Resumo: | Climate change brings a huge threat to the sustainability of food production and other livelihood activities in vulnerable areas like Nigeria, because it relies majorly on rain-fed agriculture. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of climate smart agricultural practices (CSAP) on food security of farming households in the Kwara State, North-Central Nigeria. A three-stage sampling technique was used to select ninety farming households, and a structured questionnaire to obtain information for the study. The collected data were analyzed using the food security index, adaptation strategy use index and logistic regression model. The result revealed that crop rotation is the most used CSAP in the study area, and that 16.67 % of the respondents are low users, 53.33 % medium users and 30 % high users of CSAP. It was also observed that 58.9 % of the farming households are food secured, while 41.1 % are food insecure. The logistic regression showed that the food security of the farming households is significantly affected by education, access to extension visits, farm size, off-farm income and CSAP. KEYWORDS: Climate change, rain-fed agriculture, crop rotation. |

KEYWORDS: Climate change, rain-fed agriculture, crop rotation.A mudança climática traz uma enorme ameaça à sustentabilidade da produção de alimentos e outras atividades de subsistência em áreas vulneráveis como a Nigéria, a qual depende, principalmente, da agricultura de sequeiro. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de práticas agrícolas inteligentes para o clima (PAIC) na segurança alimentar de famílias agricultoras no estado de Kwara, centro-norte da Nigéria. A técnica de amostragem em três estágios foi usada para selecionar noventa famílias agricultoras, e um questionário estruturado para obter informações para o estudo. Os dados coletados foram analisados por meio do índice de segurança alimentar, índice de uso da estratégia de adaptação e modelo de regressão logística. O resultado revelou que a rotação de culturas é a PAIC mais utilizada na área de estudo, e que 16,67 % dos entrevistados são pequenos usuários, 53,33 % médios usuários e 30 % grandes usuários de PAIC. Também observou-se que 58,9 % das famílias agricultoras dispõem de segurança alimentar, enquanto 41,1 % não dispõem. A regressão logística mostrou que a segurança alimentar das famílias agricultoras é significativamente afetada pela educação, acesso a visitas de extensão, tamanho da fazenda, renda fora da fazenda e PAIC.
