9 payment. For example, the amount of rainfall about 75 mm during growing season is used as a threshold for
a location, which means farmers can claim the payment when the amount of rainfall during the season is less than 75 mm, regardless of crop failure or losses. Initially, the climate index insurance has been developed in
developing countries, i.e., Africa, India, and the Phillipines as summarized by Boer 2012. The major challenge in the insurance system is to determine the climate threshold i.e., index for a location as climatic
condition is location specific i.e., development of climate index. Detail policy on payment and claim of the insurance system for Indonesia is also still being investigated. Further research is still needed including how
to include the climate index into farming management in Indonesia as an adaptation option.

2.6. Management of Pest Infestations
Future warming condition is expected to influence the frequency of pest infestations. Many works have alarmed about the potential increase in pest infestations under climate change e.g., Diffenbaugh et al. 2008;
Luck et al. 2011. Changing climate pattern over the globe may also cause an invasion of pest and disease to a new region. Therefore, it is recommended to develop climate-pestdisease models to estimate pest
infestations under the ‗new‘ climate regime. Taking an advantage of climate index insurance, a development of climate index insurance for pest infestations is also recommended.
3. Summary
Climate change is already occurring and expected to continue in the future. Consequently, adaptation programs to anticipate the potential impacts of climate change should be planed and implemented. This
paper elaborates potential ‗innovations‘ in the field of climate information, information technology, and agricultural technology to support farming activities that also can be seen as plausible adaptation options.
We believe to materialize the proposed innovations coordination and collaboration among stakeholders in agricultural sector is critical in order to maintain food security. Therefore, the important questions are 1
how can we work together in synergy?, 2 how to bring together high potential leaders from business, government and civil society to jointly develop the required capabilities for leading profound innovation and
organizational transformation in the context of climate change?. International collaboration to strengthen the implementation of adaptation options is also recommended Perdinan 2010 considering different adaptive
capacity from country to country around the world. We do hope this paper can provide valuable information as an attempt to response to those questions.

Abstract.
The objective of study was to assess the role of local biodiversity resources and pro-poor
technology input on the ability of local community community resilience to face the impact of weather or climate anomalies. Local resources of floral feed have a significance sense to farmer community resilience
faced climate anomalies impact, particularly in some certain local farmer in the dry land of northern and eastern small island of Bali, Indonesia. Forage availability was influenced by on water shortage. Climate
anomaly impact to perceive rainfall shifting, even to the dry season period began. In Bali, peak of dry climate crisis in 2004 led to feed even to food scarcity. Those above problems should be anticipated by enthusiasm of
local farmer communities. Due to this obscurity, studies had been summarized on the potential of floral forage resources. This study examines in attempt to identify local forage sources utilized as feed and silage
during the transition and along the dry season. Results of the current assessment concluded that silage fermentation was acceptable for the forage preservation in effort to maintain feed availability as livestock
favor. Main study was verifying the role of fermentative and hydrolyzing microbes, particularly Lactobacillus plantarum
. The output of the representation work could become a reference in addressing for adaptation response through the application of functional microbial technology involvement in the small
local cattle management activities, in particular for silage handling to keep the feed quality and its continuity of the supply.
