dc.description.abstractThe study findings conclude there is strong evidence demonstrating the vulnerability of rain fed agriculture to negative impacts of climate change and variability in the study area. Four village clusters were selected in semi-arid parts of Tabora Region in Tanzania; both primary and secondary data were collected through structured questionnaire interviews, focus group discussion, documentary review and field observations. Rainfall has generally been declining over the last 35 seasons, while both minimum and maximum temperature trends have increased. This was coupled by anomalous behaviour of inter-seasonal dry spells.en
