    Factors influencing resilience building for climate change among rice farmers in Niger State, Nigeria
    (2023-12) Obasanjo Ajibade; Yusuf Olayinka Jelili; Olooto Felicia Motunrayo; Adefalu Lateef L
    This study identified factors influencing resilience-building mechanisms to climate change amongst rice farmers in Niger State, Nigeria. Two-stage sampling procedure was used to select 347 rice farmers. A survey research design was used with the aid of an interview schedule to collect primary data. Data collected were analysed using frequency, percentage, mean, and regression tools. Results showed that the use of efficient irrigation infrastructures (x̄=3.71), planting early maturity varieties (x̄=3.63) and planting date/season adjustments (x̄=3.64) were the leading resilience-building mechanisms used by farmers. Regression analysis showed that sex (β=4.264), marital status (β=13.658), years of schooling (β=17.037), annual income (β=2.85E-05), access to loan (β=103.347) and access to extension services (β=44.783) were factors that positively influenced climate resilience mechanisms of rice farmers while household size (β= -1.234), household members involved in rice farming (β= -1.045), and years of experience (β= -0.887) indicated negative influence on climate resilience mechanisms of rice farmers at p ≤ 0.05 level of significance. The study established that several factors affected the climate resilience-building mechanisms of rice farmers in Niger State. Therefore, extension programmes aimed to build farmers’ climate resilience mechanisms should prioritize significant socioeconomic characteristics.
