Sektor pertanian sangat rentan terhadap perubahan iklim, persepsi petani dan kemampuan adaptasinya dinilai perlu. Keterlibatan aktif dan komitmen petani dalam inisiatif adaptasi dan mitigasi akan terbukti cukup efektif dalam mengatasi tantangan perubahan iklim. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah 1) mengetahui gambaran persepsi petani, mitigasi dan adaptasi perubahan iklim; 2) merekomendasi strategi mitigasi dan adaptasi yang tepat; 3) menganalisis hubungan antara persepsi dengan strategi adaptasi dan mitigasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada petani di Aceh Selatan. Jumlah populasi 722 orang dengan sampel penelitian 88 orang dengan menggunakan rumus Slovin. Teknik pengumpulan data dengan survei. Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan metode gabungan kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Analisis data dengan analisis univariat, bivariat, chi square dan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan persentase persepsi 82 % tergolong sangat baik, petani telah merasakan dampak perubahan iklim terhadap tanaman padi dan kerugian yang mereka alami. Strategi mitigasi petani 59,1% tergolong baik, petani bergantung pada pemakaian pestisida, mengetahui informasi terbaru dibidang pertanian dan pengelolaan air pada lahan tani. Strategi adaptasi petani 47,7% baik, dengan melakukan pengolahan tanah efektif dan penyesuaian kegiatan tani. Strategi mitigasi yang tepat dilakukan petani, pengolahan tanah nol, penggunaan pestisida alami, dan penanaman tanaman penutup tanah. Strategi adaptasi yang tepat dilakukan petani tumpangsari dan mencari pekerjaan selain bertani. Terdapat hubungan antara persepsi dengan strategi mitigasi dan persepsi dengan strategi adaptasi petani terhadap perubahan iklim.

The agricultural sector is very vulnerable to climate change, farmers' perceptions and adaptability are considered necessary. The active involvement and commitment of farmers in adaptation and mitigation initiatives will prove to be quite effective in overcoming the challenges of climate change. The objectives of this research are 1) to understand the description of farmers' perceptions, mitigation and adaptation to climate change; 2) recommend appropriate mitigation and adaptation strategies; 3) analyze the relationship between perceptions and adaptation and mitigation strategies. This research was conducted on farmers in South Aceh. The total population was 722 people with a research sample of 88 people using the Slovin formula. Data collection techniques using surveys. The research methodology used is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Data analysis using univariate, bivariate, chi square analysis and descriptive analysis. The results of this research show that the perception percentage of 82% is classified as very good, farmers have felt the impact of climate change on rice crops and the losses they experience. 59.1% of farmers' mitigation strategies are classified as good, farmers depend on the use of pesticides, knowing the latest information in the field of agriculture and water management on agricultural land. 47.7% of farmers' adaptation strategies are good, by carrying out effective land management and adjusting farming activities. Appropriate mitigation strategies are carried out by farmers, zero tillage, use of natural pesticides, and planting cover crops. The right adaptation strategy is for intercropping farmers and looking for work other than farming. There is a relationship between perceptions and mitigation strategies and perceptions and farmers' adaptation strategies to climate change.
