dc.description.alternativeAbstractUnlike many areas of the world where agricultural producers exhibit the physical, economic and social resources to moderate, or adapt, subsistence agriculture in the northwest and far north regions of Cameroon is seems to be particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate variability. This is in part due to the fact that the majority of the population depends so much on rain fed agriculture for their livelihood. Adapting to climate change in the subsistence agricultural sector is therefore very imperative in providing food security and thus protecting the livelihood of rural communities. This study examined the patterns of current climatic variables on some selected subsistence staple crops namely millet and vegetables in the far north and northwest regions of Cameroon respectively. It also valorized the communities based adaptations and strategies used by local farmers to cope with current climate change, explored the constraints and opportunities in adaptations and mitigations that could facilely be integrated incorporated into policies and programs. The guiding premises were that climatic change impacts subsistence crop productivity as the lower the rainfall, the higher the vulnerability of the productivity of staple crops. It also hypothesized that the present communities based strategies used by the local farmers are relevant and crucial to the present day quest for climate change adaptation strategies. Additionally, some of these indigenous strategies are inherent in ecological agricultural practices that offer a win-win scenario for the simultaneously tackling of climate change adaptation and mitigation and hence meeting the development goals. The result further highlights the lack of money ,poor access to climate information, the encroachment of desert and shortage of man power are some of the factors hindering subsistence farmers ‘ability to adapt. The key to the ability of farmers to adapt would be access to relevant knowledge and information. Following the rich repertoire of strategies by local farmers, adaptation needed to be mainstreamed and institutional networks strengthened in order for effective community based adaptation.-
