\section{Introduction}  Due Several decades of scientic work on understanding the climate systems has led  to human influence increasing certainty that changes in  the climate systems are influenced by human activity. As the 5th Assessment Report of the IPCC notes, there  is changing. More 95 percent confidence that the increase in global surface temperature is caused by the anthropogenic increase in greenhouse gas concentrations \cite{stocker2013climate}. As a result, more  extreme weather occurrences like such as  heavy precipitation and extreme droughts have been predicted for the future. To cope Coping  with this, worldwide adjustments are needed. However, these changing weather patterns requires mitigation measures to reduce future GHG emissions along with adaptation measures, particlarly  in some those  regions this that will be severely affected by future weather extremes.   However, large differences within the regions have to be acknowledged and dealt with. In most of the developed Annex I countries a well-functioning system of institutions and organisations  is easier than others. Well established national governments can in place to  invest in large-scale adaptation and mitigation  measures to help within  their countries. national territories.  In countries that do not have developing countries, however, governance and institutions are often poorly developed, resulting in  awell-established government or that  lack of  financial means investments in order  to adjust, this tasks fall on the shoulders of the countries' population. cope with a changing climate. Under these circumstances measures are required to be taken by individual citizens.  Furthermore, some issues can only be addressed on local scale. This goes for farming operations in Africa. For large parts of Africa a decrease in precipitation and an increase in droughts has been predicted. This can shorten the growing period in an area, leading to the failing of crops which could greatly endangers the livelihood of local farmers, and the lives of people in areas that already have problems with food scarcity \cite{Waha_2013}.   In this paper adaptation measures that can be applied by smallholder farmers to protect their crops against climate change will be examined. This will be done by ansering the question: What kind of adaptation measures can smallholder farmers in Africa implement to cope with climate change?
