I. INTRODUCTION
Clima e change is one o he mos signi ican challenges cu en ly aced by he ag icul u al sec o , wi h impac s el no only

In his con ex , clima e isk communica ion becomes c ucial. How in o ma ion ela ed o clima e change and i s impac s is

A gap exis s be ween he a ailabili y o clima e in o ma ion and he le el o unde s anding and adap i e ac ion among a me s.
While go e nmen agencies and ela ed ins i u ions ha e a emp ed o dissemina e clima e change in o ma ion h ough a ious

Mose and Dilling (2007) emphasize ha e ec i e isk communica ion depends on he con ex ualiza ion o messages, c edibili y

expe iences, cul u al alues, and psychosocial ac o s, no me ely by scien i ic da a.
In Indonesia, Sup ia na and Nug oho (2020) ound ha clima e change in o ma ion deli e y o a me s is o en ine ec i e due o

C. Food Secu i y om a Clima e Adap a ion Pe spec i e

nu i ious ood o e ime (FAO, 2008). Clima e change h ea ens ood secu i y by dis up ing p oduc ion, dis ibu ion, and access

V. CONCLUSION
This s udy highligh s ha a me s in Sou h Lampung Regency ha e a high le el o awa eness ega ding clima e change, ecognizing
angible impac s such as unp edic able seasons, p olonged d ough s, eme gence o new pes s, and declining c op yields. Two
dis inc ypologies eme ged: he adi ional- eac i e g oup, which elies on inhe i ed knowledge and esponds indi idually, and
he adap i e-in o ma ional g oup, which ac i ely seeks and applies in o ma ion om bo h o mal and in o mal sou ces.
Risk communica ion channels a e domina ed by a combina ion o in o mal (social media, pee discussions) and o mal (ex ension
