This study analyzes the impact of extreme climate adaptation strategies on farm income among fruit farms in Jeollabuk-do, Korea. Using 2024 survey data, farm income was measured as the log-transformed growth rate of sales income between 2023 and 2024. Four composite indices were constructed from fourteen adaptation strategies.
The results show that only production- and technology-oriented adaptation strategies have a statistically significant positive effect on income growth. Facility reinforcement, cultivation schedule adjustments, and the adoption of smart agricultural technologies contribute to short-term income improvement, while other strategy categories show no significant effects. These findings indicate that production- and technology-based adaptation strategies play a key role in stabilizing farm income under increasing climate risks.
