Adaptation Policies

In West Africa, climate change aggravates subsistence farmers’ vulnerability to weather variability to sustain their agricultural and nutritional requirements. For successful adaptation policies, in-depth understanding of farmers’ perceptions about climate change, agriculture, and adaptation strategies is essential. This qualitative study in rural Burkina Faso characterized farmers’ perceptions and knowledge through in-depth interviews. The study enumerated the barriers, possibilities, strategies/practices, and support sources of farmers. There was awareness but limited understanding of climate change amongst farmers. Those unable to adapt, faced increased health difficulties, specifically regarding nutrition and mental health. Farmers could implement some dietary and agricultural adaptation strategies (reduce meal size, frequency and variety, preemptive purchase of cereals, multi-cropping, crop rotation, modified seeds) but were unable to implement others (soil rehabilitation, water management). Barriers to implementation comprised financial and time constraints, material and labor shortages, and inaccessible information. Farmers did not understand, trust or utilize meteorological services, but appreciated and relied on agricultural extension services. They reported that social and governmental support was sporadic and inconsistent. This study uncovers the following targets for climate change adaptation policies in rural Burkina Faso: promoting meteorological services, expanding agricultural extension services, increasing access to financial resources, and framing sustainable adaptation within national development goals.

Chi Square Analysis

The study assessed the adaptation strategies to mitigate effects of climate change on food crops production in Oyo State. Multi stage sampling procedure was used in selecting 120 respondents for the study. Primary data was collected through interview schedule and it was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that majority (84.2%) of the respondents were male, married (92.5%) and the crop they mainly cultivated are maize (45.8%) and cassava(37.5%). Further results revealed that majority (70.0%) have knowledge of climate change, majority (84.17%) regularly accessed information on climate change through radio and 88.3%  of them claimed to adopt planting crops favorable for the present weather condition as an adaptation strategies to mitigate the effect of climate change more frequently.  Correlation and Chi-square analysis revealed that there existed a relationship between household size (r= -0.089; p=0.002); knowledge (r= -0.157; p= 0.002), educational level of farmers (X2= 4.861; p= 0.003) and adaptation strategies to climate change effects among the food crops farmer..It was recommended that food crop farmers should be better educated and sensitized in order for them to be better acquainted with coping mechanisms and adaptation strategies that are currently been proffered by research.
