The impact of climate change on food production is creating serious concern to both individuals and government in Nigeria. This is because agriculture is the mainstay of over 70% of the country's inhabitants and it remains the best answer to the economic recession in the nation currently. This study examined the current constraints of state farmers to climate change adaptation in Adamawa State, Nigeria. A Purposive Cluster Sampling Technique (PCST) was used in selecting a total of 480 crop farmers across the 4 Agricultural zones of the state. Data were collected mainly from the 480 respondents with a structured questionnaire. Rainfall and temperature data were obtained from the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET). The data were analyzed with both descriptive and inferential statistical tools
