3.3.3. Occupation and Employment Status of Household Head

Table 9 indicates full-time farmers had more significant (*p* < 0.05) chances of adopting Crop Adaptations Only; Crop + Land, Soil, and Water Conservation Adaptations; and Crop + Livestock + Land, Soil, and Water Conservation Adaptations than they would off-farm adaptations. Conversely, part-time farmers were less likely to adopt the same adaptation strategies than off-farm adaptations. Full-time farmers were also more likely to adopt Livestock-related Adaptations Only; Land, Soil, and Water + Livestock-related adaptations and Crop + Livestock-related Adaptations than off-farm adaptations though not significantly (*p* > 0.05). Adoption of Land, Soil, and Water Conservation Adaptations Only by full-time farmers was less likely compared to off-farm adaptations but this was not significant (*p* > 0.05). Vice versa is true for part-time farmers.

Households with formally employed members had significantly higher chances of adopting Land, Soil, and Water Conservation Adaptations Only; Crop + Livestock-related Adaptations; and Crop + Livestock + Land, Soil, and Water Conservation Adaptations than they did off-farm adaptations. Those with no formally employed members were less likely to adopt these measures. Though not significant (*p* > 0.05), households with formally employed members were more likely to adopt the four remaining on-farm adaptation strategies, i.e., Livestock-related Adaptations Only; Land, Soil, and Water + Livestock-related adaptations; and Crop Adaptations Only; Crop + Land, Soil, and Water Conservation Adaptations compared to off-farm adaptation while households with no formally employed members had lesser chances. Thus, formally employed members enhanced adoption of all on-farm adaptations, and hindered off-farm adaptations, by their households.
