Abstract

The study analyzed factors affecting adaptation strategies to climate-driven production changes by cassava farmers from two agro ecological zones in Ondo State. Empirical results from cross-sectional data analysed. The study found that the most important adaptation strategies identified were planting of different crop varieties, increased farm size to minimize crop failure, mixed farming, and mixed cropping. Results from multinomial log it regression revealed that farmers’ education, farming experience, family size, and farmers’ association membership were major factors affecting choice of climate adaptation measures. Policies and investment strategies must focus on intensifying decision support mechanisms to assist farmers in taking climate adaptation action at community level in the study area.
