| Résumé: | This study assesses factors that influence access to and uptake of climate change adaptation information for awareness
creation among smallholder tomato growers in selected rural parts of Tanzania. The study considers the demographic
characteristics of smallholder tomato growers, finding that they are major factors in determining the acquisition and
uptake of climate change information. The most needed information for climate change adaptation includes droughtand
disease-tolerant tomato seeds and the application of pesticides and various types of fertilizers. Smallholder tomato
growers prefer to acquire information on climate change adaptation from relatives, friends, neighbors, and sources like
the radio and mobile phones. |
