Historically, humans have been able to adapt to the changing climate, but the long-term effects can inhibit growth and reduce agricultural production. Adaptation strategies can help reduce the effects of climate change and increase benefits, but there is still room for improvement. This study was conducted in Aceh Besar and Aceh Utara Districts. This study focuses on how households that raise paddy are affected by climate change. Purposive sampling was used as the sampling strategy in this study. This research uses a quantitative and qualitative approach. This study uses Livelihood Index analysis (LVI). The research results show that the vulnerability of paddy farming households in North Aceh is more vulnerable to climate change compared to Aceh Besar because the vulnerability value of paddy farming households in Aceh Besar is 0.44 and North Aceh is 0.45. The impact of climate change in Aceh Besar and North Aceh Regencies is that droughts occur more frequently.
Model of agricultural performance in Aceh Safrida, L N Ginting, Zulkarnain, Indra, Mujiburrahmad, N Oktaviana Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2023 This study aims to develop a model of agricultural performance in Aceh.

Study on liability and farm handling of high value agricultural commodities in Aceh T. Fauzi, Mujiburrahmad, A Baihaqi, Romano, Ramayana Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Agricultural sector has a potential for improving the economy of Aceh because it plays major role in the commodities livelihood. Some of the agricultural commodities such as patchouli, melon, chili, corn, and soybeans have high economic value. However, growing that plants have high uncertainty for farmers especially in term of risk in financial, production and market. This study aimed to identify the sources of risks and study the impact on farm management. The research was conducted in 75 villages in 5 districts of Aceh Province that were determined using systematic sampling. As many as 275 farmers had been selected as respondence risks of some aspects in production, marketing and financing were assessed and compared with potential benefit of farmers. The results indicated that potential benefit is always associated with the risk. The greater the on-farm risk is the bigger its potential benefits. Intensive farming system will reduce the risk, but it increases the cost. This research has been successfully ranking the risk of farming as the following plant: patchouli, chilies, corn, and soybeans.
