Abstract
This study investigates the impact of climate change on the financial well-being of fruit farmers in Chile and Tunisia. Using a combination of supervised machine learning and statistical modeling methods, the researchers analyzed data from face-to-face interviews with 801 cherry and peach farmers. While climate change factors (increased temperature and reduced precipitation) showed a regional effect on perceived financial well-being, particularly in Chile, these factors were less significant than social assets (reliance on and trust in information sources, community, and science) and geographical location. The most influential factors differed between the two countries.
