Abstract
This research examined the issue related to farmers’ adaptation towards climate change phenomenon, specifically for farmers whose main commodity was shallot, in Larangan Village, Larangan Sub District, Brebes District. The purpose of this research was to understand the adaptation strategies, which were done by the shallot farmers in their planting field, toward the climate change phenomenon. The study used a combined method (qualitative and quantitative method). The result of this research showed that the adaptation strategies of shallot farmers toward climate change on direct case consisted of several aspects; cultivation aspect (changing the planting pattern, using the pump, changing the land management, and increasing the utilization of pesticide), agricultural financing aspect (storing shallot in<i> para-para</i>), and cultural diversification aspect (horizontal diversification/planting other commodities and seasonal transmigration). While on the indirect case, there were several strategies grouped by aspects of; cultivation aspect (using the superior seed), and Agricultural diversification aspect (<i>merantau</i>).
