        abstract = {This study examines the awareness and adaptation strategies of farmers in Omalur Taluk, where agriculture is a primary source of income. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through structured interviews with a representative sample of farmers. The results show that while most farmers recognize the impacts of climate change, their understanding of its causes and broader effects is limited. Adaptation strategies mainly involve traditional methods, such as altering sowing periods and crop diversification, with fewer farmers adopting advanced technologies. Key barriers to adaptation include limited resources, inadequate government support, and a lack of knowledge dissemination. The study highlights the need for targeted awareness programs, policy interventions, and capacity-building efforts to improve climate resilience in the region's agricultural sector.},
