Climate variability entails short to medium term fluctuations of climatic variables around mean state on climate scales. Impacts of climate variability include amongst others: increase in extreme weather conditions; land degradation, changes in rainfall patterns; diminishing natural resource productivity; and in some areas, irreversible loss of biodiversity. Agricultural sector is sensitive to climatic conditions and hence vulnerable to climate fluctuations. The severity of the aforementioned impacts depends on the extent of adaptation as this has the potential to substantially reduce many of the adverse impacts. This study assessed farmer adaptation strategies to climate variability in Kaka
