dc.description.abstractThis study assessed the climate variability adaptation strategies among the rice farmers in Niger State, Nigeria. A two-stage sampling procedure was used in the selection of 248 respondents from the list of rice farmers obtained from Rice Farmer Association of Nigeria (RIFAN), Niger State. The adjusting of planting and harvesting dates (M.S = 3.77) was the highest ranked adaption strategy to climate variability. The increase in quality of rice produced (M.S = 4.48) was the highest ranked perceived benefit of usage of climate adaptation strategies. The determinant factors of usage of climate adaptation strategies were rice farmers’ educational level (t = 1.729), household size (t = -0.197) and farm size (t = 0.372, p) at 5% level of significance. The study therefore recommends that the rice farmers should adopt main adaptation strategies such as adjusting the planting and harvesting dates, application of traditional irrigation agriculture and livelihoods diversification in order to improve their rice outputs, income and food security
