Abstract
This study investigates the impact of climate change adaptation strategies on food crop production efficiency among farmers in Alieru community, Kebbi State, Nigeria. Through a survey of 100 farmers, findings revealed that 84% were aware of climate change impacts, such as irregular rainfall and increased droughts. Key adaptation strategies included drought-resistant crop varieties (75% adoption), improved irrigation (62%), and soil conservation practices (81%), leading to an average crop yield increase of 25%. Socio-economic factors, including education, financial access, and land tenure, influenced strategy adoption, with 68% of respondents citing limited funds as a constraint. This research provides insights to inform climate adaptation policies, aiming to sustain agricultural productivity in vulnerable rural areas. The study recommended the need for financial and educational support to enhance adaptation, recommending local climate information systems and policy reforms.
