Farmers Perception of the Effects of Climate Change on Cassava Farming in Kuje Area Council, Abuja
Abstract
The study examined the perception of farmers on the effects of climate change on cassava farming in Kuje Area Council, Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Nigeria. A simple random technique was used to select 100 cassava farmers as respondents for the study. Data obtained were analyzed using percentage and frequency. Farmers’ perceptions of effect of climate change on cassava farming were increased temperature (45.0%), reduced crop yield (43.0%), increased frequency of drought (59.0%), increased frequency of flooding (63.0%), and increased frequency of heat on cassava (67.0%). Farmer’s knowledge level about climate change shows: changes in temperature (93.0%), irrigation system (89.0%), drought (93.0%), loss in harvest (92.0%), change in yield of Cassava (92%) and lack of access to extension workers (82.0%). Extension workers should be mobilized to educate the farmers on climate change and possible solution
