Abstract
This study analysed the determinants of smallholder farm-level climate adaptation strategies in Ghana using descriptive statistics and multinomial logit model fitted to a cross-sectional survey of 500 farm households. This study identifies mono-cropping under rain-fed as the dominant farming systems practised and the most vulnerable. Results from the discrete choice model indicate that precipitation, temperature, ownership of heavy-machine, extension service, road infrastructure, distance and membership of farmer-based organisation are major determinants of the adoption of irrigation farming system. The study encourages the promotion of the activities of farmer-based organisations, the empowerment of women and the provision of agricultural extension services.
