Small scale farmers in arid and semi arid areas are
working hard to be able to get output on their farms in the changing climate
patterns. These patterns are characterized by short irregular rains and long
drought spells. In order to mitigate climate changes there is need to plant
trees. Trees trap carbon from atmosphere, trimmed to provide mulch and
decompose to become manure. Data were
collected through face to face interviews and descriptive analysis done. It was
recommended that tree nurseries of drought resistant trees be established in
the arid and semi arid areas to make seedlings available to the farmers.
