Furthermore the majority of food-crop farmers are smallholders facing problems in capital, and technology, so the food-crop sector is vulnerable to shock in economic and natural problems.This study examines farmer’s awareness toward climate change.Specifically, the research aimsto identify responses of farmer toward climate change and identify policies and programs that would increase new agriculture technology to help mitigate the impact of climate change. The process of data collection was conducted in several districts in six provinces which are a major producing area of corn, soybeans, and rice.The samples consist of 165 farmers and 28Agriculture Extension Staffs (AES).This study uses quantitative method which isstatistic analysis.The results shows that there are gaps of knowledge between AESand farmers.This implies that the program to mitigate climate change, which are the knowledge of high yield seed, cultivation and land processing techniquedo not transform well to the farmers.The necessary and specific program to mitigate climate change needs to be supported by strengthening the government policy in agribusinessthrough new technology and other incentives stimuli for farmers.

ABSTRACTS
Agricultural sectors in Jambi’s economies have come under severe criticism for lacking the characteristics of 'sustainability'. What is usually meant is that a combination of subsidies and sub-system farming methods is producing an economically and environmentally non-viable agricultural sector. Using economic valuation techniques, and adjusting for prevailing subsidies, we seek to re-estimate the contribution that the agricultural sector made to the Jambi’s economy in the year 2014. The sector is markedly smaller if adjustments are made for subsidies. But these subsidies allow the sector to be a generator of both substantial environmental benefits, and also of extensive environmental damages

Payment enviromental service will be used to overcome damage of water.This mechanism begins with the study of willingness to pay form water users. The purpose of this research to obtain how much willingness to pay water users, analyzing factor that affected the willingness to pay, iidentifies adaption mechanism community to overcome water shortage. The result show thats 90% of respondent have willingness to pay between Rp 4000-8000. The factors that affect the willingness to pay are gender, education, preferences of water quality and income. Adaptations mechanis, for lack of water issue is 92% of respondent has alternative water source, even their water source has low water quality such colored and brackish. 71% buys the gallon refill water for drinking and cooking water.

ABSTRACT
In average cocoan production in the Walennae Village about 65-70% of the Wajo production, therefore that Walennae Village production may represent Wajo production. However, cocoan production levels in the Walennae Village still fluctuated annually. Production levels are likely to rise in the2013 and declined dramatically in 2014. This research aims to assess and analyze the feasibility status of sericulture business and diversification products by using financial analysis. Results of financial feasibility analysis showed that at the minimum production, NPV is Rp 3.229.402, IRR 48% and Net B/C 2.71 (currently). Whenever, the innovations adopted, such as NPV is Rp 3.503.903, IRR 33% and Net B/C 1,91. Making diversified products in the form of of silkworm pupa powder (Tepung Pury) by adoted innovation is the immediate vital to optimize profits. With selling price of Pury powder is Rp 22.580/kg, net profit that can be generated is Rp 596.899 (optimum production) and Rp 3.780.099 (minimum production). The conclusion of this study is the sericulture business and products diversification (innovation adopted) on Walennae Village is feasible to implement.
