My research aims to explore how agricultural co-operatives can bolster smallholder farmers’ resilience to climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa. Climate variability, characterized by drought, unpredictable rainfall, and soil degradation, continues to threaten food security, yet agricultural co-operatives remain underutilized in adaptation strategies. I plan to examine how co-operatives facilitate resource pooling, provide institutional support, and enable access to climate-smart innovations, while encouraging rural farmers to adopt climate-resilient crops that improve productivity and ensure long-term food security.
