Society of Extension Education GujaratAbstract: Agriculture and Climate are mutually dependent. There is a need to understand the effect of climate change on agricultural sector both at global and as well as at regional level. The present study was conducted in 2020, to know the effects of climate change on farmers' adaptation. Ex post facto research design applied for this research. Pre prepared questionnaires have been distributed to120 respondents in three districts of north - west regions of Herat province and analyzed with the help of suitable statistical tests and the findings showed that, all farmers opined that, wheat's varieties were changed from long duration to short duration, time of planting, switching over to other crops was observed among farmers. Spacing between the rows/plants, quantity of seeds used and quantity of organic fertilizer application were increased after 2010. The major constraint to initiate adaptation measures was; difficult to work in the field due to severe temperature and the important suggestion to mitigate the ill effects of climate change was; planning to control and store rainwater through the implementation of watershed management program. Based on the results of this study, it is hoped that appropriate strategies/ measures can be worked out to create awareness and learning mechanisms to enable farmers to handle their situations better.
