Padi merupakan komoditas pangan utama yang menghasilkan beras, makanan pokok bagi masyarakat Indonesia sehingga produksi padi harus tetap dijaga secara berkelanjutan. Namun, pertanian padi sangat rentan terhadap perubahan curah hujan yang berpengaruh pada ketersediaan air. Kondisi ini terjadi di Desa Japanan Kecamatan Mojowarno Kabupaten Jombang yang mengalami perubahan curah hujan dan berdampak pada sektor pertanian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa jauh pemahaman petani terhadap perubahan curah hujan dan iklim, sehingga dapat mengukur tingkat kesiapsiagaan petani dalam menghadapi perubahan curah hujan. Serta untuk mengidentifikasi strategi yang telah mereka terapkan dan apa saja faktor yang mempengaruhinya agar keberlanjutan produksi padi tetap terjaga. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif.
