This report is a presentation of findings from the study undertaken to establish the threat posed by climate change on agricultural productivity and land management. The study further attempts to investigate the link between climate change and land degradation arising from poor agriculture practices and to identify small-scale farmers¿ adaptation and mitigation efforts.
