Overview

Analysis reveals climate change affects Irish potato production in small-scale farmers, suggesting improved practices may enhance food security.

Key Points

  • Climate change significantly impacts Irish potato production, with rainfall positively correlating while temperature negatively correlates.
  • The Pearson correlation coefficient showed high positive correlation for rainfall (r = 0.826) and high negative correlation for maximum temperature (r = -0.741).
  • Data was collected from 393 small-scale farmers using surveys and GIS, analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0.
  • Findings indicate a need for agricultural training and modern technologies to enhance food security amid climate variability.
