The study examined the adoption determinants of adapted climate smart
agriculture (CSA) technologies among smallholder farmers. A multi-stage
sampling procedure was used to select a total sample of 384 households.
Percentages and regression were employed in data analysis. The results
revealed that 47.4% adapted to climate change using integrated farming
system, intercropping, crop rotation and agroforestry. Sex (0.9%),
education level (9.2%) significantly influenced adoption of the adaptation
strategies. Moreover, information sources such as mobile phones (0.9%),
and neighbors/friends (0.2%) negatively affected the adaptation
strategies. Future policy should aim at creating more awareness through
different information sources and provide local extension services. |
