Climate Change and Its Impact on Agriculture

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, largely driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Its impacts on agriculture are significant, including altered rainfall patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and shifting growing seasons. These changes can lead to reduced crop yields, increased pest and disease prevalence, and challenges in managing water resources. As a result, food security may be threatened, affecting both farmers' livelihoods and global food supply, making it crucial to adapt agricultural practices to mitigate these impacts.
