When the Rains No Longer Follow the Rules By Dajie Odok With the Support of CJID

The impact of climate change continues to be felt across various aspects of human endeavour. For farmers, the effects are even more pronounced. A changing climate means alterations to their knowledge of weather patterns and farming seasons. In Oyo State, farmers grapple with this new normal, amid uncertainty, crop losses, dwindling profits, and burgeoning debts. In this mini-documentary, commissioned by CJID, Dajie Odok of Radio IITA explores how smallholder farmers in Oyo State, a major food-producing hub, are adapting to the impacts of climate change, the climate-smart solutions available, and how extension workers are bridging the gap between these solutions and farmers’ uptake.
