Abstract
This research work investigates the adaptation strategies to climate change by rural communities along river Benue in Adamawa State Nigeria. A multistage sampling was also employed, in the first stage three communities were randomly selected from each of the selected LGAs and the second stage involves the allocation of four hundred and sixty-three interview schedules to respondents. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as percentages, cross tabulations and Chi square. The result of the study showed that farmers in the study area are aware of climate change uncertainties. The study also reveals that farmers practiced various adaptation strategies. The study recommends that improved crop varieties that are able to withstand severe droughts, tolerate higher temperatures and mature early should be developed
