The study analyzes data from 11 of the country's 18 agro-ecological zones, representing more than 74 percent of the country, and survey of 1,000 farmers from 50 districts. Regressing of net revenue on climate, household, and soil variables show that these variables have a significant impact on the farmers' net revenue per hectare.The study carries out a marginal impact analysis of increasing temperature and changing precipitation across the four seasons. In addition, it examines the impact of uniform climate scenarios on farmers' net revenue per hectare. Additionally, it analyzes the net revenue impact of predicted climate scenarios from three models for the years 2050 and 2100. In general, the results indicate that increasing temperature and decreasing precipitation are both damaging to Ethiopian agriculture. Although the analysis did not incorporate the carbon fertilization effect, the role of technology, or the change in prices for the future, significant information for policy-making can be extracted.CC BY 3.0 IGOAFFORESTATIONAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL MARKETINGAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION SYSTEMSAGRONOMIC PRACTICESAGRONOMYALTITUDEANNUAL CROPSARABLE LANDATMOSPHEREATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDEAVERAGE YIELDSBARLEYBEANSBEETSCAPITA CONSUMPTIONCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATIONSCASH CROPSCEREAL CROPSCEREALSCHICKPEASCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MODELSCLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE FORECASTSCLIMATE MODELSCLIMATE RESEARCHCLIMATE SENSITIVITYCLIMATE SYSTEMCLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATESCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCO2COFFEECOMMODITYCONDENSATIONCONSUMER SURPLUSCOOPERATIVE EQUILIBRIACOST MINIMIZATIONCOTTONCROPCROP MIXCROP PRODUCTIONCROP VARIETIESCROP YIELDCROP YIELDSCROPLANDCROPLANDSCROPPINGCROPPING PATTERNSCULTIVABLE LANDCULTIVATIONDATESDECISION MAKINGDEFORESTATIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDRAINAGEDROUGHTDRY SEASONECOLOGICAL CONDITIONSECOLOGICAL ZONESECOLOGYECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC IMPACTSECONOMIC WELFAREECONOMICSECOSYSTEMEMISSIONSENERGY BALANCEENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL POLICYEQUILIBRIUMFAOFARMFARM INCOMEFARM MANAGEMENTFARMERFARMERSFARMINGFARMING SYSTEMSFARMSFERTILIZATIONFERTILIZERFERTILIZERSFIBERSFIELD CROPSFLOODINGFLOODSFOOD CROPSFOOD GRAINSFOOD POLICY RESEARCHFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYFORESTFORESTRYFOSSIL FUELSFRUITSFUELFUELWOODGARLICGDPGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL WARMINGGRAINGRASSESGRASSLANDGREENHOUSE EFFECTGREENHOUSE GASESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROUNDNUTSHARVESTINGHERBSHYDROLOGICAL DATAHYDROLOGYIFPRIINCOMEINSECT PESTSINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEIPCCIRRIGATIONLAND DEGRADATIONLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND TENURELAND USELAND VALUELENTILSMAIZEMAIZE PRODUCTIONMALARIAMARGINAL ANALYSISMARKET PRICESMEATMETEOROLOGYMILLETNATURAL RESOURCESOATSOILOVERGRAZINGPAPAYAPEASPEPPERPERENNIAL CROPSPERENNIALSPHOTOSYNTHESISPLANTINGPLANTING DATESPLOWINGPOLICY FORMULATIONPOLICY MAKERSPOPULATION GROWTHPOTENTIAL YIELDSPRECIPITATIONPRESENT VALUEPRODUCEPRODUCERSPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSPRODUCTIVITYPRODUCTIVITY OF LANDPULSESRAINFALLRAINFED AGRICULTURERAPESEEDRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRICERIVERSRUNOFFSEASEEDSEEDSSESAMESINGLE CROPSISALSMALL-SCALE FARMERSSOILSOIL FERTILITYSOIL QUALITYSOIL TYPESSOILSSORGHUMSOWINGSOYBEANSPECIALIZATIONSPICESSPRINGSUGARSUGAR CANESUNFLOWERTEATEMPERATURETEMPERATURE DATATENURETILLAGETILLINGTOBACCOTRACE GASESTUBERSVARIABLE COSTSVEGETABLESVEGETATIONVOLCANIC ERUPTIONSWEEDSWHEATWINDWINTER WHEATWORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATIONYAMSWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-4342
