Effects of Climate Change on Crop Productions and Its AdaptionMechanism

Abstract

This seminar paper performed review on effects of climate change on crop production and its adaptation mechanisms. Climate change refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean of the climate or in its variability which may be due to natural processes or external forcing or to persistent anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in land use. Adaptation generally refers to actions taken to adjust to the consequences of climate change either before or after impacts is experienced. An adaptation to climate change takes place through adjustments to reduce vulnerability in response to observed or expected change in climate and associated extreme weather events of people who rely on climate dependent resources for their livelihoods. Climate change has various effects on crop production. For instance; food availability reduction scarcity of water and crop yield reduction are observable effects of climate change. Even though Crop production affected by climate change we can reverse its impacts through adaptation mechanisms;
such as, using participatory approaches, promoting insurance schemes for climate change risk have vital role to reverse impacts.
