Abstract

The overall purpose of the study was to determine the competence needs of extension agents for agricultural adaptation to climate change.

Specifically, the study  sought  to  ascertain  the knowledge level of extension personnel on climate change; ascertain perceived  roles of extension  in agricultural adaptation; identify perceived competence needs of extension  agents  for  agricultural adaptation.

Determine factors militating against competence building of extension  agents for agricultural adaptation and identify the possible strategies to building competence of extension agents.

The study tested the hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between personal/institutional characteristics and knowledge level of extension  personnel  on  climate change and there is no significant relationship between personal factors and attitude of extension personnel to climate change.

Data were collected using questionnaire administered to 93 extension personnel in the state Agricultural Development Programme. Data were presented with percentage and bar chart and analysed using mean score, standard deviation, factor analysis.

Introduction

Agriculture is a strong and efficient activity which plays pivotal roles in provision of food, fibre, fuel and income for human existence. It gainfully employs over 70% of the  world’s population and main source of income for rural households in developing  countries  (Chayal,  Dhaka and Suwalka. 2010).

Agriculture is an important sector of the Nigeria’s economy because eighty percent of the rural dwellers depend on it as their major occupation, engaging in such activities as farming, hunting, fishing and livestock farming (Ekong, 2003).

However in Nigeria, most of the agricultural production is rain fed. It  depends highly on weather and  climate  in order  to produce food and fiber necessary to sustain human life.

Consequently, it is expected to be vulnerable to climate variability and change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2007).

Climate change is defined as a change in the average climatic condition of a place. (Anyadike, 2009). It refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its variability, persisting for an extended period (typically decades or longer) (IPCC, 2007).
