Climate change is affecting farmers in South Africa, but by understanding their perceptions and factors influencing their choices, we can help them adapt. Factors like age, education, farming experience, and access to information influence how farmers adopt climate change adaptation strategies. Education, off-farm jobs, and training can help farmers better adapt to climate change and improve productivity. The government should focus on supporting education, providing training, and sharing information about climate change adaptation strategies to help smallholder farmers in the country.
