rice irrigation sourced from both technical and semi-technical irrigation especially in the dry season flow of the river by making a ”Dawuan". However, the availability of river water also depends on the climate or rainfall and upstream environmental conditions that concerned. The purpose of this paper is to describe the impact of climate change on cropping time and or income of rice peasant in the village Leuwihideung. The selection of these villages or peasant because this village is partly technical and partly irrigated half is rained and or there are peasant who grow crops in both the land. The data obtained from the results of field research using a qualitative approach. Peasant in the village Leuwihideung on normal rainfall conditions in semi-technical fields could grow rice three times a year by relying on irrigation, while the rained land can be planted once a year rely on rain water. However, recent rainfall is erratic even on irrigated land impact on cropping time that can only be planted with rice twice a year and the impact on rained cropping time. Climate change is not only an impact on the incomes of peasant but also have an impact on peasant’ income.
