Role of agricultural extension in climate change adaptation.

Thesis Abstract

Climate change poses significant challenges to the agricultural sector, affecting crop yields, water availability, and overall farm productivity. Agricultural extension services play a crucial role in helping farmers adapt to these changing climatic conditions. This paper explores the role of agricultural extension in climate change adaptation, highlighting the importance of providing farmers with knowledge, skills, and resources to mitigate the impacts of climate change on their farming practices. It examines various strategies and approaches used by agricultural extension services to promote climate-smart agriculture and enhance farmers' resilience to climate change. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating climate change adaptation into agricultural extension programs, emphasizing the need for collaboration among stakeholders and the use of innovative technologies to effectively address climate-related issues in agriculture.
