Climate change is exerting a profound and multifaceted impact on agriculture in Nigeria,[1][2] with discernible shifts in weather patterns, an increase in both the frequency and intensity of droughts and floods, and unsettling temperature variations.
Background
These climatic alterations are substantially jeopardizing crop yields, food security, and the livelihoods of millions of farmers across the country. Erratic rainfall patterns disrupt planting and harvesting schedules, leading to crop failures and reduced agricultural productivity. Prolonged droughts, combined with extreme heat, have parched arable lands, rendering them infertile. Conversely, intensified rainfall and flash floods not only destroy crops but also erode fertile topsoil. Consequently, the cumulative effect of these climate-induced challenges threatens the nation's ability to sustainably feed its burgeoning population and ameliorate economies stability de countless rural households heavily reliant on agriculture pour leur subsistence. Urgent adaptation and mitigation measures are imperative to safeguard Nigeria's agricultural sector and ensure food security in the face of an ever-changing climate.[3]
