This increases the need to improve farmers’ adaptive capacity to climate change. This paper explores how agricultural innovation platforms and nutrient monitoring tools impact farmers’ adaptive capacity in a smallholder irrigation scheme in Mozambique. Through qualitative and quantitative data, we assess the impacts across four domains of adaptation: farm, household, community/scheme and markets. The multi-faceted interventions improved farmers’ productivity, irrigation practices, scheme maintenance and livelihoods, thereby enhancing resilience and adaptive capacity to climate change in all assessed domains.This research was part of the project \u2018Transforming smallholder irrigation into profitable and self-sustaining systems in southern Africa\u2019, funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research [FSC/2013/006 and LWR/2016/137].
