The MODFABE project will attend the AGU Fall meeting 2021, taking place on December 13-17th, 2021 in New Orleans and hybrid worldwide. The abstract ‘Social-learning from Farmers’ Experience and Behavior: A Triple-loop Analysis on Climate Change Awareness, Perceived Impacts, and Adaptation’ will be presented as oral presentation. This contribution provides an overview of the intellectual structure of farmers’ behaviour on climate change awareness, perceived risks, and adaptation capacity. A portfolio of 108 survey studies published in the last decade was selected for a comprehensive analysis. Exploratory variables such as farmers’ socio-demographic characteristics, level of climate change awareness, major perceived impacts, and adaptation measures, parameters, and barriers have been reported. In addition to the bibliographic analysis, the first results from a survey conducted in different irrigation systems in northern Italy will be tested to identify(dis)similar trends in farmers’ behaviour. The identification of not only farmers’ behaviour gaps but also their causing reasons will contribute to focus attention on most concerning issues and provide more accurate bottom-up knowledge to managers and decision-makers.
