Review on Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture

Abstract

Climate change exerts profound effects on agriculture via many interrelated mechanisms, constituting a substantial hazard to global food security and the economic well-being of farmers across the globe. The ramifications of these changes are becoming progressively apparent and are anticipated to exacerbate in the ensuing years. Ethiopia is classified among the least developed nations globally; however, it has experienced a noteworthy trajectory of economic expansion and a significant decrease in poverty levels in recent years, characterized by an average GDP growth rate of 10.1 percent for two decades, alongside an approximate GDP per capita growth rate of 8 percent. The regulatory services pertinent to the mitigation of climate change that the agricultural sector may furnish encompass the comprehensive diminution of greenhouse gas emissions. The aims of the review are (i) To determine how climate change affects agricultural productivity, (ii) To determine the economic and food security impact of climate change, and (iii) Contribute to the agriculture strategy system adaptation and mitigation.
