摘要

Climate change is one of the most discussed issues which has direct bearing on day-to-day life of people. The multi-faceted challenges are being posed by the global climate change; however, agriculture is the worst affected area where its dynamics are controlled by various parameters of climate like temperature, precipitation and topography. Even a slight change in temperature, precipitation and emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) can affect the livelihood of people because agriculture is the mainstay of majority of workforce. The future challenges which are considered as a threat to human survival need to be addressed through mitigation and adaptation strategies. The objective of the study is to evolve a strategy for mitigation and adaptation strategies to face the challenges posed by global climate change. The study is based on secondary sources of data collected from different research papers, statistical bulletins and published reports. Suitable statistical techniques have been used in analysing the data and the result has been visualized through suitable cartographic techniques. Study reveals that an increasing demand of food grain to meet the ever-increasing population is mounting pressure on dynamics of agriculture that if not addressed scientifically and systematically will create a serious issue in days to come. The ample evidence of impact of climate change on agriculture is available in researches available in public domain. The current study can be taken as a sample for various measures of adaptation and mitigation.
