About the Cover

The study assessed gender analysis of climate change adaptation of food crop farmers in Saki-Agricultural zones of Oyo state, Nigeria. A total of 104 males and 72 females) food crop farmers were sampled. Frequency counts, percentages, weighted mean and ANOVA were used in analyzing data. Fewer males (31.7%) than females (61.1%) had no formal education. Average farm size was 2.8 and 2.4 hectares for male and females, respectively. Respective average ages were 52 and 51 years. Most important constraints to climate change adaptation of both men and women were high cost of farm inputs, destructive activities of the herdsmen and inadequate early warning information. Male and female farmers did not differ in the level of constraints to climate adaptation. Men employed ridges across the slope (F = 8.828) and fallow system (F=8.828) more significantly than women. There is however no significant difference between male and female level of climate change adaptation. Agricultural inputs should be made available by the government to both male and female farmers at subsidized rates, while women should have better access to land. (Ref: Olutegbe NS. Gender analysis of climate change adaptation of food crop farming households in Saki-Agricultural zone of Oyo state, Nigeria. Climate Change, 2019, 5(20), 228-234).
