This project focuses on the impact of climate change on smallholder farmers in Kenya. It examines how changing weather patterns, increased temperatures, and erratic rainfall affect agricultural productivity and livelihoods. Through a case study approach, it aims to identify challenges faced by farmers and explore potential adaptation strategies to build resilience in the face of climate change.

Project Overview: Analyzing the Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture in Africa

Thesis Title: Analyzing the Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture in Africa: A Case Study of Smallholder Farmers in Kenya

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today, with significant implications for agricultural production and food security. The African continent is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, given its reliance on rain-fed agriculture and the limited adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers.

This thesis aims to analyze the impact of climate change on agriculture in Africa, with a specific focus on smallholder farmers in Kenya. By conducting a case study in Kenya, this research seeks to understand how climate change is affecting agricultural practices, crop yields, and livelihoods of smallholder farmers in the region.

The study will employ a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methods to gather data on current climate trends, agricultural practices, and socio-economic conditions of smallholder farmers. By analyzing this data, the research aims to identify key vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies that can help mitigate the impact of climate change on agriculture in Kenya.

Through this research, valuable insights can be gained into the challenges faced by smallholder farmers in adapting to a changing climate, as well as the potential opportunities for building resilience and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in the face of climate change. The findings of this study can inform policy decisions, agricultural interventions, and development strategies aimed at addressing the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Africa.

Ultimately, this project contributes to the broader understanding of the complex interactions between climate change, agriculture, and food security in Africa, providing valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working in the fields of climate change adaptation and sustainable agriculture.
