ABSTRACT Agriculture in the Nordic countries is a sector, where farmers are facing climatic challenges first-hand with little policy guidance on climate change adaptation or climate risk management. Adaptation practices emerging at the farm scale have potentially harmful outcomes that can erode the agricultural sustainability. So far, farm scale decision-making on adaptation measures is scarcely studied, and a thorough assessment of risk perceptions underlying adaptation decision-making is required in the Nordic context to inform adaptation policy planning. In this qualitative case study, the climate risk perceptions of Nordic farmers and agricultural extension officers are examined. As a result, a typology of risk responses is presented, showing three dominant patterns within highly dynamic and contextual adaptation processes at farm scale: risk aversive, opportunity-seeking and experimental. The typology represents the variation within adaptation processes that further stress the need for participatory adaptation policy development in agriculture.

北欧农场规模的气候风险认知和适应决策——风险应对的类型

摘要北欧国家的农业是一个部门,农民在那里直接面临气候挑战,几乎没有关于气候变化适应或气候风险管理的政策指导。在农场规模上出现的适应做法可能会产生有害结果,可能会侵蚀农业的可持续性。到目前为止,关于适应措施的农场规模决策很少被研究,在北欧背景下需要对适应决策背后的风险认知进行彻底评估,以告知适应政策规划。在这个定性案例研究中,考察了北欧农民和农业推广官员对气候风险的看法。因此,提出了风险应对的类型,在农场规模的高度动态和环境适应过程中显示了三种主要模式:厌恶风险、寻求机会和实验性。类型学代表了适应过程中的变化,进一步强调了农业参与性适应政策制定的必要性。
