Abstract: This study was aimed to compare farmers perception of climate change and variability in three kebeles of Ensaro district of Amhara Regional State of Ethiopia with 30 years meteorological data. One hundred and twenty-four sample household heads were selected, of which 22 participants were female headed households. A FGD with six participants in each kebeles were held and key informant interviews were held at the district level. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis were used to compare with 30 years historical climatic data from the gridded satellite image of the study area.
