Agriculture places a heavy burden on the environment in the process of providing humanity with food
and fibres. It is recognized that agriculture has positive externalities such as the environmental services
and amenities that it provides, for example through the creation or maintenance of rural landscapes
which is given high priority by some developed countries. Trade-offs between food security and the
environment is what is being practiced in most developing countries. There are strong indications and
already evidence that the agricultural and food system as well as the rural areas across the world are
experiencing major change. This change has drastically reduced soil fertility and poor agricultural
outputs particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is evidenced in some notable towns and communities
in South Western Nigeria that are noted for the production of a peculiar agricultural commodity.
Recently, these commodities are gradually going into extinction and the community involved cannot
explain why this is so, majority of the respondents attached this incidence to spiritual dimension and
not changes in climate. This study therefore examined the people’s perception about climate change
and strategies employed to adapt. This study conclude that there is a need for agricultural economists
and other stakeholders in environmental management and agricultural sustainability in developing
countries to come to terms with negative impacts of climate change and likely positive and beneficial
response strategies to global warming.
