Abstract
Agricultural producers are essential for feeding the world’s growing population. They generate employment, income, and savings; contribute to health and prosperity, cultural identity, farm tourism, and household food security, and represent a significant sector in DCs (WWAP 2015). The impacts of climate change are anticipated to worsen in the future and may lead to increasing extreme events of d&f. This, in turn, will increase the vulnerability of rural agricultural producers. The cost and destruction associated with d&f draws attention to the need to plan for and respond to d&f. The institutional governance system wherein this occurs (the water, emergency, climate change and adaptation system) is an important component of adaptive capacity (Termeer et al. 2013) impacting the agricultural producers and their communities.
