Abstract
Pekalongan is included in the RANMAPI (National Action Plan for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation) and is the mandate of the RPJMN (Medium Term National Development Plan). Among the plans realized in Climate Field Schools (SLI) as one of the facilitaties of Pekalongan District Government to farmers in climate change adaptation and mitigation oriented to sustainable agriculture. At a minimum it can achieve food self-sufficiency. From the analysis, the problem in this research is how the strategy of adaptation and mitigation of farmers in climate change in the era of innovation 4.0. The strategy by farmers to minimize crop failures, namely: farmers adjust the calendar and cropping patterns, selecting types of intercrops with dynamic weather. Mitigation capabilities are in the form of active activities of farmers' movements in the selection of rice varieties that are in accordance with local conditions, the application of macak-irrigation techniques. SLI effectiveness was checked with secondary data which showed that Pekalongan Selatan Subdistrict was 425.33 hectares (63.61%) of the total paddy field area (641.49 hectares) in Pekalongan Regency, with a production value of approximately 4443.05 tons of grain. The calculation of milled dry grain (GKG) production amounted to 2726.33 (63.606%) of the total GKG district.
