Abstract
The study aimed to identify the level of farmers' knowledge in Assiut Governorate about the effects of climate change at the farm level, field level, and community level - identify the sources of information of farmers in Assiut Governorate about climate change - and determine the correlations between the independent variables studied and the dependent variable. To achieve this, the research relied on the descriptive analytical approach. The sampling method was used to collect data, as data was collected through a questionnaire form from a sample size of 370 individuals. Tables were used to display the results of the study variables and describe them by calculating frequencies, percentages, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and weighted average. The data were also analyzed using a set of statistical programs. The most important results of the agricultural sector are the exposure of farmers to the risks of climate change and its impact on coping methods for the rapid spoilage of food, the deaths of animals and birds, the increase in field irrigation rates, the increase in the number of pests and field insects, the deterioration of agricultural land fertility and the decrease in productivity. This dangerous indicator requires work to reduce it by increasing the activation of the role of farming directorates, agricultural associations, agricultural guides, and others to limit the spread and confront the risks of climate change in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment.
