This research aims to assess how climate change affects potato production in Bokkos, Nigeria, impacting food security and income.
Quantitative survey design involving 1,285 registered potato farmers from 8 districts.
Sample size of 306 selected using Taro Yamane's formula with a 5% margin of error and multistage sampling.
Data collected through structured Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 30.
Climate change significantly predicts potato production (β = 0.482, p < 0.001).
Government support negatively impacts production (β = -0.244, p = 0.002).
Combined predictors explain 30.2% of variance in potato production (F(4,301) = 32.496, p < 0.001).
