A Comprehensive Review of the Impact of Climate Change on Food Security and Crop Productivity | Chapter 5 | Research Advances and Challenges in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 7

This comprehensive review delves into the intricate change of climate, assessing its profound impact on global food security and crop productivity. Climate change and its variability are serious concerns for humankind, as the consequences may include the rapid melting of glaciers, changes in precipitation patterns, more frequent extreme weather events, shifting seasons, the spread of pests and diseases, and other socio-economic impacts. Examining the effects of climate change on agriculture and addressing important issues, the study puts particular emphasis on the difficulties faced by sensitive areas like South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. While navigating the challenges of mitigating crop growth pattern changes caused by climate change, the review emphasizes the urgency of adaptive measures for sustainable global agriculture. In addition, it examines how biodiversity may be affected by climate change while taking into account the interdependence of natural systems. Highlighting the imperative for innovation, the review underscores the pressing need for transformative farming methods to tackle the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change. The emphasis is on ensuring the resilience of global agriculture in the face of climatic shifts. In conclusion, the review provides a compelling call to action, advocating for the prompt implementation of innovative farming practices to fortify the global agricultural sector against the evolving challenges brought about by climate change, fostering sustainability and adaptability. Overall, the review underscores the intricate relationship between climate change, food security, and biodiversity, emphasizing the critical importance of proactive measures to mitigate the adverse effects and safeguard planetary health.
