 CLIMATE  CHANGE AND AGRICULTURE

 Climate change and the agriculture  are interrelated   processes  both of which  take a space on a globle scale . Global warming is projected  to have significant on conditions affecting agriculture ,including  temperature , carbondioxide , Glacial Run-off , precipitation  and  the interaction of these elements . These elements determine the carring  capacity of the biosphere  to produce enough food  for the human population  and domesticated animals .

Climate change drivers  and effect to agriculture

  The drivers that lead  to effects on agriculture  will be grouped into  five categories

 Temperature affects plants , animals , animals , pests  and water  supplies . For example , temperature  alterations directly affect crop growth rates , livestock  performance  and appetite , pest incidence  and  water supplies in soil  and reserviours among other influences .

 Precipitation alters the water directly available to crops, the drought stress  crops  are placed   under , The supply of forage for animals , animal production  conditions , irrigation , water supplies   and  river flows supporting barge transport  among other items .

 Changes in the atmospheric CO2  influences  the  growth  of plants  by altering  the basic fuel  for photosynthesis  as wella as the water that plants need as they grow  along with the growth rates  of weeds . Extreme events  influence  production condition s , water supplies , and can alter  water borne transport  and ports .

Sea level  rise influences ports , water borne  transport  and can inundate producing lands .
