Abstract

Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies (CSATs) have emerged as innovative solutions that seek to revolutionize traditional agricultural practices by leveraging enabled sensors and automation and using data analytics to boost yields, reduce costs, and increase profitability. With Nigeria’s largely agrarian rural population, the adoption of CSATs has the ability to transform the country’s agricultural sector significantly. The implementation of CSATs in rural Nigerian communities can enhance the productivity and sustainability of smallholder farmers, particularly in the face of climate change-induced challenges. By utilizing advanced techniques and technologies, farmers can optimize production while minimizing negative impacts on the environment. Furthermore, the integration of digital platforms would enable smallholder farmers to access critical market information, which could lead to better prices for their products. This paper provides a comprehensive review of works that have been done on the potential application and adoption of CSATs in rural Nigeria. The study highlights the importance of creating an enabling environment that incentivizes farmers to adopt these technologies.
