Climate change is adversely affecting global agriculture by causing unpredictable weather and reducing crop yields, with a potential 15% decrease in wheat production due to a 2°C temperature rise. Farmers are adopting climate-smart techniques and innovations like genetically modified crops and AgTech to mitigate these effects. Policymakers are supporting these efforts through subsidies and adaptation programs to promote sustainable agricultural practices.

Effects of Climate Change on Agriculture

Climate change has significantly impacted global agriculture, leading to unpredictable weather

patterns and reduced crop yields.

Studies indicate that a 2°C increase in temperature could reduce wheat production by 15%.

Farmers are adopting climate-smart techniques

such as precision irrigation and drought-resistant crops to mitigate risks.

One of the major consequences of climate change is shifting rainfall patterns. Prolonged

droughts and unseasonal floods have become more

common, severely affecting food production. In regions heavily reliant on agriculture, such as

South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa,

these changes pose serious threats to food security.

Innovations such as genetically modified (GM) crops are being explored to counter the adverse

effects of climate change. Crops with

enhanced resistance to pests, drought, and extreme weather conditions are being developed to

improve yield stability.

Additionally, agricultural technology (AgTech) is playing a crucial role in mitigating climate

change effects. Precision farming

techniques, such as soil sensors and automated irrigation systems, help optimize resource usage

and reduce environmental impact.

Policymakers are also stepping in to support farmers through subsidies and climate adaptation

programs. The collaboration between

governments, scientists, and farmers is crucial in ensuring sustainable agricultural practices amid
climate change challenges.
