Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture
摘要
In a particular region for a crop to be grown, one needs, good soil, good climate and sufficient water. Climate affects temperature trends, seasons, length of the growing season, amount of sunlight and seasonality of sunlight etc. A change in climate may cause recurrent drought, floods and weather aberrations that would affect agricultural production, ultimately human sustenance. The relationship between climate and agricultural production is very complex as it is dependent on climate which also plays its role in the emission of greenhouse gases. Nair (Intelligent soil management for sustainable agriculture: the nutrient buffer power concept. Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2019) has elaborately discussed this aspect in his book “Combating Global Warming: The Role of Crop Wild Relatives for Food Security” published by Springer Nature.
