This thesis explores the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity in a developing country context. It focuses on understanding how changing climatic conditions are affecting farmers and their livelihoods, and investigates the adaptation strategies they are employing to cope with these challenges. By examining real-life case studies, the research aims to provide valuable insights into the intersection of climate change, agriculture, and sustainable development.

Project Overview
The study aims to investigate the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity and identify the adaptation strategies adopted by farmers in a developing country. Climate change is a pressing issue that is significantly affecting the agricultural sector, leading to variability in growing seasons, changes in precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events. These changes have serious implications for food security and rural livelihoods, especially in developing countries where agriculture plays a crucial role in the economy.
The research will be conducted using a case study approach, focusing on a specific developing country to understand the unique challenges faced by farmers in the region. The study will involve collecting data through surveys, interviews, and field observations to assess the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity, including crop yields, livestock production, and income generation for farmers.
Additionally, the research will explore the adaptation strategies implemented by farmers to mitigate the effects of climate change on their livelihoods. These strategies may include changes in crop selection, water management practices, adoption of new technologies, and diversification of income sources. By identifying and analyzing these strategies, the study aims to provide insights into effective ways for farmers to adapt to the changing climate and improve their resilience.
The findings of this research will contribute to the existing literature on climate change and agriculture, particularly in the context of developing countries. The results will also have practical implications for policymakers, agricultural extension services, and development organizations working to support smallholder farmers in adapting to climate change. Ultimately, the study seeks to raise awareness about the importance of building climate-resilient agricultural systems to ensure food security and sustainable development in a changing climate.
