climate smart, food security, Arable crop and Adoption

The study was conducted to examined the effect of climate smart agriculture on food security status of arable crops farmers in Niger state, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 150 respondents for the study. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, percentage, frequency distribution and inferential statistics such as ordered probit regression F-G-T Model and binary probit regression. The study revealed that majority of the arable crop farmers in the study area had average age of 48 years and married with an average household size of 6 persons. Furthermore, most of the respondents had formal education, with an average of 8 years of formal education, less than average had access to extension services and while membership of cooperative was low. The study also revealed that rotational grazing (X ̅ =7.09), planting of cover crops (X ̅ =6.76), planting of drought resistance varieties (X ̅ =6.57), use of compost and mulch (X ̅ =6.54) and capturing and storing water (X ̅ =6.35) were the water management strategies CSA adopted. Also, the use of green manure (X ̅ =3.32), no-till or zero tillage practice (X ̅ =3.16) and agro-forestry (X ̅ =3.04) were the conservative CSA strategies adopted. Similarly, the soil and land management CSA strategies adopted include; afforestation (X ̅ =6.28), ploughing land in direct direction (X ̅ =5.94), crop rotation (X ̅ =5.91) and shifting cultivation (X ̅ =5.94). the result also shows that level of education, complexity of CSA, access to government support, family labour, relative advantage of CSA and compatibility of CSA were the significant factors influencing adoption of climate smart agricultural technologies in the study area. Furthermore, the result shows that more than half (52.1%) of the arable farmers were food secure. Hence it was recommended that the arable farmers should be encouraged to sustain adoption different CSA practices to enhanced their agricultural productivity.
