"Purpose\r\nThis study aimed to determine factors that increase resilience and cause smallholder farmers to adapt better to climate change and vulnerability.\r\n\r\nDesign/methodology/approach\r\nIn this study, the authors used the vulnerability to resilience model and binary logit model to analyse the factors influencing household decisions to adapt.\r\n\r\nFindings\r\nHouseholds with increased access to climate information through extension services were likely to have better adaptation abilities. It was also shown that younger farmers were likely to adapt to climate change given their flexibility to adopt new techniques and their access and use of modern information and technology. Larger households were found to have higher probability of adapting as most adaptation strategies are labour intensive. Household’s possession of livestock and access to credit significantly enhanced adaptation. However, households with higher farm income have lesser incentives to adapt to because their current farming practices might already be optimum.\r\n\r\nResearch limitations/implications\r\nGiven that most of the smallholder farmers are vulnerable, such as women-headed households and the elderly, who are labour constrained, there is need for research and development of labour saving technologies to increase resilience to climate change and vulnerability.\r\n\r\nOriginality/value\r\nThese findings underscore the importance of enabling farmer access to information and better technologies which enable them to increase adaptive capacity and resilience."^^ .
