Climate change is a phenomenon that affects all countries in the world and all sectors. This problem causes farmers to have difficulties in identifying their agricultural practices. In Mahajanga, as a result of climatic problems, agricultural production is decreasing from year to year. With abrupt changes in rainfall patterns, farmers are especially faced with water shortages. This study was carried out through investigations among farmers. We developed questionnaires on climate variability and adaptation strategies to these phenomena.
