Climate Change and Agriculture

Climate change significantly affects agriculture by altering weather patterns, such as temperature changes and irregular rainfall. These shifts can lead to reduced crop yields, affecting food security and farmers' incomes. Additionally, extreme weather events like droughts and floods can damage crops and disrupt supply chains. In the context of agricultural and rural development, adapting practices to be more resilient, such as sustainable farming methods and diversification of crops, becomes essential. Addressing climate change is crucial for ensuring that rural communities thrive and that we produce enough food to meet global needs.
