THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ONAGRICULTURE

Abstract

Climate change poses significant challenges to global agriculture, affecting crop yields, soil fertility, water availability, and food security. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events threaten agricultural productivity and sustainability. This paper examines the effects of climate change on agriculture, analyzing environmental, economic, and social implications.
Using a qualitative review of academic studies, climate reports, and case studies from diverse regions, the study highlights the vulnerability of crops, livestock, and farming systems. Findings indicate that adaptation strategies, such as climate-resilient crops, efficient irrigation, and sustainable land management, are essential for mitigating adverse effects. The paper concludes that integrating climate change considerations into agricultural planning is crucial for ensuring global food security and sustainable development.
