Abstract:	The impacts of climate change are affecting sustenance and livelihood of many rural farmers in Africa. The majority of these farmers have low adaptive capacity. This study investigates climate change impacts, farmers' perception, adaptation options and barriers to adaptation in three selected ecological zones in Nigeria using three staple crops. Rainfall and temperature data of over 35 years were analysed using ANOVA, Mann Kendall and Sen's Slope Analysis. Farmers' perception of climate change and cropping experiences were assessed with the aid of a well-structured questionnaire, semi-structured interview and focus group discussion.
