The
adverse effects of climatic changes on agriculture have always been an issue of
global concern. In the post COVID-19 crisis scenario, such issue related to
food security will gain more importance, particularly after the lockdown period
which has disrupted many economic activities including agricultural production.
This article focuses on some of the effects of climatic changes (changes in
temperature, precipitation and CO2 levels) on agricultural production and their
influence on various biological parameters related to agricultural yields.
Along with scientific advances, proper planning and micro level road maps need
to be developed to retain the beneficial effects of climatic changes (for
example reduction of greenhouse gas emissions) resultant from the lockdown due
to the crisis and to endorse sustainable means of agriculture for the future.
Techniques like regenerative agriculture and crop rotation could gain renewed
importance and the application of payment for ecosystem services (PES) approach
to agricultural practices would allow the balanced co-existence of environment
and anthropogenic activities as the human race re-orients itself to the altered
situation in the post COVID-19 scenario.
