Harvesting Resilience: Navigating Climate Change Impact on Agriculture

Abstract

As climate change accelerates, its impacts on agriculture become increasingly profound, posing significant challenges to global food security and rural livelihoods. This paper describes the current state of affairs, offering insights into how climate change is reshaping agricultural landscapes and practices. Emphasizing the susceptibility of crops and agricultural systems to severe weather conditions, water shortages and changing patterns of pests and diseases, it stresses the critical need for prompt adaptation and mitigation measures. By exploring innovative strategies and technologies, as well as the implications of policy responses, this paper provides a roadmap for navigating the complex intersection of climate change and agriculture. As we confront the present realities and gaze into the future, understanding these implications is paramount to building resilient and sustainable agricultural systems capable of withstanding the challenges ahead.
