3.1 Methodology
Three approaches, exploratory, case study, and survey design, have been
used in this research. In the exploratory design, secondary data were
collected on factors that are also considered to be independent
variables in this study. For secondary sources, related journals and
official reports were examined on sugarcane production and climate
effects, prepared by the United Nations, various NGOs, and relevant
government departments. After a detailed review of the previous studies,
exploratory design assisted in formulating the survey questions and
variables were chosen. Case study design helped to restrict the scope of
the research by choosing only one region,Sindh, and targeting
respondents in that region. The research topicis attuned toa case study
design that is used to find a solution or to investigate specific issues
in specific locations relating to specific objects. In this study,
targeting just one region helped maintain the focus of the research.
Survey method was used to obtain primary quantitative data for the
econometric analysis to determine the relationship between variables
(Jackson 2015).
