In recent years, the land pact region has experienced the vulnerability and adverse effects of climate change. This research analyses the adaptation strategies used by farmers to improve their living conditions. The methodology used consists of collecting, processing and analysing results based on 120 farmers in two districts of each commune. The field results reveal that the indicators are: the delay in the start of the rains, the appearance of pockets of drought during the rainy season, the early end of the rainy season, the increase in daily temperature, the appearance of violent winds, the multiplication of pockets of drought during the rainy season, the increase in the level of plant attack and finally the poor spatial distribution of the rains. Added to all this are the main climatic risks: pockets of drought (83%), poor spatial distribution of rainfall (71%) and rising temperatures (39%). Appropriate methods of adaptation to climate change are needed.
