    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;ABSTRACT&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Agriculture remains the main activity in the Ethiopian economy being the most susceptible sector to climate change. This study was initiated to analyze the effect of climate change on crop productivity and livestock production, and assess perception and adaptation strategies of farmers in Raya Kobo Woreda.. Climate data (1990-2019) and crop data from 2010-2019 were collected from the National Meteorology Agency of Ethiopia (NMA) and agricultural office of the woreda respectively. Data on farmers&amp;rsquo; perception of climate change and adaptation strategies used in the study area were collected from 322 household heads using structured questionnaire. Descriptive and Inferential statics were used to check the relationship between climate variables and agricultural production. Meteorological analyses of climate variability results, which demonstrated a statistically significant increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall in the study area. The results of analysis showed rainfall and temperature contribute significant variations in the yield of the selected items in the study area. Livestock Production in Raya kobo Woreda were also appeared inconsistent as shown with coefficient of variation 30%, 24%, 26%, 36% 44% and 22% for oxen, Cows Sheep Goat, camel and chicken respectively. Perception analysis indicated that most of the respondents perceived long-term variability in pattern of rainfall and temperature. The current result revealed that when the annual rainfall diverges from its long run mean, the level of production of all crops and livestock diminished significantly. Extreme temperature had also diminished the productivity of livestock and crop. Thus, it is concluded that extreme temperature and rainfall were an inevitable treat to crop and livestock production in the study area. Thus, to sustain economic growth and reduce those risks, farmers intensify adaptation and mitigation measures such as s oil and water conservation, livelihood diversification environmental rehabilitation, irrigation and water harvesting schemes, planting trees, mixed cropping, using resistant varieties and small irrigation.&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
