Abstract: In the face of escalating climate change challenges, the agricultural sector plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security and sustainable development. This paper delves into the imperative adoption of e-Extension systems to enhance the delivery of climate-smart agriculture practices in Nigeria. The current state of climate-smart agriculture in Nigeria underscores the need for an integrated e-Extension framework. The study delves into the potential benefits of employing digital platforms, mobile applications, and web-based systems in disseminating climate-resilient agricultural practices. Emphasis is placed on the efficiency, scalability, and accessibility of e-Extension systems, which can bridge information gaps, promote sustainable farming methods, and empower farmers to adapt to evolving climate conditions. Furthermore, the article discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with the adoption of e-Extension systems in the Nigerian agricultural landscape. In conclusion, this advocates for the strategic integration of e-Extension systems as a catalyst for the widespread adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices in Nigeria. The synthesis of technology and agriculture is envisioned to empower farmers, improve productivity, and contribute to the nation’s resilience in the face of climate variability.
