    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2016) Kauki, Boniface Gerald
    This study examined farmers adaptation strategies in agriculture production in changing climate. Data for this study were collected in Nguduni and Mahango village in Rombo Districts using quabtitative and qualitative techniques. To capture adguate information 5% (80) of total households were randomly selected and 5 key informant and four focus group discusion were purposelvely selected. The data collected were analysed by descriptive statistics and content analysis. The study findings indicate that farmers perceive Temperature and Rainfall to have changed. About 42.5% of respondents interviewed perceived that, temperature has increased, but rainfall has decreased for the past 30 years. However, farmers claimed that the onset and session of rainfall has also changed. Change in rainfall and temperature has impacted agriculture in the study area. Based on farmers crop yield has declined leading to food and income shortage among the households. To adapt to climate change impacts, farmers have taken some efforts to adjust their farming practice by changing planting period, switching to high and early mature crops, planting drought resistant crop and adopt water conservation techniques. However, farmer’s efforts to adapt to climate change have been obstructed by limited financial capacity, lack of substantial agricultural information such as weather forecasting and inadequate knowledge about climate change. The study recommends local adaptation strategies to be streamlined to relevant policies in order to enhance local farmers’ adaptive.
