The study concerns the adverse effects of climate change on peri-urban agriculture in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The overall objective of this research is to contribute to a better understanding of the endogenous strategies put in place by market gardeners to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. To this end, a questionnaire survey was carried out on a sample of 100 randomly selected market gardeners in the Funa valley, on the outskirts of the Monastery of the Our Lady of the Assumption. This was complemented by field observations. Meteorological data covering a period of 30 years (1990-2020) made it possible to assess the evolution of precipitation and temperature. The results indicate that the respondents are informed about climate change and perceive its effects through the increase in temperature (93%) and rainfall (86%). Market gardeners reported that climate change induces water stress, stunting and low crop germination rate. The intensification of the use of fertilizers, the gradual abandonment of the empirical agricultural calendar, the supply of water for the fight against drought and the construction of dykes and drainage canals are the adaptation strategies developed by market gardeners in order to limit the harmful consequences of climate change on agricultural production.
