The key route to economic transformation
and development is provided by agricultural
modernization. the devastating effects of climate change,
which is already seen in developing countries through
prolonged droughts, floods, unsteady rainfall patterns
and weather variations pose a great change to food
production and rendering many households vulnerable to
food insecurity and nutritional deficient.
Climate smart agricultural technologies are aimed at
reducing the impacts on this global menace on farmer’s
thereby boosting productivity to enhance income and
increase accessibility and availability of quality food for
all. CSATs also enhance resilience through adaptation
strategies to minimize the impacts of climate change.
However, the adoption of CSATs are hampered by
limited access to information available, education level,
social life, experience and cultural differences. To increase
and surmount this menace, more awareness and
enlightenment campaigns, local engagement of
community leaders, more women participation and
financial incentives should also be promoted and
provided to encourage adoption of CSATs
