Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the impact of agricultural environment, organisational, educational, economic, social, technical, cultural, and legal factors on the capacity building of extension experts in the development of climate smart agriculture. The research is applied in terms of its objective and descriptive survey in terms of its method. The results showed that infrastructural factors had the highest impact on climate-smart agriculture with 22%, followed by organisational factors with 21%, social factors with almost 17%, cultural factors with 16.5%, educational factors with 13%, legal factors with nearly 13%, technical factors with 11.4%, and, finally, economic factors with just over 10%. Overall, the factors under study explain more than 68% of the variance in climate-smart agriculture (R2 = 0.687), indicating the impact of the aforementioned factors on the development of climate-smart agriculture. Also, the design of this model made the promoters, by identifying and increasing the potential and capacities of themselves, villagers, and farmers, to be able to adapt themselves to climate change and drought and, by increasing resilience and adaptability, to have positive effects for the development of sustainable agriculture. Along with increasing the product, it will increase the income and reduce the costs for them.
