Abstract

Climate change impact on crop production is a global issue that is contributing to food insecurity, crop farmers in Rivers State are finding it difficult to meet the food demand of the teaming population in the state due to climate change impact. This paper x-rays the impacts of climate change impact on crop production in the state, these include low productivity, loss of biodiversity, breed of conflict or communal crisis, causes displacement of farming communities amongst others. However, to meet up the food demand and also sustenance of rural economy which is dependent on farming, different climate change mitigation and adaptation measures were suggested as way forward for crop farmers in the state.
