Abstract: Various studies have shown that sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is highly vulnerable to impact of climate change because of its overreliance on agricultural production which is rain fed and highly susceptible to weather and climate. Climate change impacts on agricultural production range from direct effects on agricultural production such as poor output and death of livestock to fluctuations in market supply and prices of food commodities. Based on the review, climate in the sub-Sahara regions is already showing significant changes, as evidenced in fluctuation in average temperatures and rainfall patterns as well as intensity of extreme weather event. It also showed that climate change is unpredictable, but its severity could be felt on agricultural production and food security in SSA.
