Impact Of Climate Change On Agricultural Productivity In India

Abstract

A big concern for India's economy and food supply is the impact of climate change on the country's agricultural production. To determine the impact of climate variables on agricultural production, such as temperature and rainfall, this study examines multiple regions of India. By integrating primary and secondary sources of information, such as weather records and statistics on agricultural output, the study identifies the regions and crops that are most vulnerable.  Also included is an evaluation of the farmers' present level of adaptability to changing circumstances. The findings demonstrate that rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns are having a detrimental effect on crop yields, with rainfed crops bearing the brunt of this impact. According to the research, adaptive techniques and regionally specific policy actions are essential for making agriculture more resilient. Among the recommendations are initiatives to promote sustainable farming practices, improve irrigation infrastructure, and back climate-smart agriculture. The study adds to what is already known by filling in data gaps and offering practical ways to lessen the negative impact of climate change on agriculture. Protecting agricultural productivity in India and ensuring food security in the long run from the effects of climate change requires preventative measures, according to this study's findings.
