Land Tenure, Diet Diversity and Climate Adaptation in Nigeria

Analyzing the Interconnections Between Land Tenure, Diet Diversity and Climate Adaptation in Oyo State, Nigeria

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Nigeria’s economy, underpinning food security and livelihoods for millions. As climate change intensifies, understanding its impacts on crop production is crucial for safeguarding food security. This research explores the link between land tenure, diet diversity and climate adaptation strategies in Oyo State, Nigeria. This work combines survey data with statistical methods to explain those connections and set the foundation to advise policy makers in implementing programs aimed at empowering smallholder farmers. Moreover, we utilize remote sensing methods using GoPro data and satellite imagery to monitor crops and spatial patterns that can help us better understand how crops adapt to the changing climate.
