ASSESSMENT
OF FARMERS’AWARENESS AND ADAPTATION MEASURES TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE NORTHERN
ZONE OF SOKOTO STATE AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT A RESEARCH PROJECT ON
AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE
ABSTRACT
The study assessed the awareness and adoption
of climate change and adaptation measures among arable crop farmers in the
northern zone of Sokoto State Agricultural Development Project. Five out of the
twelve Local Government areas in the zone were purposively selected using
multistage random sampling techniques. Two hundred and forty respondents were
randomly selected for the study from the list of registered farmers in Sokoto
State Agricultural Development Project (SADP). The random or the purposive
selection which was based on their poor climatic conditions, drought and
subsequent long period of dry spells in the rainy season. Primary data were
collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Analysis of the data was
through the use of descriptive statistics, regression analysis and Chi-square
analysis. The results showed that all of the respondents were male and married
with a mean age of 31 years. The results also showed that 65% had no formal
education. Furthermore, the household size has a mean of 6 persons, farm size
has a mean of 2.5ha, farming experience has a mean of 12 years and annual
income has a mean of N14, 742.92k. The adopted adaptation measures were: early
planting (100), planting more than one crop (100%), using cover crop (92.9%),
using soil conservation techniques (41.7%) and using early maturing crops
(35.4%). The socio-economic factors that were significantly related to adoption
were: annual income, farm size and farming experiences. Constraints to adoption
of adaptation measures include: Inadequate operating capital, Illiteracy,
Inadequate market and Poor access to extension services. The need for farmers
to form cooperatives societies, provision of adequate extension support
services, encouraging formal education through literacy programmes, provision
of rural infrastructures, organizing seminars/ workshops on climate change
adaptation measures, control of removal of trees and creating more rangelands
were offered as recommendations.
