Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate farmer’s perceptions and adoption levels of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) technology innovations in Central Praya District, Central Lombok Regency. A quantitative survey approach was employed with 36 farmers who had participated in CSA extension activities. Respondents were selected using a multistage random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicated that farmers’ perceptions were generally high (positive) across all CSA components. The highest positive perception (97.22%) was toward agricultural mechanization, while the lowest (77.78%) was toward the use of vegetable/biological pesticides. Adoption levels were categorized as medium (61.11%) and high (38.89%). Agricultural mechanization was the most applied technology (97.22%), while vegetable/biological pesticide use was the least (58.33%). However, only 38.89% of farmers applied CSA innovations regularly each planting season. Farmers generally perceive CSA positively, but adoption remains uneven. Further research is recommended on adoption drivers and the impacts on costs and income.
