Climate Change and Its Impact on Crop Yields: Strategies for Adaptation

Abstract

Climate change presents a significant challenge to global agriculture, impacting crop yields through alterations in temperature, precipitation patterns, and the increased frequency of extreme weather events. This paper explores the multifaceted impacts of climate change on crop yields, emphasizing the need for adaptive strategies to mitigate these effects. It reviews current scientific understanding of climate change's impact on agriculture, examines case studies highlighting regional variations, and discusses adaptive measures including crop diversification, improved agricultural practices, and technological innovations. The study underscores the urgency of implementing adaptive strategies to ensure food security and sustainable agricultural development in the face of a changing climate.
