The majority of farmers in Baturraden live in mountainous areas and work as farmers. Although agriculture is the primary driver of the community's economy and the primary source of livelihoods, it is hampered by natural conditions, including unpredictable climate change. Climate instability is a major driver of farmers' livelihood problems, threatening economic resilience and the sustainability of farmer regeneration. Previous studies have explained how farmers cope with climate change by storing their harvests for use when times of famine arrive. This study aims to explore the agricultural practices used by farmers in Baturraden to deal with uncertain climate conditions. The approach is qualitative, using a case study methodology to uncover the nature of the events. The data collection process was carried out through interviews. Informants for interviews were purposively sampled, meaning they were deliberately selected based on predetermined criteria aligned with the research objectives. The interview results were then analyzed using QDA Miner 6 software. The study findings indicate that farmers' practices include changes in cropping patterns and crop diversification. Farmers do all of this to maintain income from the agricultural sector. For farmers, livelihood is their primary focus because it is closely linked to household sustainability and farmer regeneration. This study is limited to farmers' practices in addressing climate change and has not examined the social, cultural, and economic influences that support these practices; therefore, further studies are needed to obtain in-depth results on the livelihood resilience of farmers in Baturraden.
