The major adaptation strategies initiated against agriculture-driven deforestation were agroforestry (x —4.00), awareness/education (I = 4.00), and paying farmers to conserve ecosystem(x=3.95).LULCstatisticsshowsthatwaterbodyincreasedfrom82Km2to 90.03Kiu2,vegetationcover decreased from 1l,618Km2 to 9,720.24Km2, developed area increasedfrom507.42km2to1,443.7km2whileagriculturalland increased from4,476Km°to 4,922.02Kni2between2013and2023respectively.Thetemperaturerangebetween2013and 2023wasslightlylower,temperaturedecreasedwithincreaseinvegetationcoverovertheyears atabout61%relationships,therewasasimilarnegativerelationship between vegetationcover and carbon dioxide concentration at 84%. Logistic regressionmodel shows that income (§= 1.000 p<0.10), practice preferred (§= 1.653, p<0.10) and land ownership (b=0.558, p<0.05) negativelyinfluencedawareness ofclimate variability while non-farmincome (§=l.000, p<0.01) positively influenced awareness of climate variability. The study concludes that unchecked agriculture-induced deforestationexacerbatesclimate variabilityin Ogun State leading to temperature variations, lossofstored carbon ascarbon dioxide intotheatmosphere and increased greenhouse gas emissions resulting in global warming, the assessment revealed that without secured land, farmers focused on short-term gains, rather than long-term sustainability, they overexploitednatural resourcesleading toescalated deforestation,soil degradation and lossof biodiversity.

Thus, this study examined the effects ofcredit utilization and risk managementpracticesontheproductionefficiencyofcassava-basedfarmersinSouthwest, Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 378 respondents for the study. The firststageinvolvedthepurposivesamplingofOgunandOyoStates,whileinthelaststage, convenient sampling technique was used toselect 378 cassava-basedfarmers for thestudy. Kobo Toolbox powered questionnaire was used to obtain primary data on farmers' personal characteristics,inputsandoutputsquantities,pricesandriskmanagementpractices.Datawere analysedwithdescriptivestatistics,Translogstochasticoutputandinputdistancefunctions. Resultsshowthat67.0%oftherespondentsweremalewithanaverageage,farmsizeand farmingexperienceof51years,2.1haand12years,respectively.Majority(62.0%)ofthe respondentsrentedfarmlandatH20,000.00/ha/annumwith450kg/haofcassavastemsanda mean output of 12.5tons/ha. Furthermore,respondents expended an average of R6,500/workday, H4,500/ltrandH680/kg onlabour, herbicidesandfertilizers, respectively.Majority (65.6%)of therespondentswere co-operativememberswhile 69.9%obtainedcredits from formal sources and predominantlyused credit for land clearing (73.2%), planting (71.6%), weeding (70.4%) and harvesting (64.5%). The respondents indicate that the major risks facing cassava-based farming were lowcrop yield (87.6%), pest and diseases (73.5%) and inflation (63.1%).Risk management practices commonlyusedbythe respondentswere planting ofearly maturingvarieties (85.6%) anddiversificationoffarmactivities(72.7%) while farm insurance(15.5%) and contractwith off-takers (27.3%) were less commonly practiced. Translog production function showed that the meantechnical,allocativeandeconomicefficiencyoftherespondentswere91.7%,94.8%and 93.7%,respectively.Also,quantityofcassavastem(§=-0.468,p<0.01)positivelyinfluenced iVcassavaoutput,whilefarmingexperience(§=-0.117),creditutilizationratio(§=-0.179E-04), contractwithoff-takers(§=-0.552),diversificationoffarmactivities(§=-3.765)andinsurance offarm(§=-1.504)haveapositiveandsignificant(p<0.01)effectonthetechnicalefficiencyof thecassava-basedfarmers.Priceof land (§=0.080),labour wage (§=0.099),cassava stemprice (§=0.869),fertilizer price(§=0.743)andherbicide price(§=0.133)significantly (p<0.01) influencedthecostofcassavaproductionwhilecooperativemembership(§=0.005,p<0.01)and contract withoff-takers (a=0.006,p<0.01) hadapositiveandsignificant effectoncassava-based farmers' allocative efficiency. The study concluded that the farmers were efficient in cassava production. The study recommended easy access to credit, diversification of farm activitiesandriskmanagementtrainingstoimprovetheproductionefficienciesofthecassava-based farmers.
